       "Hey, kids! Tell your mom that *you* want Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs, now with CAFFEINE!!"

       Why not go the whole hog and add SPEED instead? That'll wake yer up!

Haemavore, Sep 20 2000
  

       Jolt Cereal ... all the sugar and twice the caffeine.

arghblah, Oct 29 2000
  

       Kellog's Crystal Meth Flakes. Yum.   

       As to the chocolate cereals having caffeine. Chocolate has a naturally occuring alkaloid, theobromine, that is similar to caffeine but not quite the same. It does behave as a stimulant.   

       I've recently read that, curiously, theobromine is quite poisonous to canines, with 4 oz. of dark chocolate capable of killing a 10 lb dog.

bristolz, Oct 29 2000
  

       What about just spiking the milk with caffeine? Same effect, and you're not limited to certain brands of cereal, or even to cereal itself. Imagine the power that caffeinated cheese, for example, would have to improve people's lives.   

       I envision this as being along the same lines as the recent enthusiasm for fortifying all sorts of things -- water, orange juice -- with calcium.

Monkfish, Oct 29 2000
  

       Caffeinate the sugar used also and you're all set, for both cereal and coffee.

PotatoStew, Dec 29 2000
  

       Many people drink cola in the morning who do not like coffee.

Vance, Jan 29 2001
  

       Why not just try cola on your cornflakes?   

       I know it tastes like hell if you rinse your mouth out with cola while cleaning your teeth (in bachelor days I was less responsible)

UnaBubba, Feb 03 2001
  

       cola on your cornflakes is just bad. hey, i was 12 years old! (a huge difference from now where i just eat 3 or 4 teaspoons of fresh ground coffee before work)

xunshin, Aug 09 2001
  

       Sounds like a good idea to me. I don't drink coffee in the morning, and sometimes I'd like an extra boost. However, I eat Pop-Tarts, so that may be the thing for the extra caffeine.

       //We need a mascot for the commercials. A rabbit or dog or whatever. Maybe a kangaroo. Yeah, a kangaroo//

Tootie Fruities beat ya to it with the Kangaroo. Used to be a clown though. May I suggest a Mountain Yeti?

AfroAssault, Oct 06 2001
  

       You want caffeine syrup(only 100mg an ounce)? See link.   

       You can also get caffeinated bottled water to brew your coffee with. (see link)   

       Orr...if you _really_ want to be wired in the morning try their caffeinated soap...(see link as well)

BinaryCookies, Aug 10 2002
  

       wow, you guys are almost as wacky as those guys from "Friends". edgy!

notripe, Aug 11 2002
  

       Why not just caffienate everything for breakfast. Bacon, eggs, bread, milk, syrup. what next? instead of Fluoride why not caffiene in our water supply. i know it would get me to drink it more, and keep my mountain dew bills down. as for bakers there's nothing we cant caffienate!! woohoo!

L a z y M a n, Aug 07 2003
  

       Never noticed this idea before, thanks for popping it up, Lazy. (WTAGIPBAN)

krelnik, Aug 07 2003
  

       how bout crystalized shakable caffeine? salt, pepper, MSG, caffeine. Kids can loosen the lids in Denny's across the nation. It'll be a riot.

raisin, Aug 07 2003
  

       +for the idea and the laugh.

crispee, Aug 07 2003
  

       I'm with Monkfish on the caffeinated milk idea, just so I can have caffeinated custard - yum

seedy em, Aug 07 2003
  

       You drag yourself out of bed in the morning and shamble to the kitchen, blinking in the light from the fridge as you peer myopically at the contents of the shelves. Suddenly, your heart plummets into your fuzzy slippers as you espy the (gasp!) nearly empty milk container. Oh no! The terrible choice lies before you - coffee, or cereal? Well, you could pour coffee _on_ your cereal, but what if you (double gasp!) have… no… coffee…!?   

       Now introducing (wait for it…) Coffee Krispies! (any resemblance to a well-known cereal or candy bar is purely coincidental - really! ;-)   

       And for our friends across the pond who may feel that we've neglected to provide them the opportunity for a taste of _their_ favourite beverage in the morning (no, not Guinness), we now offer tiny letter-shaped cereal bits infused with essence of camellia sinensis, appropriately named (raises tomato shield) "Tea & A's"….

       Take a Pro Plus and a Nicotenel and wash 'em down with a Red Bull.... Add Nescafe to taste.

Dub, Aug 22 2005
  

       I like coffee. Am I just way out of date?

wagster, Apr 08 2008
  

       Yes. (+)

Shadow Phoenix, Apr 09 2008
  

       oh my! I NEED THIS!!!! *claws screen*

XValentine, Apr 09 2008
  

       I'm with the wagster on this. Specialist products for specialist requirements.

DrBob, Apr 10 2008
  

       I've read that if one inhales just a little bit of powdered caffeine, they will die because it goes straight into the bloodstream and causes the heart to fribulate. That's a no for the caffeine shaker.

Spacecoyote, Apr 10 2008
  

       Good old Caffy-Puffs. I actually have a salt-shaker of powdered caffeine for exactly this purpose. Three shakes is all it takes. Also, spacecoyote, I can tell you from experience that one can inhale caffeine without instant death. LD50 in rats is 192 mg/kg, so you'd have to hoover up 10-20 grams before you'd run substantial risk.
