I’m going to make a 6-pack of pre-packaged Moscow Mules where one can has like 2000mg of caffeine in it and call it Russian Roulette.
Moscow mules
white Russian was right there. No? Too sweet?
Kahlua already has caffeine in it. It seems more apt to be putting a fuck ton of caffeine in something that normally has none lol
- Brew Coffee with energy drink or panera lemonade instead of water
- turn into kahlua
- Blitzkrieg White Russian
If you wanna get real fucky about it I’m sure you could feed some cows so much caffeine it turns up in the milk
Back in my day we called that 4loko
4loko had a normal amount of caffeine. This one’s gotta start heart palpitations after the first sip.
I saw some type of alcoholic drink made by monster yesterday. These are truly the last days.
Those aren’t caffeinated 😟
Inside of me there are two wolves - the personal responsibility neoliberal who is annoyed that people don’t read the warnings and kill themselves, and the social responsibility communist that understands that it’s ridiculous to expect everyone to make an informed decision before doing seemingly trivial things. The communist wolf is beating the shit out of the neoliberal one, don’t worry.
Hey this is not a conflict at all , “Personal responibility” is complettly compatible with communism ,… have you ever heard of "the Wall " ?
actually the only reason that was justifiable was because the ruling class will only give up power by force
na
“obligation” - check out this word , its not big in Angloida Culture , but its important. there are certain “obligations” you have to fullfill … and when you dont … you lose “coverage” only the fullfillment of “obligation” comits the other party to fullfill its “obligation” as well. A Contract commits both Parties … Dont break it.
I disagree some obligations you are still bound by whatever the other party does. To give a microcosm argument if your wife cheats on you it’s still wrong to beat her up.
Killing the romanovs was for the russians a sad necessity as otherwise they would have been weaponised and it was still a great wrong Nicholas and his wife less so but the kids that was actually wrong. It would have been far better to go the Puyi route or raise the children anonymously or something
"§ 241 Para. 1 BGB describes the performance obligations:
By virtue of the obligation, the creditor is entitled to demand performance from the debtor. The performance can also consist of an omission. "
in this case the Injured Party choose “omission” and you may have noticed , it worked very well , the Tsars have not violated any Obligation ever since.
that’s the most German argument I’ve ever seen first off so congrats
German law is not morality. Your obligations are much deeper in truth than that law says
Your obligations are much deeper in truth than that law says
Exactly ! 👇
No! Not that kind of personal responsibility!
wolf is beating the shit out of
wolf punching and kicking
“The Lemonade that kills people” is genius marketing.
My mug filled with the lemonade that kills people has a lot of people asking questions already answered by the mug
Right? I didn’t even know Panera had a caffeinated lemonade until it started killing people. Now I want.
i saw legal eagle’s video, and then 2-3 posts about it here and i’m starting to get that insidious reinforcement. Starting to think about how long it’s been since i had over-priced soup in an over-priced breadbowl.
Wild that companies will just sell food that straight up kills people
But libertarians said the market would regulate itself. People have stopped buying the deadly lemonade right?
Right?
I have actually read arguments made before the laws on food safety that unsafe food is good actually because the market trends towards replacing flour with sawdust because it’s cheaper and poisoning everyone is good if the market said to
Um ackshually sawdust is perfectly edible
it’s not actually. It’s like eating cotton
It’s just extra fiber, it passes right through you
cigarette companies: you don’t even get to eat itI thought the lemonade was complimentary since it was a self serve station.
oh that’s all right then
Worry not, friends, it s not like there’s a pandemic raging uncontrolled that makes people more susceptible to heart failure!
Hmm, what’s that? THERE’S A WHAT?!?!?!
Don’t worry, the census is redefining disability so we can’t see the trends caused by the pandemic. Mission accomplished!
but in all seriousness it would be fine if they just labeled this better, but it is advertised as much caffeine as coffee. but 390 mg for 30-oz is actually much less than coffee. sorry to be a downer, its very fun to say “the lemonade that kills people”. they should also take away free refills and not let people serve themself.
The caffeine in coffee has a much lower bioavailability than in energy drinks like this though. Most of the caffeine is locked behind the crll walls in coffee and tea, and oir body has a lot if trouble accessing it. Energy drinks have pure caffeine added into them and it is much more readily available for our bodies to absorb.
To think of it another way, a typical joint with about a gram of marijuana has about 120-200mg of thc in it. Taking that much thc in an edible would absolutely blast you to the moon, but smoking just gets you regularly high.
ok intresting! that tracks but what is “pure caffeine”? because i saw it called green coffee extract, like what they have at starbucks. is this a marketing term for pure caffeine?
edit. yeah googling and im not sure its the same type of caffeine as in energy drinks. do you mean synthetic caffine? when you say pure caffeine? really trying to learn more. becaue just looking online it says that synthetic caffine is the one your body absorbs faster and this is not synthetic caffine. so the lemonade still may be in the clear lol.
Pure caffeine was pure wording on my part. “More refined” is what i should have said instead. Coffee and green tea extracts get mashed up and boiled, same as when we use them for regular coffee or tea, but then they will use a series of solvents to further break down the cell walls and further extract the caffeine.
very cool!
i don’t think there would be a chemical difference between synthetic & extracted caffeine. as near as i can tell “green coffee extract” is homeopath for the byproduct of water treated (possibly other methods) decaffination.
however the bioavailability stuff i can’t verify, seems like we’re doing our best to penetrate those cell walls with coffee/tea preparation, lol.
All I have is anecdote, but a 16oz monster doesn’t get me any more wired than the ~18g of coffee beans in my morning cup. Caffeine estimates for my beans sits at about 144mg vs 140mg in a monster.
i’ve never really noticed any significant differences either. maybe bioavailability isn’t the correct term for looking this up but i can’t find any studies comparing ingestion methods vs. effects
It’s more caffeine than you get from an equal volume of Red Bull. Dunno what coffee you’re drinking.
just black coffee lol. 20-ounce light roast at panera has 384 mg of caffeine and thats ten oz less. edit, like what do you even mean what coffee are you drinking. any coffee literally any cup off coffee???
The 390 mg one is also the large. The regular clocks in at 260 I believe, which (while objectively not a small amount) is far more within the realms of sanity. Just don’t go all Murica with the sizing and it shouldn’t really be much of a concern.
The 390 is to skirt the FDA recommendation of 400mg per day while allowing a reasonable margin of error.
Unfortunately self serve fountains don’t really imply “q per customer” so it was pointless.
Pink Sauce
Oh I forgot about that one
TikTok-based botulism, amazing
It was people doing zero research or testing and just making shit up.
It didn’t secretly use egg or milk to thicken, dragonfruit contains pectin.
Chef Pii doesn’t seem like a good person and early batches had packaging issues poorly and errors in the nutrition facts, but there’s no evidence it was dangerous.
When asked whether her product was approved by the Food and Drug Administration, she stated that her product is not a “medical product”, causing further backlash from commenters who noted that the Food and Drug Administration is responsible for regulating food alongside drugs
This got me lmao
-------- edit ---------
Other highlights:
One TikTok user faked their death after consuming Pink Sauce as a “social experiment to see how quickly other people could spread misinformation”
.
As of December 5th 2023, her GoFundMe is at $25,459 out of the $100,000 required, $24,240 of which came from a single donor.
I’m torn between “why are they putting caffeine in lemonade” and “I’ll take 2 please”
This lemonade is the final ingredient to my Kahlua + 4loko based cocktail that I’ve been inventing.
I call it the Heart Palpatini.
It’ll be drank by line cooks in 45°C kitchens everywhere. Which means it’ll be consumed along with lines of cocaine in the walk in cool room.
heart palpatini
Having all those circumstances together would be wild. You’d immediately turn to stone like you were making bedroom eyes at Medusa.
Gotta have a little something to wash down the drip, ya know?

