– **Panera’s sky-high lemonade cost has sparked Internet memes galore**: Now, sugar, we all know anything that upsets the general public turns into meme gold faster than a hot biscuit disappears at my Sunday brunch, and Panera’s lemonade pricing gave folks plenty to chuckle about.
– **Country music celebrities join the fun**: A good joke’s like a campfire, darlin’, everyone wants to gather ’round. Even some of our most loved country music stars, including Carrie Underwood and Blake Shelton, had a field day poking fun on social media.
– **Some sparks of controversy flared up**: Much like my mama’s chili, some of these memes came with a little heat. A few folks felt that the jokes were insensitive to those who can’t afford high-priced lemonade. But honey, it’s safe to say most people saw the humor.
– **Panera planning a response redeemed through music**: Okay, y’all are gonna love this one. Panera, good sports that they are, declared they’ll respond with a country-themed commercial. Now, ain’t that just smoother than a fresh jar of molasses?

Country Stars & Internet Memes – A Refreshing Mix As Panera’s Lemonade
When Life Gives Panera Lemons, They Make Expensive Lemonade…And Laughs
Well, darlins’, I gotta tell y’all, if tears were dollars, I’d be richer than a Nashville producer reading this hoot of a story! Panera charging more for a lemonade than a small car’s worth, the whole internet making merry about it, and our country favorites joined in too!
Now, I’d reckon it’s a sour situation for Panera, having their lemonade on everyone’s lips for all the wrong reasons. But bless their hearts, they’re trying to sweeten things with a country tune commercial! Maybe they’ll hire Dolly Parton and call it ‘Jolene…Can You Spare A Dime for A Lemonade?’ or how about Blake Shelton singing ‘I Spent My Last Dollar on Your Lemonade, Panera’?
But, I swear on my grandma’s secret cornbread recipe, that if that lemonade ain’t got traces of Elvis Presley’s sweat or Willie Nelson’s charisma, then I’m gonna need to get myself a big, ol’ gulp of something stronger!
