Your Brain On Coffee, An Educational Video

caffeine-video

Have you ever wondered why coffee has the ability to both keep us awake, and make us feel less stabby in the morning?

Your Brain on Coffee, brought to us by AsapScience, explains what caffeine is actually doing to our mind grapes. Most importantly, we discover what not only makes us crave caffeine, but why we eventually need more and more to remain functional.

The best part… AsapScience also explains why it’s physically impossible to overdose on caffeine. So, throw back all the mocha-choca lattes you’d like, and have fun trying to sleep this week.

Caffeinated Maple Syrup

Start the day off right by topping your pancakes or waffles with Caffeinated Maple Syrup. The all-natural supercharged syrup packs 84mg of caffeine per serving — more than some energy drinks. So, you can stop soaking your waffles in Red Bull now.

Or, you can turbocharge your morning coffee by using it instead of sugar. Disclaimer… Foodiggity cannot be held responsible for what happens if you do this.

And, if proper syrup distribution is a concern, consider a Pancake Plate, so you don’t miss a drop.

Coffee Jelly Will Help Start Your Day Off Jiggly

When in its standard-issue grape or strawberry flavor, jelly is usually nothing more than a gelatinous Garfunkel to a peanut butter Simon. Coffee Jelly looks to change all of that, and needs to harmonize with no one. Brought to us by Instructables, the rather simple recipe can be the first step to having a completely gelatinous breakfast. Now someone just needs to come up with Bacon and Eggs Jelly.

It’s actually been described as having a slightly bittersweet “caramel-ly” taste that complements vanilla ice cream, or makes a great marinade. The technique can be found here.
