Panera is Now Selling a Cup That Also Charges Your Phone

Is the Summer Slump for real? According to some folks, it is, as it describes the season where over 25% of workers feel a decline in productivity. Panera recognizes this and is helping folks get charged up by debuting a new cup that also doubles as a phone charger.

Panera has just unveiled the Charged Up Cup, which serves up their new Charged Lemonades and also is a portable phone charger.

Since it’s always annoying to be without some juice for your phone when it’s running low, you can get one for free by heading to https://panerachargedup.com/ and have it delivered on the Summer Solstice next week, which happens to be the longest day of the year.
