What if she asked the cashier, “do you have lemonade?” And the cashier said, “yes.” And then she ordered a lemonade. If you went to a restaurant and ordered a lemonade would you expect it to have 390 mg of caffeine added to it?
Counter-point: It is the duty of the person to know what they are consuming, though, not the other way around. If we gave every customer at every restaurant a full encyclopedia of what, how, where etc everything that goes into their product, ‘fast food’ would serve like 50 customers a day.
People need to educate themselves, especially when things are going into their bodies. Same as stepping into a street blindly and assuming ‘this cannot possibly hurt me’.
I think that there are some items that have become rather established. I feel like I should be able to go to any restaurant in the English speaking world, order a BLT, and know exactly what I’m getting without having to look at a menu. If they handed me a bologna, leek, and turnip sandwich I’d be a little miffed.
From time immemorial lemonade has been lemons, sugar, and water. I just can’t blame someone for ordering a lemonade and expecting to get lemons, sugar, and water.
I want you to understand that I 100% get where you’re coming from though. Ultimately this will go to court and a jury will be presented all the evidence, which we may not have, and they’ll render a verdict.
