Bumping this as appropriate to the thread. While there’s no discussion of the wrong doing or responsibility, Panera is dropping charged lemonade from it’s menu.

ETA - there is a current discussion in the “A fear Panera is Doomed” [thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-fear-panera-is-doomed/1000880) regarding the business decisions about the products and general management of the company to head off any hijacks of this thread, I just wanted to make a note HERE that the beverage itself and the future risks thereof will be gone.
