Food Caffeine-laced Doughnuts?

Posted by Lance Chess on Fri, Jan 26 at 5:08 PM

I found this article on LiveScience.com curious. I’m pretty sure Voodoo Doughnut already makes & sells these:

Still sleepy after your first three double espressos? Try eating your way to wired. Caffeinated doughnuts could be the next new thing in nutriceutical fast-food to hit your drive-through or walk-up breakfast stop.

Each pastry, or bagel if you were to prefer this caffeine-delivery system, would contain a jolt worth one to two cups of coffee, thanks to years of experiments and brainstorms performed by molecular biologist Robert Bohannon.

Voodoo dudes, what gives? You’re not going to let a molecular scientist steal your thunder are you? I smell a doughnut fight.

Comments

At least now we know what molecular biologists spend years experimenting and brainstorming about.

This is a beat cop's dream come true. A single-handed solution. Kudos to the molecular biologists!

Ahh, but it was VD's now extinct 'Nyquil Donut' that really rocked. mmmm. zzzz.
