Except Panera’s not even in the same league when it comes to completely unnecessary deaths… religion/ church has millennia & millions up on Panera.
We live in a society

Panera's doing their best! It's hard to compete when the other guy has a head start that spans basically all of recorded history
GBU_28@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Let them cook

I’ve heard Panera will be heavily marketing their lemonade in the Mediterranean region later this year. They are shopping the name around, but so far they are calling it:

Hi there, just dropping in to say that caffeine is more dangerous than cannabis
flies away
xintrik@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Meth is more dangerous than caffeine
shoots away
Sarmyth@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
LOL, definitely not, but I remember the 90s as well when every stoner wouldn’t shut up about weed bringing anti carcinogenic. Weed kills people beside the user. It’s still hugely safe, but bad decision-making under the influence of weed has probably killed more people than caffeine. You could argue the caffeine didn’t kill them. Their other health condition did. The same way we could argue weed didn’t kill anyone, but the drug trade did.
EatYouWell@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The weed drug trade only exists because of the legal status of weed. Nixon is ultimately responsible for everyone killed because of it.
Lifebandit666@feddit.uk 1 year ago
Depends if you factor in all the decisions that people have made using caffeine to keep them awake, that they wouldn’t have made if they had just gone back to bed.
But you won’t be counting them because it fucks your arguement, despite using it for weed.
banneryear1868@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah pretty much, hard to compare them because they cause problems in different ways. Under 100 deaths per year for caffeine overdose, cannabis is associated with more fatalities but not in a causal way. Caffeine isn’t a workplace safety issue and doesn’t harm judgement, cannabis has very measurable negative effects on cognition. Cannabis is, by no virtue of itself, associated with violence that comes with the black market.

You know what? That death lemonade isnt going to rape your kid so it is still better than church.
TheJims@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Ok but I’m still not going to church
Erasmus@lemmy.world 1 year ago
How many people have died because of organized religion vs. Panera charged lemonade.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 year ago
The entire world+ vs like, 3?
Fwoggey@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Hard to say since the former is still a running number
Johanno@feddit.de 1 year ago
Yes
cosmicrose@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I get a tasty lemonade, AND I get to die??? Sign me up!!
Cqrd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
I haven’t tried it, but I heard it’s not actually that great
afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I kinda want to try it and if I live go on and on about how that makes me invincible
OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 1 year ago
As long as each lemonade is tasty/3 or better, OP is still golden
jaschen@lemm.ee 1 year ago
To be fair, the church had killed more people than literally anything.
Skipper_the_Eyechild@lemmings.world 1 year ago
Mosquitoes would probably beat them, but they’ve had a hefty head start. The church are aware of this, of course, which is why they double down on the paedophilia to catch up.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
How about neither?
Wogi@lemmy.world 1 year ago
No no, let’s hear the lemonade out
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Okay, but if Panera starts playing bad rock songs in praise of their lemonade, I’m leaving.
son_named_bort@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I don’t blame people for not going to church. They don’t even give you wine anymore, just grape juice. Jesus drank wine, why can’t I?
Baphomet_The_Blasphemer@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I thought Jesus was wine or something like that? I’ve never participated in Christianity’s cannibalistic rituals though, so I’m sure I’m a bit confused.
funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
the wine only becomes Jesus’ blood in your tummy unless you have an operation or autopsy then it turns back into wine just in the nick of time, apparently.
HowdWeGetHereAnyways@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s only cannibalism if you believe you are the same as God.
Arise, God-drinkers.
0ops@lemm.ee 1 year ago
For mormons it’s just water :(
vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Mormons had to mix mayonnaise into their ketchup when it first got introduced to Utah, because ketchup was too spicy. Mormons are bitches.
SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 1 year ago
Jesus tasted the private jet life and doesn’t visit pastors without one anymore, so they need to save up for one, hence the budget cuts in your wine.
norgur@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
So I either have to die from needlessly over caffeinated soft drinks or deliver my own son to a molestation orgy club? What fucked up kind of choice is that?!
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 year ago
To be fair though, church is many times more deadly and 0% delicious 🤷
Fraylor@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Oh they can be delicious alright…
Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 year ago
Fuck knows what church has got to do with anything.
byroon@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I must be out of the loop. What’s church?
Socsa@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Don’t threaten me with a good time Panera
NegativeInf@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Right? The suicide coaster of beverages.
Kedly@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I’m surprised this is only 3rd from the top. Half joking about wanting death is like 3 generations deep at this point xD
Steve@startrek.website 1 year ago
Random caffeine overdoses are preferable to repeated genocide…
ComicalMayhem@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Wait what
The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 1 year ago
Panera has been selling some sort of lemonade with a ton of caffeine, and there have been a couple of news stories recently about it killing people.
It sounds like people aren’t aware that “charged lemonade” has caffeine at all when they order it. Or maybe they realize it but aren’t expecting 260-390mg.
rug_burn@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Holy fuck where has this lemonade been my whole life???!?!?!
If you never see me post again, tell my mom I loved her!
WashedOver@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Fck. That seems like it’s way more than your typical energy drink that’s off the charts too.
I would love to know how that product development meeting went. “Hey people, we have this idea, think lemonade and coffee, but like 10 cups of coffee in a single lemonade.
It’s like being kicked in the chest by a horse. It could kill some people and open us up to litigation, but man are the sales going to be way up there too!”
Zoidsberg@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
For context, the energy drink sitting next to me has 160mg of caffeine.
RTRedreovic@feddit.ch 1 year ago
For anyone concerned about their beverages. Following is a table of Recommended maximum daily intake of caffeine according to different age groups & categories: www.canada.ca/en/…/caffeine-foods.html
FDA’s recommendations: fda.gov/…/spilling-beans-how-much-caffeine-too-mu…
For measure: 8 oz (227 g) of Coffee has 80-100 mg of caffeine or 35-45 mg of Caffeine per 100 g of Coffee. (Average, numbers may vary accordingly.)
Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
I think at least one case where a death occured they had like 3 or 4 of them
Alivrah@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Goddamn, that’s a lot of caffeine on a lemonade, wth
banneryear1868@lemmy.world 1 year ago
There was a coffee shop in Canada apparently selling an off-menu “nurse special” or something like that, was like 8 espresso shots or something ridiculous meant to be consumed over the course of a 12 hour shift. Caused some issues with people but seems like the article disappeared.
wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I heard about some problem with caffeine, but didn’t hear about it being about Panera. Jeebus crissmas that is actually nuts.
EatYouWell@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The caffeine content was literally listed on the drink’s nametag taking up like 1/4 of the tag.
One of the guys who died drank 90oz of the stuff and had known blood pressure issues. Panera isn’t at fault here.
GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 1 year ago

Sendpicsofsandwiches@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
I’LL TAKE 5
rug_burn@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Reminds me of this, and why you can’t easily get powdered caffeine anymore;
JoShmoe@ani.social 1 year ago
In reddit people shitpost on shitpost subs. In lemmy, shit posters try to sound smart on shitpost subs. There I go again
