CAMBRIDGE, Mass.- The Paris-based manufacturers of an inhalable coffee powder said the confection became available Thursday at stores in New York and Massachusetts.
Le Whif coffee, created by David Edwards, a Harvard University professor of biomedical engineering, and marketed by his Paris-based company LaboGroup, is being offered for sale at Dylan's Candy Bar in New York and Cardullo's Gourmet Shoppe in Cambridge, Mass., The Chicago Tribune reported.
LaboGroup, part of experimental art and design center Le Laboratoire, said it hopes to expand the product to other states during the next month.
A Dylan's Candy Bar worker said Le Whif packages will cost $3 each.
"Le Whif is a new delicious approach to eating by breathing," a Le Whif product brochure reads. "With Le Whif, we inhale food, like chocolate, into our mouths and taste it, without chewing, an experience of flavor without the calories."
Perfect with your newly formulated nicotine beverage.
LOL

Welcome to Range 63, where the coffee will kill you quicker than a short round....
Roger that. Enjoying that first cup 'o joe is one of the more pleasurable moments of my day. I consider coffee one of God's greatest gifts to us. You could just chew a nicorette if all you wanted was the quick wake up buzz.
That’s nasty! The only way to enjoy coffee, IMHO, is fresh and hot. I prefer mine black, no sugar.
Any real coffee junky can do it the old fashioned way...
Just snort a couple lines of instant coffee off the tabletop! :-)
It’s inexplicable why there isn’t snort-able caffeine. /s
Oncet, I was really tired on an O-dark-thirty convoy in the .mil. I was starting to nod off, so I just opened one of those Type II, Style III instant coffee packets and while I didn’t use it as snuff, I basically just downed it with a swig of canteen water. Did the trick.
Looks more like....Le Suc
So, what is the problem you mentioned?
LOL!
I hated coffee until I was stuck working on an IT contract in a large cold storage room for Delta Airlines. It was free and the only way to stay warm.
After a week...I was hooked.
I’m not as bad as I used to be. I used to drink it in the middle of a summer afternoon. Now I drink diet dew.
You would love the stuff our maintenance shop makes! Oh my sweet petunias. I nearly gagged on it one day and they laughed at me. Told me that it would grow hair on my chest. I told them, “To he!! with my chest. It’ll grow it on my teeth.”
I love my coffee. Youngest child is planning an intervention when he returns from Iraq. (His sister can’t keep a secret.) But I will not drink the asphalt that our maintenance crew produces.

Where do you get it? Publix qualifies as gourmet shopping around here and you sure don’t want to know what qualifies as coffee. Is it available on the internet?
Hear that Laz? Next time you get the urge to hit someone you can just sniff her instead.
