Le Whif: Inhalable Chocolate

Have you ever heard of "Le Whif"? It's a candy substitute, I guess, that looks like a plastic whistle and contains tiny particles of chocolate. Rather than eat a real candy bar, you can allegedly get the same taste enjoyment from breathing in the aerosol particles of chocolate in "Le Whif," without the calories. In theory. (To quote Homer Simpson, "In theory Communism works. In theory.....")

While "Le Whif" was apparently invented by a Harvard professor, it is not currently available at stores in the United States. You can buy "Le Whif" on its own website (lewhif.com). But it's priced there (verging on self-parody) only in Euros. Embedded below is a 2 minute video of a guy trying one:
