Okay, maybe not immortal, but a new study has shown that coffee may increase longevity.

The study, from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), found that older coffee drinkers — even fans of decaf — had a lower risk of death than those who didn't.

Give us a sec, we're gonna go put on a pot real quick.

Starbucks Enters The Energy Drink Game!

Filed under: Business BlitzFood

Starbucks Energy Drink

Watch out, Red Bull! Starbucks is about to get energy all up on your asses with… an energy drink?

Doesn't coffee already do that?

Weird.

Anyway, it's true. Starbucks is going to sell an energy drink other than all that coffee they already sell. They're calling them Starbucks Refreshers.

Yes, they are all natural! Good guess!

The fruity, carbonated drink that's high in antioxidants uses unroasted, green coffee extract for the energy boost! And yes, it has no coffee taste.

It has a full range of flavors including Raspberry Pomegranate and Strawberry Lemonade. Two of the most middle-of-the-road flavors ever.

Plans are to sell it for $1.99 for a 12-ounce, 60-calorie can.

Does this interest you or does it seem totally redundant and not necessary?
