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."

Great and in a minute you’ll have to take another snort.
I’ll have some of those cathead biscuts with gravy,a couple of those double yolk eggs fried in bacon grease , some Kelly’s sausage paddies with some grits.And Hon,put some butter on the grits.Now I’m ready for the day.
Mango chocolate? *shudders*
I don’t crave chocolate that often, so when I do I’m going eat it, not snort it.
Now I’m hungry. :)
Like this thing won’t cause lung cancer.
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.
And just WHY wasn’t I immediately pinged to this post? Huh? Huh? ;)
Whiffing chocolate? This makes about as much sense as watching a porno film for .....oh.........................never mind.
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.
Two things you can’t fake.Eatin’ and breathin’.
...oh, and Happy Good Friday.
Countdown to Guinness and Chocolate has BEGUN.
Cheers!
