Matt Rife Is Beefing With Children | Sad Boyz

Actually the McDonald's lady: she was sitting in a parked car in the PASSENGER SEAT. She took the lid off to put in sugar/creamer and it spilled on her. The coffee was so hot she got 3rd degree burns on her crotch and thighs and is now PERMANENTLY disfigured. The icing on the cake is that it was completely McDonald's fault because they heated the coffee machine up on purpose!

[@rileybaker9224]

yes exactly!!! and they specifically brewed it so much hotter than industry standard so that it would last longer and they wouldn’t have to dump it out and make a new pot as often. all that just to save a couple bucks

Yeah coffee is (often) supposed to be hot but it should never be boiling hot. Adam Ruins Everything did a good segment on it and Legal Eagle has a great video on it if anyone wants more information. She wasn’t the first person to be burned by the coffee, just by far the worst case. There’s pictures of her injuries and…. my god…. something you’re supposed to drink should not be injuring anyone that severely! Nothing meant to be ingested should be causing you to need skin grafts if it touches your skin. I mean…. my god…. what if instead of it spilling and burning her legs she’d taken a drink from it and burned her throat and all that?! 😱

oh god, Jarvis's story about the Racism Barber reminds me of the last time I got a piercing. I was sat there with this guy about to shove a needle in my ear, and, well, he clocks that I'm trans, as the name on my credit card and my face don't particularly match (and they make you pay before you get the piercing) and just starts going on about his childhood friend who's also trans and asked him to stop dead naming them. This was for an industrial bar piercing, meaning basically 2 at once, y'know, so he jabs the needle through the first hole. and then starts yammering about how people are too sensitive and "I knew you by this name for like 20 years I'm not gonna start calling you a new name you made up, fuck off haha" with the needle just fuckin, dangling in my ear. and I'm like haha yeah that's definitely a rough adjustment, my family had a hard time, took them a year haha. Kind of hoping to gently coax him into realizing of his own accord that hes being a dick. But he doubles down and keeps making such WEIRD transphobic jokes. He was good at piercing, my industrial is all healed and pretty now, but man, what a weird experience. I didn't want to piss him off and end up with a bad piercing LOL. Never went back there, either. Gotta love Florida!

[@justalostlocal]

Yeah, totally understandable. A needle in your ear and near eyes and other sh*t is not fun. Nobody wants permanent injury bc of a triggered transphobe. I find it funny that "a name they made up" is a disqualifier to this dude when all names are made up. An adult choosing their name is arguably more personally meaningful then their parents making that decision for them. Even outside of trans existence, not respecting such a personal aspect of a friend shows me how much of a d*ck nugget that piercer is. Hope that trans person stop being around such a "friend" for their sake. God, how could someone lack the most basic of self reflection.

[@KestrelDC]

So bizarre people feel other people’s names need to be “fair” to them. My friend who isn’t even trans recently started going by a new name because of some kind of negative connections to the old one and we’ve all just started using the new name and don’t pry about the exact reasons. My mom also goes by her first and middle name together and hates being called just her first name. And my legal name is Margaret but as a kid I was called Maisie (nickname for Margaret) and eventually decided to use the Margaret name other than with family and other particular people and while I don’t necessarily want everyone calling me Maisie I consider both names to be my names. But people tend not to bat an eye at stuff like that. No one’s phased by that (except I guess that one mom that was freaking out about her son Andrew starting to go by Andy lmfao). But when it’s a trans person, suddenly calling them their new names is some ridiculous Herculean task. It’s ridiculous.

[@alpacafish1269]

My real name is Evera (Pronounced as it looks) and I'm thinking of using another name for other people to refer me as since *surprisingly* people find it difficult to pronounce my name and also it's often time butchered, especially if a person has an strong accent (not their fault. i know).

