This is so far afield from a typical post that I don't have a category for it: caffeinated doughnuts have just been patented, and the inventor is negotiating with Krispy Kreme, Starbucks, etc. to get these sugary, bright-eyed treats onto the desks of sleep-deprived startups everywhere. There's also a brief NY Times announcement. Apparently, the big deal was to get out (or mask) the bitter taste of caffeine.
Just had to share this snippet. Since I don't drink coffee and love baked goods, I'm ecstatic from the idea. I expect to see entire trays of these at the next hackathon.
