Scientist Develops Caffeinated Doughnuts
DURHAM. N.C. (AP) -- 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.

Go to Second Cup and get a latte and a treat and you're in for like $6 or more, it's ridiculous. |

Yeah exactly, I highly doubt starbucks would ever pick up a product like this. I've NEVER seen a doughnut being sold there, plus they would probably want rights to the pattern rather than sell a FATTIE WATTIE DOUGHNUT - they would want to bastardised it and put a FATTIE LATTIE MOCATTIE STARBUCKS PRODUCT.
Maybe if they made this into a timbit, I would be a full supporter. |

In the TV show "According to Jim", Cheryl does get drunk on liquor filled donuts. :toothless |

Seriously. 2 cups of coffee worth of caffeine in one donut. Consume 4 of those, and you go straight into the ER for caffeine overdose. |
