Scientist develops caffeinated doughnuts
Posted 1/26/2007 7:51 AM

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.

1. Aw, shoot, they could have added caffeine at any time

because you don't get that bitter taste with small doses.

Those things might be OK for those of us who hate coffee or who can't have liquids anywhere near their desks. All we'd have to do is take a few bites of doughnut to last until the next break.

. . . I'd bet that if blood levels of caffeine were checked at accident scenes, you'd find some very interesting numbers.
