As we previously posted there's a startling new development that's sure to please both caffeine addicts and cops everywhere. A molecular biologist has devised a method to spike doughnuts with caffeine. Previous attempts to lace the sugary fried treats with caffeine proved unsuccessful because of the extremely bitter taste.Dr. Robert Bohannon of Environostics is the man behind the caffeine-laced doughnuts, which he has dubbed Buzz Donuts. His manufacturing process allows the caffeine to be absorbed in the intestine, thus eliminating any off tastes.
Each of Bohannon's spiked doughnuts contains around 50 mg. of caffeine, the equivalent of a cup of coffee. Just the thought of washing one of these things down with a steaming cup of java makes my palms sweat with anticipation. Look for them to hit the market in October.

Most people love the coffee/doughnut combo just fine as is. Those who hate coffee but want to get wired can chug a Mountain Dew or something. Leave the poor doughnuts alone!
