Caffeinated Soaps!

According to Reuters:

Inventors have created a soap infused with caffeine which helps users wake up in the morning. The soap, called Shower Shock, supplies the caffeine equivalent of two cups of coffee per wash, with the stimulant absorbed naturally through the skin, manufacturers say.

While they were at it, I wonder why they didn't work on soaps that supply nicotine too. A couple of my colleagues mentioned (when I suggested them to quit smoking) that they can't hear the call of nature until they play the silent clarinet*. Perhaps washing their hands with a nicotine soap would do the trick!

*My Vizag friend Saiappa used to call smoking as playing "mooga sannai". In Telugu, mooga = silent, and Sannai = a musical instrument. Clarinet is the only substitute word that I can think of for Sannai now.
