Caffeine fix? Now you can literally inhale it.
A Harvard professor has invented and unleashed the AeroShot, an inhalable form of caffeine, complete with B vitamins. A blast of it costs about three bucks, and is available in convenience stores in Massachusetts and New York, and from online sources like the AeroShots Shop, with free shipping within the USA, no less!
David Edwards, AeroShot’s inventor and a professor of biomedical engineering, said that the product he’s created is safe. It doesn’t have taurine, an additive often found in energy drinks. Each little plastic container’s dose contains 100 milligrams of caffeine powder, which is equivalent to a large cup of coffee.
According to his website, Dr. Edwards has done pioneering work inhalable forms of insulin. I guess the inhaled form of caffeine is a logical extension of the inhaler technology. To my mind, one advantage is that the product can be consumed on the go, and in places where it wouldn’t be appropriate to sit and sip a cup of coffee — long night shifts at busy jobs, long drives, long study sessions in the library where no food or beverages are allowed.