If we start regulating uppers in drinks, I’ll never get to taste the proper coke
It’s wild to think some confederate fuckface invented Alcohol/Cocaine Soda in the 1800s because he wanted a nice relaxing beverage to drink outside in the Southern heat while weening himself off of morphine lol

NGL that might make an awful hot and humid August day without A/C more bearable.
The bigger question, in my view, is why should Americans rely on a law firm, and the eventual decisions of a judge and jury in Delaware to decide what will effectively be a national standard for caffeinated lemonade? The answer is that the United States’ regulatory bodies are far too feeble to sufficiently protect the public against hazardous products, and so they essentially outsource this task to consumers and the lawyers who represent them. In peer nations—like, for instance, the United Kingdom—the government imposes strict and consistent regulations on the front end: It requires warning labels on drinks with more than 150 mg of caffeine and bans the sale of these drinks to children under 16. In the U.S., by contrast, the FDA barely regulates caffeine: It does not require manufacturers to include caffeine on the ingredient list of many caffeinated beverages, let alone disclose the amount of caffeine on the label. Nor does the U.S. government bar any consumers from buying ultra-caffeinated products, mandate an explicit warning label, or monitor advertisements. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/12/panera-charged-lemonade-that-kills-you-lawsuit-facts.html
having caffeine labels on products would blow my mind. i didn’t even think about it until seeing this, but of course slightly-more-normal countries provide labels because it’s a profoundly powerful drug. i have been steadily weaning myself down over the last decade–i used to be a complete freakshow–and it’s not easy given how prevalent it is and how we have to look shit up online to know how much is in something. i would say i’m somewhere between 50-75 mg / day, with the occasional jump up to 150 mg which feels “intense”. i can absolutely have days under 40 mg or even 0 mg and not get a headache or anything… but i will really want to siesta in the afternoon lol. and now i really appreciate the perk of a cup of green tea or even black tea if i’m feeling daring.
one of these lemonades would fuck me up lmao.
Maybe if our economy didn’t normalize stimulants (as a function of maximum productivity output) this wouldn’t be a problem
I read a post here that resonated with me. Apparently one of the Chapo hosts (Chapo?) said “stimulants make you evil”
I don’t do coffee or soda and I seldom have tea tea and often do the herbal stuff. It seems like one of those things where eventually you need it to feel normal
Colonization of the Americas pretty much doubled in awfulness once the upper class started loving tobacco. It’s crazy how many atrocities were committed over coffee and cigs.
this shit absolutely needs to be regulated, but i won’t act like the yuzu citrus flavor wasn’t delicious and didn’t have me wired all day.
You can’t stop me from eating a handful of Pepper X. I will die in dignity

Wait, is this why I’m seeing lemon emojis everywhere?
-
“I can’t believe the raging antisemitism of tankies”
-
“🍋 yourself”
🍋 yourself and everyone around you.
It’s a real 🍋 party
smdh all I ask for every year is a lemon party on my birthday but nobody brings any
The 🍋 were all stolen by 🍋-stealing whores.
