TIL about the Guarana plant, which looks like a cluster of eyes when ripe. This is fitting because it's full of caffeine.

I miss Guarana sodas, it has been almost 20 years, used to be my favorite when living in South America.
Never had it, but considering the Wikipedia article says that it can have more than twice the caffeine of a coffee bean, it must keep you wide awake.
There was one in the US called Bawls that I drank a lot in the 90s. It was really good.
Edit: Turns out it still exists. https://www.bawls.com/