[@MatthewDawson-ym4gp]

As a Panera employee, I can provide some updates on the lemonade situation. The bubblers that hold the drinks do have signs that state the accurate caffeine content, but the signs also say that they contain "the same amount of caffeine as our dark roast coffee". That statement does not account for the much larger sizes the charged lemonades come in compared to the coffee. Also, the bubblers are now mandated to be placed behind the counter so that only employees can fill them. Customers can't read the caffeine content from a distance because the text is so small, AND Panera has since changed the signs so that they now assume that the drink has ice. Most customers either ask for no ice or "very little", so they will consume more caffeine than is advertised.

[@jshowao]

At some point, people have to be intelligent enough to know that more volume of a drink = more caffeine on the drink It makes you wonder why all coffee isnt regulated as, per oz, the amount caffeine in coffee is roughly equivalent to the lemonade.

[@melissaluddy5136]

I do think it's unclear when they say "This drink contains as much caffeine as our dark roast coffee". Because what it implies on it's surface is "A default size of this lemonade contains the same total caffeine as a default-size coffee" but what they actually mean is "this liquid, ounce for ounce, has the same caffeine content as the same amount of coffee, which is an amount few people would drink at all at once, because of the caffeine content." which is so unclear that it feels deliberately misleading.

[@vlad5042]

@@jshowaoi think it just comes down to the fact that basically no one would knowingly drink that much coffee. id be curious to see what would happen if someone did order a coffee of that size and the barista gave it to them and then smth bad happened, seems like it would be crazier to try and hold them to account for that bc its such common knowledge that coffee has a lot of caffeine.

As a Panera employee it’s honestly very strange to hear people talking about the charged lemonades. We’ve had these drinks for nearly two years now, I’m incredibly surprised that there haven’t been any major issues earlier. Also I’ve gotten far more information about the goings on from an unofficial subreddit than from our actual company. Edit: about the warnings that have been posted, yes it was company mandated but they essentially sent every cafe a pdf document to print out and post around the restaurant on their own. Our location initially had a couple posted next to the bubblers but ended up soaked before the end of the day. Idk if it was mandated or not, but we also moved the units with the chargers to the back so customers have to specifically ask for them. Also yeah the orange is nasty no one likes it

It's wild how employees at a company are always the last to know about issues they should know about. A friend of mine works at Intel. An employee came to work with a gun and shot only himself.

I got the unlimited sip club membership for 3 months free this summer. I got the offer in app right as I started a big girl job (summer internship) at an office building that had a Panera next to it. So I’d go at lunch and after work and get free large strawberry mint lemonades. For years, I used to always get their teas that they had out in the open but since they replaced the teas with lemonades, I had no clue they were more caffeinated than the teas. I realized I had the worst migraines when I got home and felt sick a lot. I assumed it was due to the sugar and some mental stress. Looking back, I of course know it was the caffeine. I am a smart person- I have studied Panera in school, been a fan of them for over 10 years (friends had their 10th bday party there!) but had absolutely no clue about the caffeine content. It wasn’t listed anywhere I could notice. the worst part to me about the lack of transparency is that they switched their fruit teas out with this, making it seem like it was a harmless tea like lemonade. Also I don’t personally associate charged with caffeine, so people calling others dumb for not knowing feels silly

One charged lemonade is ~3.5 redbulls that means that girl had the equivalent to FOURTEEN REDBULLS!! Also it doesn't help that the "Charged Lemonade" on the signs of the jugs is graphically designed in such a way that the eye can easily glaze over it. Especially if its with the normal drinks it's very easy to just think "Oh, mango lemonade sounds good, I'll have some of that!" I have been going to Panera since I was a child and the Non-Caffeinated lemonades were in those same containers when I was growing up. If someone mistakes it for one of those then what? People lacking sympathy and saying "They should have known" "they should have read the miniscule sign" are neglecting to realize that people don't read. Anyone who has ever worked in retail and food service can tell you that people don't read. It's not enough. And I can say first hand, even as someone who has KNOWN about the charged lemonade and plans on never drinking it due to issues with caffeine, I almost got one with my fountain drink. Because I thought it was a normal flavored lemonade and I wasn't paying attention.

