We already know that entrepreneurs and manufacturers are putting caffeine in everything. But soap? That's the newest in a long list of caffeinated drinks and foods: energy drinks, cough medicine, candy bars, popcorn, chewing gum, ad nauseum.
Advertisers ask if you are among those who can't wake up without drinking one, two, three cups of coffee. Hey! Kick the coffee habit and get clean with caffeinated soap.
And then, you won't have to worry about your cat slurping the left-in-a-cup coffee that you didn't drink. It's toxic, poisonous, to cats and dogs. Just 150 mg can kill little snookums.
However, if the odor of your soap in the shower has the scent of coffee, your cats just may let you lather them up under the shower faucet.
Hard to believe, huh? Yes, I hear you laughing. If you buy the promise that caffeine-infused soap will wake you up -- just go back to bed and try dreaming some more.
Yet, there are a number of caffeinated soap brands and entrepeneurs who -- having convinced Grandpa to give up some money -- think they'll make a fortune. After all, caffeinated coffee is the most popular drug in the world.
There is Costic's Peppermint Scented Caffeinated Soap, with a slight mentholatum effect and costs $8.68, a soap called Shower Shock is a mere $6.99 and Bath Buzz costs $5.95. The Psyco Soap folks however, think caffeinated soap is crazy!
