Caffeine is the New Cranberry

Recall how cranberries found their way into virtually every fruit juice mixture? It wasn't enough to just have apple juice, or grape juice--the good folks of Oceanspray and Dole saw fit to throw in some cranberry. Apparently its what consumers wanted. I've noticed a new trend--a "cranberry" that is finding its way into a variety of foods and beverages. Caffeine. Energy drinks, Crystal Lite, Snickers, and even oatmeal. That’s right, oatmeal.