@@lanceelliott2504 so true, no place should sell something that can kill you with only one or a couple of them in an order. Most fast food and shit is killing people long term, but that’s a whole different issue. Someone with a heart problem shouldn’t have to suffer dying or something if they accidentally get the wrong drink 😬

[@katc2040]

​@Kingbimmy right?? Everyone saying " they should've known" what if they had a Doordash order, or a catering for work, or someone got them a drink, they would have no idea. And neither would the person getting the drink, they certainly wouldn't be thinking oh if it is caffine it's dangerous

[@Jordan-nw4sj]

I was pregnant and almost had one- I asked the employee what made it charged and they said the caffeine. That was after I had already glazed over the signage and didn't notice any warnings. I'm VERY careful about what I consume while pregnant and even i almost made that mistake. I

[@gabapentin.getaway]

i used to be in the sip club and i knew they were caffeinated but i didn’t know how much caffeine they had. i would drink 2-3 large daily. i’m a university student, and the sip club seems pretty popular among students. when i was getting them (even as recently as august) they were out on the counter, no sign, no restriction. i would mix the flavors together and i know other ppl that did as well. i realized it was rlly screwing with my health/mental health so i unsubscribed from the club.

on jarvis being eloquent; i notice in a lot of eps how considerate jarvis is abt how his words r construed & how what he’s saying could affect people of different backgrounds or viewpoints, and i have adhd & can totally differentiate how well spoken he is from regular the wariness abt what you’re saying that sometimes comes with adhd. they’re both really great public speakers n it sucks to see them not fully recognize how talented they are

[@choosehappy9224]

It doesn't sit right with me that lots of people online are saying the blame lies totally on the mom. I agree her child shouldn't be posted online but c'mon. Matt still chose to respond that way and idk how you can see it as anything other than weirdo behavior lmao.

Of course it's not totally on the mom. But some is definitely on her. Her kid is FIVE, he shouldn't even know what Instagram is, never mind be on it for strangers to talk to any way they want.

As an ADHDer my perspective might be a little affected by the fact that my brain just clicks with the way you guys think, but i genuinely think you are both very eloquent. Like I've ALSO been told the same and been like genuinely wtf how do you think that i lose the plot of my sentences constantly. But like i think its so hard for us to accept it because I think we are so aware of that that our pauses at this point sound like measured and thoughtful and what seems so THERE from the ADHD frenzy happening in our brains just isn't reflected on the outside. Like we have so much practice and we're trying so so hard to compensate for it that we end up coming off really eloquent. Also like we're constantly analyzing our brains so we just know ourselves so well that when we talk to others we sound so self aware and I've noticed that seeming self aware makes a huge impact on whether someone thinks you're eloquent. Its so weird but I guess after everyone says it enough maybe there's some truth to it. Idk but yeah glad to know im not the only ADHDer with this experience :)

[@firenzeval]

As a fellow adhd called eloquent: people like words. I can talk for forever without actually saying anything. Neurotypicals LOVE long words. Just having a nice vocabulary and a little enthusiasm makes eloquence apparently. Especially when talking about a more "sophisticated" or "scientific" fixation

[@alpacafish1269]

lol SAME. I almost never finish my sentences properly and have constant pauses when talking. Like, our brains are in a constant frenzy. One person said something, that I agree on, is that the ADHD mind often times is accumulating/ processing information + thoughts at a RAPID pace and thus the constant pauses, memory blocks, subject skipping etc. Which to me makes SO much sense. I always feel like my thoughts are leaving and going so quickly that I can't even properly recall on WHAT THE ACTUAL THOUGHT I HAD *WAS.* So whenever I see people who have that ability to verbally express themselves so adequately/ eloquently, I get soooooo fuggin jealous. And you're so right on saying that us ADHDers have a hard time accepting that we could do or be the exact same since we're constantly analyzing our brains. Like, I literally have gotten the "You express yourself so nicely" before and let me tell you not once could I properly believe that compliment. lol ADHD is *hard.* 😔

[@fiatsoumbos829]

As a former Starbucks employee, this Panera shit is outrageous. We legally couldn't sell a venti nitro cold brew because of the dangerous amount of caffeine. I don't think it exceeded the daily limit, but I do see why a single drink needs to have a limit as well, in case people pound them back to back while working.

