Need an instant pick-me-up? Don't boil a kettle to get your caffeine – inhale it. AeroShot is a lipstick-sized tube containing 100mg of caffeine powder, the same as a large cup of coffee.
Each grey and yellow plastic canister has up to six puffs of lime green powder that is shot into the mouth, where it dissolves instantly.
Makers Breathable Foods Inc say the product is aimed at people with active lifestyles and when it’s ‘inconvenient for liquids’.
What’s more, it contains vitamins, is calorie-free and does not contain additives like taurine used in other energy drinks, says inventor David Edwards of Harvard University.
‘The act of putting it in your mouth is the act of breathing – so it’s sort of surprising and often people the first time they take the AeroShot, they laugh,’ said the professor of biomedical engineering, who has also produced a breathable chocolate called Le Whif.
Despite fears AeroShot will be used as a club drug, the company says it is only targeting the over 18s and warns users not to inhale more than three shots a day.
It costs under £2 and went on sale last month in parts of the US and France, where it is made.
