Another Energy Boost Fad

After ThinkGeek.com started selling caffeinated soap, I thought, "What the hell else can they add caffeine to?" How about sunflower seeds? And it's not just caffeine in the new product Sumseeds. They gave it wings! Caffeine, taurine, lysine and ginseng have been added to the dry roasted shells. They didn't add the carbs that you find in those energy drinks, but the manufacturer, Dakota Valley Products, insists that's a selling point, because you get a sustained boost while you suck on the seeds as you crack 'em open. I love sunflower seeds, but I think this is going too far. Well, if they can make a buck off it, why not sell it?
