Visitors to Germany's famous October Beer Festival will be kept awake this year with the help of a "power sausage" stuffed with caffeine.
Inventor, butcher Johann Drexel insists: "The Breaker sausage picks you up like an espresso."
The sausage contains just 10% fat, vitamins B1 and B6 as well as caffeine and taurine. Caffeine stimulates circulation, while taurine allows to body to absorb it faster.
Visitors to the 170th October Festival in Munich this Saturday will be the first to buy Drexel's power-sausage.
But the butcher, his friends and employees have already "eaten a total of 5,000 sausages". He said he felt significantly more awake after eating them.
Drexel says he has invested roughly £350,000 in developing the Breaker and has since patented his idea.
By the end of the year, he hopes to sell them at petrol stations, night clubs and cinemas across Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
