Five Odd Ways to Get Your Caffeine
Published at
Gerald Zanetti/FoodPix(NEW YORK) — Coffee lovers, is it becoming too much of an effort to rise up out of bed and drag yourself to the nearest coffee shop every morning? If so, here are five other ways to ingest your caffeine, minus the morning breath:
Sprayable Energy
Spritz on a light mist of Sprayable Energy for the caffeine equivalent of a quarter cup of Joe. You’ll have to keep your Starbucks rewards card a while longer, though. The company is currently raising funds on Indiegogo.com.
Marshmallows
Ghostbusters fans can catch their AM buzz by adding a few Stay Puft marshmallows to their hot cocoa. Each fluffy cube delivers a 100 mg jolt of caffeine, about the same as a shot of espresso, according to the American Beverage Association.
Tooth Brush
Colgate applied for a patent last year for a tooth brush that hypothetically could release a dose of caffeine equivalent to half a cup of coffee. This is another one you’ll have to wait for. The patent was rejected and the company has not announced whether it plans to pursue the idea further.
Cracker Jack’D
Cracker Jack’D Power Bites offer quite the kick compared to the usual candy coated popcorn, peanuts and a prize. These jacked-up munchies hit you up with 70 mg of caffeine per 2-ounce package.
Perky Jerky
Perked coffee? How about Perky Jerky, the world’s only caffeinated jerky, beef or otherwise. The 150 mg of caffeine per ounce buzz comes from Guarana, a little Amazonian berry commonly used in energy drinks.
