The "third degree burns all over her lap" doesn't even come to close to the horror that woman went through. The coffee was so hot it fused her labia together
@@danielorlovaquinnExactly. That poor woman was so publicly ridiculed that I vividly remember Whoopi Goldberg's old sitcom Whoopi actually ridiculed her in an episode.
I know this is partially a joke but i am 100% for telling people to sue over the smallest things. In high school, whenever someone was upset about something, my first response was “have you thought about suing?”
Panera also has a free refill membership, which is why many people could easily drink 3-4 of the charged lemonades. I work in drug testing and laws and regulations are often bathed in blood.
That’s too much caffeine period. Like ten milligrams off of the limit is too close. Company’s need to be held accountable. We have the power if we work together.
Also the majority of people will drink this after having already had a morning coffee, putting basically everyone who is used to caffeine over the limit, while also completely messing anyone up who doesn't drink a daily cup of coffee and will not be used to that amount of caffeine in their system
Basically when the lemonade was still kinda new, I'd mixed my lemonade with soda (because I rarely drink caffeine), and after only a couple sips of the _watered down drink_ , I was jittering the rest of the day it was so bad, and my heart was hammering. I remember saying that it could seriously harm someone after googling the amount of caffeine in it, and... well, here we are.
This literally did not happen. A couple of sips would not do cause you to have heart palpitations. You drank at most 10 MG of caffine in a couple of sips girl 😭
it fucked me up and i am still having my issue diagnosed. it scares me the amount of people like me who are undiagnosed and just go "oh god" every now and again when they feel something weird in their chest. this drink is what caused the episode that made me start pursuing appointments to diagnose my issue... but if it was my grandfather he would have died.
Too much caffeine makes me jittery and anxious-- I almost bought that lemonade bc I just saw yuzu and whatever flavor, and thought "that sounds good" but as I put my cup under the spout I then registered the caffeine content, and was like "good lord, I don't wanna die today"... 😅
I worked at Panera as a line worker for a year and I remember a moment where an unassuming mother was going to let one of their kids, who looked to be barely 9 years old, try those charged lemonades when they stopped by for a dinner rush. I was only able to warn them when I faintly heard the mother make a comment about it. A small cup of that stuff had more caffeine than a Redbull. I could only imagine what that kid might have gone through if he consumed it.
class action lawsuits are often evil. Whole classes of people owed thousands a piece paid pennies because lawyers settle for low amounts and take a huge percentage of the winnings.
People with vascular issues are also on the rise because covid is a vascular virus, this lawsuit is good and needed to protect everyone for the future.
They need to be held accountable for having a beverage which contains the maximum daily dose of caffeine, on tap. If they had it behind the counter, maybe not. But this was readily available with little to no warning.
There is no TH-camr I enjoy more than Robert. Jake Doolittle is a close second and saji sharma comes in at third, but nothing beats Robert tolppis dry humor and serious topics approached with calculated nuance. It’s like he’s found the perfect video formula. The perfect balance of humor and seriousness. He truly is the perfect TH-camr and I have so much respect for him and the work he does.
I've seen and read a lot of stuff about consumer lawsuits, and a lot of it boils down to this: if someone is telling you a story about a ridiculous lawsuit, ask what details they're leaving out. A great example is the time Ronald Regan campaigned on cracking down on frivolous lawsuits. He told a story about a guy who set a ladder up in a pile of cow poo, and when the ladder slipped, he sued the ladder company! How ridiculous! The thing is, he didn't sue because the ladder slipped. He sued because the ladder broke under his weight the first time he used it, and he got really hurt. And he didn't set it up in crap, he was on a farm and the defense tried to say he just slipped in cow poop and was trying to blame it on the ladder company, because you know how these country bumpkins are. And most of us know by now, it's not "old lady didn't know hot coffee was hot." It was "old lady needed skin grafts on her crotch because the coffee was so hot, and she wasn't the only one." I think we can all agree, we don't expect to need skin grafts if we spill ten ounces of coffee on ourselves.
I spilled their hot chocolate on myself when I was like 7 and I had literal blisters on my legs and I remember showering was like being tortured for a few days.
Coming from a country where we won't get justice even if we wanted, I wish we could file lawsuits like the Americans do, it will clean up a lot of rubbish we have to deal with daily
I was “tricked” into buying this a few months ago before the lawsuits were announced. Imagine my surprise when I purchased what I thought was a refreshing lemonade beverage and felt the powerful strength of Monster Energy on my tongue 🤣🤣. I was pissed, but I finished the drink. I was straight wired for the rest of the evening into the night, which I wasn’t mad at because I had work to get done. However, the advertisement and branding are definitely misleading. There was no indication that this is essentially an energy drink.
