Scientists Create Chocoholic Dream: All the Taste With None of the Calories (Chocolate Inhaler)
The Telegraph ^ | 10 Apr 2009

A new inhaler - dubbed Le Whif - has been developed by scientists, allowing chocoholics to enjoy all the treats they can handle for zero calories.

The revolutionary gadget means chocolate lovers can indulge their guilty pleasure without putting on weight. The gadget lets users breathe in chocolate to curb cravings and satisfy their sweet tooth.

Invented by Harvard professor David Edwards, Le Whif comes in four different flavours: raspberry, mint, mango and plain. He worked with his students at Harvard University to develop the product and said he was inspired by thinking beyond normal ways of eating food and into the future. He said: "Over the centuries we've been eating smaller and smaller quantities at shorter and shorter intervals. "It seemed to us that eating was tending toward breathing, so, with a mix of culinary art and aerosol science, we've helped move eating habits to their logical conclusion. "We call it whiffing."

I’m not going to lie, I’m snorted hot sauce before.

Well, I’ve held my nose to the jar because I would be sick if I ate another chip.

If I want chocolate, it’s not just for the smell. It’s for the sensation of sinking my teeth into it, feeling it dissolve in my mouth and slide down my throat. I want that buttery feel; I want to push it around with my tongue; I want to be unable to speak. I want to see the glistening brown surface and get a little on my fingers.

An inhaler? Yuck That’s for asthma medication, not chocolate.

Help for the Holt family curse of being Chocaholics? I am referring to an episode of Remington Steele where Laura and her sister go insane over chocolate.

"We call it whiffing."

There was also eau du burger king, called 'the flame'.

I don't imagine it's selling in leaps and bounds either.
