The problem with drinking coffee to get your daily caffeine fix is that some people don't really care for the taste, even if it comes in the form of a sweet, milky mocha latte from the nearest coffee bar. Energy drinks partially solved the problem by adding more sugar (or artificial sweeteners) to cover up the taste, but a molecular scientist, Dr. Robert Bohannon, has come up with what he thinks is an even better way to catch a buzz. He has come up with a way to add caffeine to baked goods.
Buzz Donuts and Buzzed Bagels are the first of what will probably be many caffeinated pastries. Bohannon originally had some difficulty in disguising the taste of the caffeine, which has a very bitter flavor on its own, but once he got the flavoring under control, he was able to add quite a lot of caffeine to his products. Each one contains the equivalent of two cups of coffee, or about 100mg per pastry.
Bohannon has already approached Krispy Kreme, Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts about selling his pastries.

Besides, bagels totes def don't give you wings.

Wouldn't ppl get less fat because typically when you are eating such a bagel/donut you are washing it down with a fat-filled coffee-like beverage, wouldn't this kind of wipe out that part of the equation so you would thus end up consuming less calories and fat as long as you washed the bagel/donut down with water or diet soda

So, wouldn't the caffienated donut or bagel satisfy your sweet tooth while having the effect of a diet pill or Red Bull? Seems you could lose weight in the long-run .... it could probably give you a stroke or heart attack, though, if you already have high blood pressure or cardiac issues.
