It’s a cup of coffee in a stick, a shot of java that you inhale instead of drink.

It’s called Le Whif, and it comes in what looks like a tube of lipstick. Inside is a breathable powder that contains 100 mg of caffeine — about the same amount as you’d get in a double espresso.

sounds like the same BS that was AWOL (alcohol without liquid)

needless to say, that shit never caught on

I used to do this back in high school with caffeine pills and Ritalin.

Psh adderall is the way to go.

It's more potent than Ritilin and it's what I used to take.

I'm also like ten years older than you. when I was in high school Ritalin was more accessable, because it was around that time that every kid supposedly had ADD and was prescribed it.

I prefer drinking coffee. it's more of an activity. If I was just looking for a quick burst of energy I would snort aderoll or something.

Yea but then you have coffee breath...and if you don't have gum, a mint or a toothbrush readily accessible you are gonna make people regret speaking to you. I approve of snortable coffee mostly because it will be an easy way to hide my cocaine habit. This Is A Joke

Saw this on the Colbert report... I'm temped to get some and do "lines" for shits and giggles

From what I can tell it appears you take it orally, so snorting it might be out of the question.

you inhale it. did you read the link?

Yes, you inhale it... through your mouth, not through your nose. Considering that you don't taste things with your nose, that should be obvious... There's even a video at that link that shows two people trying the product out.

I found these kind of interesting:

Thanks for the info, Captain Literal.

Still doesn't change the fact that you don't snort this product.

Okay I was wrong about the nature of the product, but the fact still remains that this thing is there.

I don't even drink coffe and I still don't like the idea of breathing in powders.

since you take it orally, i wonder if people will also try to take it anally?

I don't recall saying anything about snorting it.

I posted the links merely because I found the relation between taste and smell to be interesting.

it's like you aren't even trying anymore. Rolling Eyes

Let me double post for clarification.

I made a joke about how I used to do drugs in high school. After that, when blackout said "take it orally" I assumed that he meant you would eat the powder, and corrected him.

after that you agreed with me, and I posted some interesting links that I found on google, which may or may not be relevant.

Personally I love drinking coffee, and I would never substitute this by choice.

HOWEVER, if I don't get a coffee fix in the morning, I tend to get really, really bad migraine headaches. Usually not a problem, except when I'm out in the field. (Damn hard to get coffee then.) Usually I have to resort to chewing the instant-coffee crystals from our MREs, which is not fun. I would totally track some of this down and stash it in my field pack. Brilliant.

Anyone else drink black coffee? I'm pretty much the only person I know who likes it.

Posted: Apr 06 2010 01:39 pm

i drink it black. not cause i like it, but because its healthier vs adding sugar/cream

Posted: Apr 06 2010 01:50 pm

I still think it should be snortable. Like pixie stix.

This type of stuff usually never catches on. It's like the AWOL pills and non-HTC pot pills. People are kind of missing the point. Which is that sitting down at a bar/coffee shop/the alleyway behind work and taking my drug in a relaxed social situation is one of the main appeals. Hell, just take some no-doz or Excedrin if you want a perk pill.
