| 0:20.6 | heart condition went |
| 0:21.8 | into cardiac arrest and died after drinking a chain restaurant's then-new charged lemonade. The victim |
| 0:27.3 | consuming the beverage without knowing its extremely high caffeine content. On October 9th, |
| 0:32.8 | 2023, a 46-year-old grocery worker with an intellectual disability passed away while walking home after |
| 0:38.5 | also consuming a charged lemonade. Family members speculated that he, too, was unaware of its |
