Scientist Develops Caffeinated Baked Goods

Posted by Zonk on from the we-truly-live-in-an-age-of-wonders dept.

Zephyros writes "The AP is reporting on a scientist who has found a way to get caffeine into donuts, bagels, and other baked goods without the bitter flavor. Each piece has as much caffeine as two cups of coffee. No word on when or where they will be available, but for those of us that just don't get the same kick from the morning cuppa that we used to, this may be another tasty delivery vector to look forward to for that jump-start."

  1. Taste and smell of coffee by b0s0z0ku · · Score: 3, Insightful
    I for one like the way coffee tastes and smells. The bitter taste (I drink coffee w/o cream or sugar) is part of the thing that wakes me up in the morning!

  2. Why is caffeine not a drug in America? by LearnToSpell · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's a stimulant, right? Sometimes the war on drugs just makes me shake my head. We flip out about baseball players taking greenies, and then say "well, they can just drink coffee or Coke instead!" Truly bizarre.

    Anything Asian gets a pass, 'cause it's like "holistic" and "ancient."

    Still no cure for cancer.

    Why? Because that's hard.

    Good to know research money is well spent.

    Most of which goes to . . .cancer research. Outside of warfare perhaps the biggest money sink in human history. I know this might be hard to grasp, but spending money only implies spending money, not results. Throwing money into a hole just wastes your money.

    Money only buys labor and "stuff," not understanding.
