Le Whif: inhalable caffeine

Now that personal jet packs are a reality, it only makes sense that inventors are moving on to other important innovations:

A nutty Harvard professor has put a jolt in the java trade with a strange new inhalable espresso -- allowing caffeine fiends to breathe in their morning cup of joe....
The coffee hits consist of powder inside lipstick-like containers that are pulled open, inserted in the mouth and inhaled.
The sticks are sold individually for $3 or in boxes of three for $8 -- and each stick delivers 100 milligrams of caffeine, the equivalent of a cup of espresso.

Okay, maybe it's not all that innovative, given similar developments in the delivery of alcohol and nicotine, but still - this kind of forward-thinking is a real contribution to propping up our failing society.

Don't forget the "similar developments" in the delivery of cocaine!

Stimulants are what keeps capitalism capitalizing and materialism materializing.

the article specifies that the particles are designed to be too big to enter the lungs; they are absorbed by the tongue & cheeks instead to get the kick & taste.

hehe, i wonder. wont 100mg of powder in your lungs feel kind of... itchy?

Practical, I guess, but hardly compares with enjoying a cup of coffee. I don't think it will take off.

And I found the 'propping up our failing society' comment amusing.

lol the proping up our failing society thing may be a bit much no?
