WTF: Inhalable Coffee

Yup, that’s right GBD. You no longer have to actually drink the coffee in order to get a caffeine fix, you can just smell it in. I guess it’s kind of like an inhaler, except instead of medication you get the coffee smell (or it can be a form of medication for those of us that cannot survive without our regular cup of joe).
David Edwards, a biomedical engineering professor at Harvard developed what is now called the “Le Whif Coffee”. It’s a one-time biodegradable puffer that’s about the size of a lipstick. Edwards developed this nifty little thing through particle engineering, which means you make all those tiny particles of coffee even smaller until they can be airborne, you then put them in a carry on lipstick-sized container and voila! You now have your caffeine fix on the super go. Don’t worry about the spills! Get your puffer instead! Basically, if this little thing-a-majig is used, we could cut down in massive amounts all those cups people throw away that causes pollution. Le Whif can cut down waste and pant stains! Whoulda thunk?

What’cha think GBD? Win, Toss or Fail?
. It would be awesome if they did one for Coke.

March 23, 2010Win! Any way to get caffeine in you is a win! Does it smell like coffee? I would be interested in seeing a demonstration of this so called coffee inhaler!
