I was scanning through my online news, with a cup of our Brown and Jenkin's Costa Rican coffee in one hand, and the mouse in my other, when I stumbled across a new way to get a caffeine dose. Ok- since I've already tipped my hand with the title you know that I'm talking about caffeinated marshmallows.
Caffeinated Food Products
You can go to ThinkGeek to buy a bag of these pumped up puffs with a logo of the old Ghostbuster StayPuft Marshmallow man on the front. Which is funny if you consider that the college students who are probably buying these things don't even remember that 80's classic movie. Another site offers caffeinated sunflower seeds for the health conscious caffeine seeker.
- What do you think?
- Do caffeinated candy and health products deserve a place next to the Harvest Blend coffee beans?
- Or are they just fads that will fade away like the one time blockbuster movie?
- Will you be adding marshmallows to your coffee for an extra rush?
How much caffeine is in coffee and these other products?
- Cup of coffee 90-150mg
- Caffeinated marshmallows 100+ mg
- Caffeinated sunflower seeds 140mg
For those of us with a passion for gourmet coffee, I don't think any amount of caffeine will replace the "buzz" that comes from the combination of aroma, flavor and smoothness of a great cup of coffee. Still, it's always fun to see what trends come and go, and what is here to stay.
Until our next cup,
Sandy Riggen
