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.

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I don't think this is a good idea. I love coffee and caffeine but putting in doughnuts and bread is awfully unnatural. I might consider however using caffeinated water to make caffeinated coffee. I can't believe I haven't tried it yet.

It isn't, it would be something I would try just once. Since I am not a doughnut fan I have no desire to try it once. I am a fan of coffee and caffeine so I might try it just so I knew I had.

So I should inject a supermodel with caffeine? Sweet. Wait, they live on cocaine, cigarettes and diet pills now. Never mind.

Poor Vivarin. The college market is just about completely lost to them now. I mean, once you can get caffeine in powdered donuts, why do you need to pop pills anymore?

if i want my caffeine dry, I'll have the chocolate covered espresso beans. Bitter is part of the buzz!

I love my caffeine, and I love donuts, but I can't stand coffee. Mountain Dew and donuts don't go well together, but caffeinated donuts and a tall glass of milk sounds good to me.

I know! If I can get my fix with a donut, I would eat breakfast.
