Family sued after Sarah Katz died last year after drinking Charged Lemonade, apparently unaware of soda’s high caffeine content
Family sued after Sarah Katz died last year after drinking Charged Lemonade, apparently unaware of soda’s high caffeine content
This shit looks like lemonade to me. If I’m not specifically looking for the calorie content, I’m gonna filter out that caffeine content just like everyone else. A few hours later when I get the jitters, I’m never gonna be able to trace it back to that small yellow text on a green sign that I didn’t read because I’m not avoiding calories.
To your other point. I probably wouldn’t question it, because burgers typically don’t have alcohol or caffeine in them. Here’s a better comparison: you go to a restaurant you’re unfamiliar with and order the “Jacked BLT.” Does that sound like a marketing word, or a description of what comes on the sandwich? Because I would bet most people would order that sandwich expecting bacon, lettuce, tomato. I expect most people wouldn’t expect six scoops of vanilla protein powder, even if it says it comes with that in the fine print next to the nutritional information.
So your argument is ‘I don’t expect it, so it doesn’t happen, but even if it does, it’s not my fault for not reading’? Where else do you get lemonade with ‘coffee extract’? I mean the sign doesn’t explicitly say ‘hey dumbass there’s an assload of caffeine in me’ but with the numbers at the bottom there should be something about it that gives you pause. You have to stand there and fill your drink anyway, why are you not reading during those few seconds?
I am the annoying patreon who asks the waitstaff a bunch of questions to know what I’m ordering, so I’d definitely be like ‘wtf is this funky blt on the menu’. I’m a fatass, but at least I know what goes in my gut before I introduce the two. Ima die early but I’m going to know why I’m dying.
Raise the average bar, be smarter, read what you are consuming.
Now where is my damn vanilla bean creme frap?!
I feel like I explained better in this comment. The average person simply doesn’t pay attention to nutrition labels, because 99.99999999% of the time, it’s useless information.
Because I’m watching my drink to make sure it doesn’t overfill. This is totally absurd, nobody fills up a drink from one of these dispensers without watching the cup. You don’t fill up your drink without watching the cup. I know you don’t, because you’re a relatively normal human being who doesn’t want to spill lemonade all over the place. The fact that you brought this idea up shows that you aren’t interested in having a real conversation, you’re only interested in voicing the opinion you’ve already formed, even if it means talking absurdities to justify it.
But again, that’s their problem, not mine for being educated.
The world should be designed about people who read, yes. Glad we cleared that up for you.
Your drink does not immediately overflow, and even if you have a small cup, surely you turn to face the dispenser and approach it before you fill your drink. If your drink is immediately being filled as soon as you see the dispenser, you may be a wizard.
But to justify reasons to not be educated, especially something as reading a sign is both hilarious and horrifying to know, because I always knew they were around, I’ve just never met one until now.