[@satellite991]

it's worth mentioning that BOTH of the ppl who died from the panera charged lemonades were incredibly, incredibly careful about their caffeine consumption; b/c they had chronic heart conditions. there's no way in hell the caffeine content was properly labeled, b/c TWO incredibly caffeine-aware ppl consumed enough to kill them. also, the other person who died was a teenager. a TEENAGER!!!! god this situation makes me so mad.

[@maddiegeier]

The fact the Panera lemonades also have like 80 grams of sugar is also insane. I know sodas in general have a lot but that sugar content definitely covers any possible caffeine taste

[@jbuckets9787]

[@tylersage8891]

The biggest issue with the panera lemonaide is that at 390 milligrams of caffeine for a large, it contains 40 more milligrams than the most caffeinated energy drink on the market. The alleged value of 260 mg for 20 fl oz equals 13 mg/oz. For reference, Red Bull has about 9.25 mg/oz, Monster has about 10 mg/oz, Bang energy about 18.75 mg/oz, and the most caffeinated drink on the market (Spike Hardcore) has almost 22 mg/oz.

[@ashcanaday5077]

i am a former sip club member. it rocked because i knew it was amped but I only knew that because my boyfriend told me about it up front. This summer (idk if its national but in our state at least) there was a 2 months free offer on sip club. I can only assume it's to get people addicted to caffeine without knowing.

[@evanhenninger4874]

My partner almost succumbed to the Panera lemonade because they drank 4 of them and found out about the caffeine content after the 4th

[@iamjustkiwi]

That's terrifying! Once when I was like 16 I took 3 200mg caffeine pills at once and felt like if I stopped moving my body was going to blow up, so I can't even imagine the higher dose they took PLUS the sugar heart rate increase on top.

[@teamarie123]

@@iamjustkiwiOne time while working an overnight shift on Black Friday I took a caffeine pill after having taken an ibuprofen which is just basically two forms of energy to the brain.

[@MatthewAbbottHighskies]

As someone with a heart condition, that charged lemonade is scary. My heart condition requires frequent liquid intake / eletrolytes. When I'm low, its an easy mistake to make if it's not clearly labeled. I could see "charged" being extra sour or double syrup

[@captainnemo7690]

It freaked me out too. Very small amounts of caffeine trigger hemiplegic migraines for me. There's no direct threat to my life, but I can be incapacitated and unable to speak and get around by myself for up to a week and a half. Caffeine is a drug. I'm not interested in policing whether others consume it, but it's not inert, and people need to know that it's present.

[@anrtheace]

its' really freeing to hear you both be so open about your mental health disorders, as someone with both adhd and bipolar disorder I find myself constantly feeling like achieving my dreams may not be possible or getting angry at myself for not being where I want to be in life and seeing you guys create what you have keeps me optimistic about my future

As someone who does not drink coffee because it gives me the shakes and quite bad anxiety… im not in the coffee scene and dont know any of the lingo. i didn’t even think to associate “charged” with meaning it had caffeine.

