FDA: the safe amount of caffeine an adult can have per day is 400mg
Panera: this lemonade has 390mg of caffeine in it
Average American: I don't speak metric, 3 lemonades pls

Why are soft drinks measured in metric in Yankistan?
Because everything here should be metric but amerikkka decided to be a special sjowflake to say fuck you to the civilized world
safety warnings being in a system of measurement the people being warned don't know is the issue.
Yes it's dumb America doesn't use metric but far more importantly it's dumb that it doesn't say on the drink that you can't safely drink 3 of them
Right but soft drinks (and apparently the CDC) measures caffeine in mg which goes against the usual imperial measurements, giving the average person even less frame of reference to how much they're ingesting
Fluid ounces. For reference, an average size bottle of beer holds 12 fluid ounces.
