Invention serves up a 'whif' of coffee

A research network founded by Harvard professor David Edwards, launched a new Le Whif flavour, coffee, in the United States with a roll-out hitting stores throughout England, France and Japan by April.



Le Whif Coffee is similar to Le Whif Chocolate - the lipstick-shaped inhaler delivers tiny sprinkles of a breathable coffee powder with an amount of caffeine equivalent to an espresso. "Le Whif first offered the taste of chocolate without the calories, and now it offers the kick of coffee without the cup," said Edwards.



Le Whif Chocolate, "uses particle engineering to form chocolate in particle sizes that are small enough to become airborne though too large to enter the lungs," said Edwards.

Yeah well he also likes to eat incense, to smell Bach or the songs of Rihanna, to see tabacco with the same effect as when smoking it--- Perhaps he basically want's to make synesthesia available to the whole world...?
