I’m a big Panera fan – I made a terrifying discovery about a popular drink after it made me ‘feel like the Hulk’
A CUSTOMER frequenting Panera bread has found a frightening secret about a popular drink sold by the chain.
It may be hiding in plain sight, but unless Panera fans have been looking into nutrition facts, this drink has an open secret that’s worth looking into.
“I have learned something that should be illegal,” Sarah Ebaus, @sarahebaus on TikTok angrily began her video.
She revealed that she does her remote work inside a Panera, because working home alone makes her want to “dig my own grave.”
Her problem lies with the Mango Yuzu Citrus Charged Lemonade.
“It has caffeine, and I knew that, but when I’m sitting there, I’ll drink four or five of these.
“And I was always like ‘man, when I work at Panera, I feel great! I feel awesome, I get so much done!
“My husband is a type 1 diabetic, so we were going through the drive through, because I wanted one.”
When her diabetic husband wanted one of Panera’s Charged Lemonades, “he went to look up the nutritional facts about the drink so that he could have some and then adjust his blood sugar.”
While “the regular size has 82…grams of sugar,” that isn’t even Sarah’s biggest gripe.
“Whatever, let’s push that aside,” she said.
“It has 260 milligrams of caffeine. An espresso, I looked it up, has 63 milligrams of caffeine. 63! For one shot of espresso.
“I don’t drink coffee. I don’t have caffeine very much, I thought! I drink a diet coke sometimes, but I don’t drink coffee. I’m not used to caffeine like that. And I feel like the Hulk, and I’m drinking these.
Sarah said she really likes the drinks, and has decided to water them down, but she still had this to say to the company via the video: “Panera! Whose gonna create a product that has 263 milligrams of caffeine. Look what you’re doing. I’m dying!”
Slyly, one comment on the video read, “Sponsored by heart palpitations,” with a content, smiling emoji.
However, because caffeine lovers have a lot of options and a strong influence, another comment read, “This was honestly the best advertisement FOR this lemonade (because) I was convinced it wouldnt have enough caffeine for me…”
