This is the dispenser. Most people don't know what milligrams are, let alone how many milligrams of caffeine are in coffee. They say these drinks have the same caffeine as a very strong coffee, but that's per volume, not per drink. One of these fucking things

is FOUR coffees. And they aren't hot, they go down easy. One of the people who died was in Florida. It was probably a hot humid day. You could have 3 of these iced drinks easy, which is what he did, and that's between 12 and 15 coffees. 12 and 15. No barista would hand you fifteen fucking coffees to drink all at once. If these drinks exist they need to be behind the counter and marketed more accurately.
FDA: the safe amount of caffeine an adult can have per day is 400mg
Panera: this lemonade has 390mg of caffeine in it
Average American: I don't speak metric, 3 lemonades pls

Why are soft drinks measured in metric in Yankistan?
Because everything here should be metric but amerikkka decided to be a special sjowflake to say fuck you to the civilized world
safety warnings being in a system of measurement the people being warned don't know is the issue.
Yes it's dumb America doesn't use metric but far more importantly it's dumb that it doesn't say on the drink that you can't safely drink 3 of them
