Snort Some Chocolate

Say hello to my leetle friend.

A French chef has teamed up with a biomedical engineer to create Le Whif, an inhaler that gives you a shot of chocolate powder that allows you to savor the taste without the calories. Or, you know...the things for which one normally eats chocolate.

Le Whif goes in your mouth, not up your nostrils, unless your nose holes have taste buds, in which case, party on, Garth.

You get about four puffs per container, and each Le Whif retails for 3 euros, or about $4.35 US. That seems like a pretty steep toll for 200 milligrams of chocolate powder, but who am I to question the French?

Le Whif - it's like eating a French person's dust.

Hilarious post from Michael Goldfarb from The Weekly Standard. The linked article includes a reference to McDonald's in France.

In case you don't know what hegemony is, click here.
