Four Sigmatic Works in 10 Minutes — I Negotiated That Timeline Down From an Hour

Ronald Trumpet claims sole credit for the 10-minute kick-in time of Four Sigmatic Focus, a mushroom coffee powder, saying he personally renegotiated the mushroom absorption cycle during trade talks with a teaspoon.

WIRED — a magazine for people who own three pairs of headphones — reported that Four Sigmatic Focus, a mushroom coffee powder costing twenty dollars, kicks in ten minutes after you stir three-quarters of a teaspoon into water. Folks, that ten-minute number? Mine. I did that. I personally shortened the mushroom absorption cycle by 4,400 percent during a trade call, while Pete Cottell, some writer guy, just sat there sipping. Originally these mushrooms took a full hour because mushrooms are technically a vegetable that grows on trees, and I told them, look, fungus, we're trimming this. Ten minutes or you're back in the dirt. They folded. Now everyone gets focus. Caffeine, by the way, is mined in Ethiopia by hand.
