For true enthusiasts, chocolate is as essential a part of life as food, water and, well, the air we breathe. We love eating chocolate, sipping chocolate… even the aroma of chocolate can bring about feelings of euphoria. Just imagine if we could actually breathe chocolate.<\/p>\n
Enter Le Whif, a new product invented by Harvard professor, David Edwards and his Paris-based design team, Le Labo.\u00a0Described as \u201cbreatheable chocolate,\u201d Le Whif is a lipstick-like cylinder from which you inhale tiny particles of chocolate onto your tongue for an intense chocolate taste sensation. Flavors include chocolate, raspberry chocolate, mint chocolate and coffee. Each cylinder contains about four or five “whiffs” (Three cylinders cost around $6.75 US plus shipping, etc.).<\/p>\n
Le Whif has been getting a lot of press here lately (The New York Times<\/a>, NPR<\/a>, CBS Sunday Morning) as it prepares to make its US debut sometime this year.\u00a0The Le Whif World Tour, which is slated to include a candy show in Chicago, is currently underway as people across Europe have already begun to give “Whiffing” a try.<\/p>\n Could Le Whif \u00a0and \u201cbreathable food\u201d be the next big taste experience? If you can’t wait for it to arrive in local stores, you can order it from the Le Whif website.<\/p>\n UPDATE 2014: Le Whif is no longer available. The company is now called AeroLife and makes inhalable nutrition(?). They have a chocolate & coffee product in R&D right now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Everything goes better with chocolate \u2014 even breathing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6707,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,49,13,12,488],"tags":[3,239,96,814,11],"class_list":["post-652","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chocolateroundtheworld","category-chocolate-news","category-outsidechocolate","category-parischocolate","category-update","tag-chocolate","tag-coffee","tag-le-whif","tag-chocolate-news","tag-paris"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/652","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=652"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/652\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35910,"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/652\/revisions\/35910"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6707"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=652"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=652"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=652"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
