How Do You Make Doughnuts Better? Add Caffeine

... That cup of coffee just not getting it done anymore? How about a Buzz Donut or a Buzzed Bagel? That's what Dr. Robert Bohannon, a Durham molecular scientist, has come up with.

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.

If you're going to indulge in a sinful donut, why on earth would you not want the steaming cup of coffee to go with it? It's madness!!!

Madness is right! As if you don't crave donuts already. Can you imagine getting a headache if you don't eat a donut? That soon becomes a catch 22.

There's enough caffeine in various foods/drinks as it is. I don't need anymore. LEAVE the doughnut alone. I like my doughnuts just the way they are thank you very much.

why stop at doughnuts! we could add it to pasta noodles, steak and even salad!

that would severely hurt the energy drink market though.

Yikes! They should put caffeine in all alcohol so I don't fall asleep when I drink. ;)

I'm okay with it, as long as the taste isn't bad. I had some caffeinated gum the other day... dreadful.
