Here in the US, soda is expected to have caffeine (With a few exceptions like Sprite or Fanta Orange that are well known for their caffeine free drinks), so that argument makes little sense

Bumblefumble@lemm.ee 6 months agoThe difference is it was marketed as soda, not as a caffeinated drink, so it’s a little more nuanced than that. See Legal Eagle’s video on the topic, it’s quite a good breakdown of the situation.

The amount of caffeine in soda is negligible in comparison. Soda is not in the same class as energy drinks and coffee.

It had lemonade in its name, was next to all other soft drinks including lemonade and water , but contained more caffeine than a redbull and a monster energy drink combined. That is not what a regular consumer would expect.

They had the caffeine content listed on the name tag, and soda is expected to contain caffeine, especially one named the way this one is.
