perky oatmeal?



Link to a SLATE article about caffeinated products.

The oatmeal:

"Even if the taste were bearable, oatmeal requires more prep work than most snack foods—you need a bowl, a spoon, and hot water. As for its efficacy, Morning Spark did give me a boost, but it also left me feeling woozy and nearly spoiled my appetite for dinner. In the reading test, I got through five pages, then skimmed a few more before a headache set in. The reasonable price tag can't save it: This is definitely the worst product of the bunch"

When i worked at the store and did the overnights, i used to make the coffee with caffeinated water. It was a bad scene. But in the oatmeal??? I hope I will not ever go that far!

(I love my plain oatmeal every morning just the way it is - like Bert does.)
