Scientist develops caffeinated doughnuts

DURHAM. N.C. - That cup of coffee just not getting it done anymore? How about a Buzz Donut or a Buzzed Bagel? That's what Doctor Robert Bohannon, a Durham, North Carolina, molecular scientist, has come up with. Bohannon says he's developed a way to add caffeine to baked goods, without the bitter taste of caffeine. Each piece of pastry is the equivalent of about two cups of coffee.

While the product is not on the market yet, Bohannon has approached some heavyweight companies, including Krispy Kreme, Dunkin' Donuts and Starbucks about carrying it.

given that caffeinated mints exist, i'm not entirely surprised at this culinary development.

And people couldn't just drink "hot chocolate", you know the tastier equivalent to coffee, instead of creating these "miraculous breakthroughs"? >.>

Just like the scientists who put forth money to find out that people who walk places instead of drive lose weight?
And about 4-5 years ago, found out that sugar prevents you from losing weight, yet my grandma's known about it since decades ago?

Caffeine also comes in pill form

Caffeine is for the weak!

Psh, caffeine doughnuts...why ruin a perfectly good doughnut?

If one needs to stay awake without drinking coffee, have some gum on hand...nice, heavily minted gum.  It works a little for me...I figure the principle is that if your muscles are working, even when chewing on something, it helps.

Haha, I'd also recommend Mountain Dew if the soda didn't go through you like crazy...     'Course, I'm still just a big kid.  I've never had coffee.

Well, I for one drink coffee, but not regularly, since I'm more for tea. If I really want to get going, I usually down a Red Bull or two. Of course, some might argue that tastes worse than just coffee, but... screw them. Red Bull and Jägermeister is the shit!

If you want to stay awake, I'd recommend tea, chronic crazy ideas and pushups. It's fun!

ANd slite not..The hotcoco is for the babies ja?

[GabrielsThoughts]

um...not to sound arrogant, but didn't they discover the method of placing cafine in baked goods when they developed chocolate doughnuts?

One problem.  As Bill Cosby found out, you can't have chocolate cake for breakfast.

Fried cake with butter and condensed sugar syrup though...

One, I hate donuts. The ones at Krispy Kreme give me a rash...

Two, if I need caffiene, I mix Coca Cola with RockStar. >.>

[Sirius Griffon]

Coke with Rockstar... *Giggles* Shall have to try that one day!

Personally, I agree with the hot chocolate idea... or lots of soda. Mmmm... soda. The tastier alternative to coffee.

Wouldnt it really not matter if the donuts had caffiene if the caffiene was tasteless though? o.O

[xHaZxMaTx]

I don't think caffeine dependence is a good thing, anyway.

[Melpomene]

Well, it probably isn't, HaZ, but... I doubt people really think about what's good for them anymore >.>

Coke with Rockstar... *Giggles* Shall have to try that one day!

It has a very serious buzz. Remeber; sip! It'll make you gag if you drink an average or more amount at a time. XD;

[Sirius Griffon]

Sadly no, but caffiene reeeeally helps if you have a 6 AM shift. And Ill have to remember that cause gaggingsounds no fun x-x;;;

[Valynth]

Phe, caffiene, I'm around caffiene so much that I can drink five energy drinks with almost no effects.  And caffiene was 60% of the mixture!  The another 35% was sugar.

Note:  this is based on actual data.

sometime go to your local grocer and find the water section. theres a product called 'water joe'. its water, with caffene in it. freaky innit? as if that werent enough i know of some people who buy this and use it to make thier coffee every morning, for that eeEeeEXXXtra perk in the morning.

if a pick me up is that critical just buy a bag of chocolate covered espresso beans and say goodbye to blinking for me.

also keep an eye out, next to the crystal light is a caffenated morning beverage mix of a variety of flavors, and there is now also gatorade AM to "replace the vital fluids lost when you sleep"

yeah, when zedd told me about the AM stuff and showed me a clip from conan obrien i just had to go out and buy some. its cheap, tasty, and i KNOW that many of you are already thinking a joke about the loss of fluids during sleep. its not my fault i get swetty at night.....
