Caffeine-lovers in a hurry can now turn to blackout in a tube
Would you want to inhale your caffeine?

As if it weren't already easy enough to score the world's most-widely-used drug, caffeine has a new mode of delivery that's both cheap and fast.

AeroShot provides a coffee cup worth of caffeine in a huffable little canister the size of a lipstick tube.

Developed by French celebrity chef Thierry Marks and Harvard professor David Edwards, creator of breathable chocolate, AeroShot is now selling in Massachusetts and New York for $2.99 a pop.

Conceed that the quick pick-me-up will make the rounds as a club drug, like "blackout in a can" drinks mixing caffeine and alcohol, Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) is asking the U.S.D.A. for a thorough review.
