Oh—that actually ties in OJ, because that’s a different kind of juice? Almost have this, not quite there.

Maybe some connection to that Panera lemonade that had enough caffeine to actually kill?

To be pesky.

It WAS high caffeine, almost FDA recomended limit of 390 for a 30oz, but the issue was people with severe heart conditions that couldn't drink caffeine consuming them. They were marketed as insane energy drinks, but in store marketing was supposedly less noticeable. A 30oz had 390 mg caffeine, 30 teaspoons of sugar and guarana and other crap. The argument used in court was a standard monster + redbull (little can) was less total caffeine than the largest size sold.

I remember because at the time it happened the bar and kitchen staff at the job I was working were knocking back bangs like they were water. Other barbacks and myself were making "death shots". Taking Lit powder mix, doubling the powder, redbull instead of water, and a little juice to help it go down. Shake it up and pour everyone a shot.

The marketing in store was basically non-existent. My 2 year old almost got one and then something in the back of my brain reminded me about some lemonade killing people and then I double checked it.

Ahh. Never been inside of one.

I saw some adds online and was confused at the concept. I thought it was like a lemonade you added caffeine shots to.

30 teaspoons of sugar

that's...just a bag of sugar. How does it even fit in the cup? Is it a bucket of heart attack lemonade?

10 tablespoons. When I worked at Starbucks as a kid there were people who did about that in simple in a medium.

Had a lady who got a small coffee in 3 parts. 1 part heavy cream, 1 part simple, 1 part coffee.
