Man Invents Inhalable Caffeine

Because energy drinks, coffee, tea, and those disgusting five-hour energy shots just weren't enough, we suppose?

If you love the caffeine rush that coffee gives you but you a) are too busy to finish a cup or b) have a nasty addiction to huffing substances, say hello to the Aeroshot, an inhalable, 100-mg dose of caffeine. The mini caffeine-loaded aerosol containers, invented by David Edwards, a Harvard professor, boast as much of the stimulant as a big cup of coffee. In just six easy puffs of the fine aerosole-y mist, you'll get the caffeine buzz that used to take a whole five minutes to get with silly old coffee. Plus, they contain zero calories. Aeroshots are going to hit store shelves in New York and New Jersey as soon as next year, but we're guessing it'll be another five years before Health Canada gives them the OK to be sold here. We've yet to hear if it mixes as well with vodka as Red Bull.