A lot of contracts contain arbitration agreements, meaning that you can't even sue in court if something goes wrong. You have to take it to arbitration, which tends to be much more in the company's favor.
Lawsuits help hold corporations and people accountable for doing evil shit. However, that's not something that should be enirely up to the common folk, that should also be the government's job. In my opinion it's not a problem that people are too quick to threaten with lawsuits, it's that US governments don't offer proper retaliation and protection. This leaves lawsuits as the only way of jurisdictionally protecting oneself
YES. My qualms about lawsuits is that poor people lose, even when they win. Half the time, they CAN'T win because they can't afford to pay their lawyers anymore. OR! If you're like my best friend, your lawyer just STEALS from you and takes almost fifteen times as much as they said they would in the contract, and she only has any chance of actually getting any of the money she won back because a DIFFERENT, NICER LAWYER is helping her for free!!!!!
I accidentally got the charged lemonade from Panera not knowing the caffeine content. It gave such bad anxiety as I am caffeine sensitive. Glad they include the caffeine content on the sign on the drink dispenser now. I just stick to a soda now.
They've always been good, people just used to be more loyal to brands and defended companies like friends. People are just more educated about how capitalism works now.
I support lawsuits Unless they’re nonsensical but these ones actually make sense like hello what if you have a seemingly innocent product That can somehow KILL YOU.
I go to UPenn and if I didn't know about Sarah's death I would have absolutely drank that lemonade (which would be dangerous for me as well, as I have an anxiety disorder and take meds that caffeine potentiates the effects of- I probably wouldn't die but would definitely have an awful time). There's several Wawas on campus that sell "Recharger" beverages that supposedly have caffeine in them but I can just barely feel any effect, so I'd expect the charged lemonade to be similar- not to mention that the average Penn student subsists on caffeine, and the average person doesn't think of caffeine as something that could kill them. When I was a freshman, I once drank two and a half cups of coffee and was wired out of my mind for three days. The fact that a LEMONADE has as much caffeine as *five cups of coffee* is INSANE and literally no reasonable person would expect that. It's not enough to have a warning label that states "this drink contains caffeine"- the caffeine dosages and their coffee-cup equivalents (because the average person doesn't know what caffeine dosages mean) need to be CLEARLY labeled in a way that customers will actually notice, or better yet, they need to reduce the caffeine content of the drink (none of this "accounting for ice" nonsense) because anyone who consumes that much caffeine in one shot is gonna have a bad time at the very least. I didn't know Sarah (she was in the same sorority as a friend of mine but I was on leave at the time of her death), but her death is the stuff of my hypochondriac nightmares- I've been to the ER multiple times fearing that I was experiencing cardiac arrest or stroke at a tender age, once with a heart rate of 160 from adverse medicinal interactions. She must have been so scared, and I'm trying not to cry at the thought. It's so scary and tragic that a seemingly innocuous mistake can end a beautiful, young, vibrant life. Rest in peace, fellow Quaker. I hope your family gets justice and that this is remedied before somebody else dies.
Frivolous lawsuit do exist, SLAPP suits are probably the most famous types but the prevalence of them is vastly exaggerated. There are definitely too many lawsuits however, like why does an insurance company require you to file a lawsuit in an injury claim like what was the case with the aunt who was forced to sue her nephew if she wanted her insurance. That should be settled without a lawsuit if there is no dispute there. Many things in the US are being handled through lawsuits that could be solved out of court and often is in other countries.
@@mustanggox always in moderation, probably a better idea to lay off of the charged lemonade though! And yeah, your dad probably shouldn’t have any of that. I know it’s not 100% but there’s a chance it can be more dangerous with heart issues. Wish you both good health though :)
I do think there's too many lawsuits in the US but that's because most of them are companies and rich people suing the poor and not the other way around 😊
It is too bad they are so caffinated, because they sound like tasty beverages. I wonder how Panera's sales are, I'm sure a lot of people are trying it out now.
You kinda look like what I thought the home alone kid was gonna look like grown up. Like if Macaulay Culkin didn't choose a path of dr*gs and instead committed to youtube & a bowl cut.
No hate, I didn't even watch the video. I just kept seeing your goofy ahh pop up in the "new to you" section & I swear I've hit "don't recommend this channel" several times.
The "third degree burns all over her lap" doesn't even come to close to the horror that woman went through. The coffee was so hot it fused her labia together

The US government and the way we make laws and regulations is largely reactive, not proactive. Lawsuits are absolutely essential!

People drink more than that at starbucks or from preworkouts every single day.
I suffer from heart palpitations. I’m SO glad that I skipped that lemonade. It truly wasn’t marked as being THAT high in caffeine.
