What is Panera charged lemonade?

The higher caffeine and sugar counts involve the same product without ice, according to Panera. Caffeine levels for a regular, 20-ounce serving also differ on Panera’s site, from 157 to 260 milligrams. For comparison, a cup of coffee has about 100 milligrams of caffeine.
Sarah Katz, a 21-year-old student at the University of Pennsylvania, died after drinking a Panera Charged Lemonade, “reasonably confident it was a traditional lemonade and/or electrolyte sports drink containing a reasonable amount of caffeine safe for her to drink,” according to a lawsuit filed last week by her parents.
