The Grad Student’s New Best Friend
| Peter Klein |
Forget coffee, Red Bull, and Krispy Kreme. Try Snickers Charged, which combines the decadence of a regular Snickers bar with 60mg caffeine. Delicious, nutritious, and sure to see you through that next dissertation chapter!
One taster’s report: “Shortly after downing the Snickers . . . my heartbeat began to accelerate. Within minutes, my hands were trembling and my stomach was a bit upset, but I was typing about twice as fast as I usually do.” Perfect!
