The Three Weirdest Ways to Get a Caffeine Buzz Without Drinking Coffee

Sooner or later, most people find themselves in desperate need of a caffeine buzz when there isn't an espresso machine or a Starbuck's franchise for miles around. Call it the java version of Murphy's Law. Call it the universe having a good laugh at every coffee addict's expense. Call it whatever you like. But thanks to a trio of weird new products, it's easier than ever to get that fresh-brewed-style fix without drinking a single cup of joe. Just stock up on the following goodies and never be left caffeine stranded again...

1) Spazzstick Caffeinated Lip Balm ($2.99 per tube)

This little wonder comes from Alaska, home of endless winter darkness, equally endless midnight sun, and a consequent epidemic of sleep deprivation. So it's really no surprise that Spazzstick Caffeinated Lip Balm works as well as it does. The product offers up an instant Folger's jolt upon contact, and within fifteen minutes you're high as a kite on that direct caffeine infusion. Plus the balm does a great job of keeping your pout nicely moisturized, too (perfect for kissing between bounces off the ceiling). And it comes in two absolutely scrumptious flavors--Cool Mint and Vanilla Toffee--so you'll never get bored while staying awake.

2) SumSeeds Caffeinated Sunflower Seeds ($4.99 per 3.5 ounce bag)

Of all the foods in the world, I never would have imagined sunflower seeds to be prospective candidates for caffeine infusion therapy. And yet here they are, straight from the SumSeeds lair and brimming with coffee buzz potential. In fact, even the outer shells have a layer of caffeine attached--meaning you're supposed to lick them first before cracking everything open to reach the inner seeds. That might sound bizarre, but trust me it works. In addition, SumSeeds Caffeinated Sunflower Seeds also contain other body turbo rockets like natural ginseng and taurine. Needless to say, after downing a crunchy bag of these you'll be moving so fast all people will see is a blur.

3) Javapops ($9.99 for a pack of 10)
