Like caffeine...only caffeine-ier

Around noon, I headed to the local 7-11 for my morning coffee, where I stumbled upon perhaps the best kept secret in the world.  Several things amaze me about the existence of Fusion Energy Coffee.


Despite decades of experimentation by scientists the world over, the folks at 7-11 ended up being the ones to harness the power of fusion and actually contain the reaction.  Even more amazing is that those same folks decided that the best application of this technology was in the coffee industry, rather than supplying near limitless energy to the world population.  I have to wonder whether coffee is really the most efficient delivery method for transporting all of that power.  But who am I to second-guess the almost-certain winners of this year's Nobel prize in Physics?
