Breathable Chocolate Now Available
Professor invents breathable chocolate in small, pocket-sized tubes.
Is chewing your food simply too time consuming and energy intensive? Le Whif may be the answer.
Invented by Harvard professor David Edwards, Le Whif comes in a small biodegradable tube which contains approximately 8 whiffs of whatever flavour that particular tube is.
Currently, Le Whif is available in 3 flavours: chocolate, mint chocolate and raspberry chocolate, with more to follow. Each whiff contains approximately the same amount of caffeine as a small espresso.
Le Whif conjures up memories of the Jetsons, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or even freeze-dried space food/MREs.
In an increasingly busy society, where meal replacements, granola bars and energy drinks are becoming staples for everyone from students to programmers, could products like this be the precursor to meals-in-a-pill or other quick substitutes?
I remember walking into convenience stores in the US and finding single-packs of supplements containing a handful of pills which provided much of a person’s daily vitamin & mineral needs.
Le Whif seems like a fun little novelty, but this foodie prefers to savour his food, not just inhale it in one quick breath.

According to this website http://www.acu-cell.com/choc.html
“But despite cocoa being such an opiate and endorphin-releasing pharmacological powerhouse, who would have guessed that when chocoholics
were given cocoa in capsules – without the added fat and sugar, and without the feel of chocolate melting in their mouths – it had no satisfying effect at all!”
I wonder how *satisfying* it is to inhale chocolate?
