Just when you think you've seen it all – there's a new take on inhaling your food.
A Harvard professor has found a way to make chocolate and coffee into a breathable treat. It's called Le Whif.
"This has been designed so it is fun, and it's a way of having the taste of chocolate and essentially no calories," said Le Whif inventor and Harvard professor David Edwards.
That's right. Satisfy your craving with no calories.
Edwards invented the inhaler along with his students. A France-based company makes the product. The micro-powder delivery system uses taste and smell to treat and maybe trick your senses.
"Both olfactory and taste sensations are driven by whiffing," Edwards said.
The concept has already been tested worldwide. But now that Le Whif is debuting in the U.S., can a whiff of chocolate or caffeine satisfy the masses?
"Anything that is coffee, I will try, definitely," said Le Whif taster Janet Pavia.
"Chocolate, it takes a second to eat chocolate. Why take away the pleasure of eating real food?" asked Le Whif taster Deyana Williamson.
Some think it's just a fad, but others see it as a way to curb their cravings.
"I just had weight loss surgery, so we can't have the calories and the sugar, so just pop it open and," said Le Whif taster Michelle Foneseca.
The cost for this new dose of divine is around three dollars for a single inhaler which delivers eight whiffs.
The breathable blast of real chocolate or coffee delivered with an inhaler is now available in select U.S. stores. If you cannot find Le Whif in retail stores, you can go to www.lewhif.com for more information on how to order online.
