Inventors have created a soap infused with caffeine which helps users wake up in the morning.

The soap, called Shower Shock, supplies the caffeine equivalent of two cups of coffee per wash with the stimulant absorbed naturally through the skin, manufacturers say.

"Tired of waking up and having to wait for your morning (coffee) to brew?" ask the makers, thinkgeek.com.

Scented with peppermint oil, each bar is designed to provide a stimulant boost within five minutes.

“”Tired of waking up and having to wait for your morning (coffee) to brew?” ask the makers, thinkgeek.com.”

Have these people not heard of a coffeemaker with a timer?

Thinkgeek sells some very interesting stuff. I’ve seen this stuff on there; they also sell various caffeinated energy drinks and caffeinated breath mints. And, they even sell useful stuff as well (I’ve got one of their little LED keychain “photon lights”, and they’re great).

I’ll still to getting my caffeine from Diet Coke for now, though, thanks.

I take my caffeine the way it was meant to be taken: BLACK ROBUST ROAST.

Pour the packet of instant coffee from your MRE into your mouth and wash it down with a slug of water. Works great as an eye-opener.

I thought that was what was in “Coast” soap from the old commercials.

“How are you getting to work today?”

“Backstroke!”
