Scientist develops caffeinated doughnuts
Associated Press ^ | 01/26/07

Posted on 01/26/2007 6:21:38 AM PST by presidio9

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.

Will double-latte donuts be far behind?

Oh hell no it's not! All the more reason to drive through one of the 5 BILLION Dunkin Donuts in NH. (Starbucks sucks--thank God there aren't any here.)

Why are scientists always trying to make our lives more bleak?

News you can use.

"I'll have the double espresso mocha chip frosted, please."

"Coffee or doughnut?"

"Both!"

Starbucks sucks

I wouldn't know. I've never had a starbucks in my life.

(and there's one in the lobby of this building, and one across the street from my apartment)

How about a Buzz Donut

It is only a matter of time before the retard who gave us Cocaine: The Soft Drink branches out into doughnuts. Powdered, of course.

You can make your own version of starbucks fairly easily. Take regular coffee, which has sat on th burner until the breaker shuts off, mix in some cat pee, dog poop and batery acid. Throw some plain yogurt or cottage cheese on top, and there you go.
