Why Drink That Coffee When You Could Just Suck Caffeine Out of a Tube?

Why Drink That Coffee When You Could Just Suck Caffeine Out of a Tube? Thanks to Harvard professor David Edwards, chapstick-sized tubes of inhalable caffeine are now available in Massachusetts, New York, and France, for the people so on-the-go that a coffee/Red Bull/Five Hour Energy just will not suffice. Some people however, are calling for FDA intervention, due to both the risk that users could abuse the product for energy while drinking alcohol, or that they could too-easily overdose on caffeine. On the other hand, this could be just the ticket for speed daters. On the whole, we’d say this product makes very slightly more sense than an earlier project of Edwards’s: inhalable chocolate flavor.
