LeWhif- inhaled food

[rothenbj]

hahaha i saw the thread name and had to comment. The inventor i guess is a Harvard University professor and my mother happened to be in Harvard Square and got one of these. The pack looks like a tiny cigarette pack and looks like a plastic fat cigar. The thing is stupid all you inhale is air. all the ingredients fall onto your tongue and leave a disgusting black mark on there for a little bit. It seems really stupid to me. I guess it was being marketed at the store as a type of dietary device. To curb cravings for chocolate. However, it does taste like chocolate. Like all of you, I hate the name... haha and Le Whif sounds more like a french fart then some type of inhaled chocolate haha.

If i go over to my mother's tonight ill grab some pics and throw them up haha.

So it looks like a plastic cigar that's flavored with sweets and inhaled, and advertised as a dietary device, but not a herbal remedy? Darn, that's sounding a lot like a candy cigarette with health claims. That could inspire our poor children to think cigarettes are okay.

I suppose the inventor, being a fellow alumni of our Principle Deputy Commissioner of the FDA, ,Josh Sharfstein, should get a free pass unless something goes wrong.

"Powdered sugar (sugar, corn starch), sugar, spray dried coffee powder, natural and artificial flavor, caffeine."

No propylene glycol, no vegetable glycerine, no nicotine. Very different product.

Wonder what they are spraying on the coffee to dry it? Could it be PG?

Of course no one in our goverment, like the FDA is concerned enough to demand to know exactly what it is or what are the artificial flavors. No tax dollars in jeopardy here, only peoples lives at stake.

From what I have seen from the FDA as far as their reaction to PV's is that human life has no value in their eyes , only the bottom line and lobbiest with huge amounts of cash get their attention.

If a person were some how to fall in a 5,000 gallon tank of PG and drown today, tomorrow's headlines would read:

FDA Bans Propylene Glycol and ECigs, Says It Is Deadly!​

I just saw the 'Le Whif' website this morning and had to check whether anyone is talking about it here... I have to agree that it is a poor choice for a name.

On the product video almost every person that uses it holds it like a cigarette. It's got caffeine in it, which is addictive like nicotine. It's got candy flavors. It's inhaled. FDA, what gives? No tobacco lobby giving you money to research these things? Our government is turning into a sick joke.

Why isn't anyone trying to ban these? One of them has caffeine in it.

Folks, this just has to be a parody. It's some former Onion intern's clever-clever piece of internet-based performance art. Le knee-slapper.

The only other explanation (that people are THAT stupid) I refuse to countenance for an instant...

When will people learn, anything with the word "Le" in front of it, is destined for failure.

Hey, my uncle had one of those in red. I thought it was the coolest thing! Of course, I was only 9 or 10 years old at the time.
