The force is with the sausage – Absurd of the day

First it was No-Doz, the staple study aid for millions of college students. Next came Red Bull and all of those other “energy drinks.” Now folks who feel a bit drowsy can simply suck down a sausage or two.

Visitors to Germany’s famous October Beer Festival will be kept awake this year with the help of a “power sausage” stuffed with caffeine.

Inventor, butcher Johann Drexel insists: “The Breaker sausage picks you up like an espresso.”

The sausage contains just 10% fat, vitamins B1 and B6 as well as caffeine and taurine. Caffeine stimulates circulation, while taurine allows to body to absorb it faster.
