There are plenty of people out there – a majority, if I had to guess – who can’t seem to get their day started without caffeine. Starbucks is a natural hub for these addicts, but what if you’re running through the drive thru with a child or someone who, for some reason, doesn’t want caffeine?
Well, if you figured their signature refreshers were just the ticket, think again – and when this TikTok dropped, claiming all of the grande-size refreshers could contain around 45mg of caffeine, plenty of folks were shocked.

“I thought they were juice this whole time,” she says. “Like, Panera’s makes sense. They call it a ‘Charged Lemonade,’ that insinuates to my brain there’s caffeine in it. But Starbuck’s Refreshers – I did not know this whole time.”

Like this person, who just realized they’d been feeding their children caffeine.
