A Chocolate Air Valentine

Beyond Above &

by J. Michael Wheeler
Whiffable Chocolate Powder
A box of chocolates is so last century. This Valentine’s Day you can get her breathable chocolate from Le Whif! Really! Le Whif is a flavor delivery device invented by Harvard University biomedical engineering professor David Edwards at his ArtScience Labs (which has a base at, oddly enough, the cultural center Le Laboratoire, in Paris, France).

And just what is Le Whif?

Le Whif is a new delicious approach to eating by breathing. With Le Whif, we inhale food, like chocolate, into our mouths and taste it, without chewing, an experience of flavor without the calories. Le Whif is a fun new way to experience chocolate without the calories and coffee without the cup. – Le Whif Brochure

Chocolate without chewing? Coffee without, well, coffee? I just hope Professor Edwards and ArtScience Labs haven’t started work on Le Kiss.

Happy Valentine’s Day.