[@jadefaeriee]

I had the same experience with adderall and Vyvanse as well, unfortunately. It’s kind of scary how quickly a simple cup of coffee can make you feel like you’re going insane. I’ve also noticed that the combination of caffeine and adhd meds makes my tics worse, so that lemonade sounds like an ungodly twitchy nightmare

[@halbeehalbeehalbee]

@@horizonkyun7203typically it doesn’t affect people with adhd but if you take adhd meds and have caffeine it’s considered having two separate stimulants and that can cause raised heart rate, sweatiness, and for me personally so much anxiety. when i’m not taking meds tho caffeine doesn’t do anything to me

[@abbywolffe4114]

It's interesting hearing that other people on ADHD meds feel super weird after drinking charged lemonade/having a lot of caffeine, because it doesn't do a lot to me and I literally buy it as a stand-in for my meds if I run out for a day or two (this is not meant to be a brag, there's probably something wrong with me) Edit: Something else that occurred to me is that, assuming most people drink the lemonade with ice, you're probably more likely to refill it because the flavor gets diluted as the ice melts

As a Panera worker I used to bring an energy drink to work and then drink about 3 or 4 medium charged lemonades and then possibly another energy drink. When I found out just how much I was consuming and decided to stop drinking caffeine I was absolutely miserable but as a worker I realized how much of the stress and the Shakiness was caused by the caffeine and I never realized, and the lemonades are just like free for us, but I was 16 and didn’t realize how much damage I was doing to myself 41:58

Based on interviews the comedians he always says inspire him are from like 20+ years ago, and to him thats what sucess looks like, and he desperatley wants these older comedians to like him, even though said comedians have now fallen off and we are in a different world now. A world where Matt could surpass his idols in their current state, but he is so entrenched in these older male comics that would never even occur to him. So he mimics them to a tee in a way that is almost surreal.

i don't drink sugar or caffeine, but i love an orange soda so i started picking up diet orange soda from the supermarket. well, apparently, sunkist has caffeine even though no other major brand or local store brand of orange does and it was the only diet orange soda my local supermarket stocked. i had serious health issues for weeks that i, importantly, could not pin down to being caffeine related because i did not know i was consuming caffeine.

[@beansbeansbeans576]

In regards to the lemonade: I feel like it should be bottled. Then it could have the ingredients could be labeled and it couldn’t be refilled. Also for the unlimited sip club: it allows you to get “free” drink with your meal. I work in a building with a Panera and I can see how that would be smart for people who get coffee every day. There’s technically a limit on how many refills you get a day, but my Panera is so busy no one gives a shit

[@-desertpackrat]

39:40 exactly, it was way too hot, that's the reason she won too, it was abnormally hot even for someone who expects hot coffee. I spill coffee on myself all the time, right on my hands, right out of the pot or the cup at a cafe. But I've never actually been burned because coffee is not even really supposed to reach boiling, if it has you burn the coffee, it's not tea, tea is boiling water, coffee is below the point of boiling, and usually that doesn't cause very severe burns. If it's hot enough to burn, not only do you not know how to make coffee, but you've made it more dangerous than any normal cup of coffee. It's like ifnInirder eggnog and they put a toxic amount of nutmeg in it and I have to go to a doctor, you wouldn't go "well eggnog has nutmeg in it, what did you expect?" I expected 1 gram if nutmeg and got 1/2 a cup of it and it's a safety issue. So if I order a coffee that is typically brewed at 190°F and you give me a coffee that is 212° and it burns me worse than a regular temperature coffee would, you're liable.

[@kabutomoaki]

The lemonade thing is actually wild because you're right, caffeine in high amounts is absolutely deadly. With that much caffeine in it I'm not sure why it wasn't labeled more clearly. Usually a "charged" drink has as much as a soda, maybe a little more. The coffee shop near me has a really caffeinated cold brew and they won't even sell it in sizes above small. Obviously people who know that and want more can buy more than one, but it's just a safety precaution. That's unbelievable. I was actually nervous for the woman in the tik tok.

I knew that it was caffeinated at Panera but only because I ordered it once like 2 years ago at 5 pm and the kid working the drive-thru warned me. I didn't notice that it said "charged" on it, because I just saw that there was a lemonade and automatically ordered it. So.
