First, a latte is not comparable to a brewed coffee. Dunkin’s latte is above average at 250mg/20oz, but their Starbucks’ brewed coffee is actually substantially stronger, containing 410mg/20oz (!!!). Their blonde roast is sitting at 475mg/20oz.
Second, while Dunkin is above average in many regards, I wouldn’t call it particularly “extreme”. That terminology is a consequence of the objectives of the website. The figure you originally cited (95mg) is for a generic 8oz cup of coffee. Multiplying that by 2.5 yields 237.5mg/20oz, which isn’t all that much lower than Dunkin’s 270mg.
As you pointed out, energy drinks traditionally have a lower caffeine content than coffee. This is starting to change with newer offerings in the space, but I have no disagreement there.
Once again, the caffeine content of the lemonade isn’t the problem, but rather the insane number of reports of people buying it without knowing that it is caffeinated.
