Granted, we were excited when remote controllers for TV’s came out. And when cell phones the size of a suitcase weighing 20 lbs. became available we went nuts. And now….there’s inhalable caffeine. Just when we thought maybe America had lost its edge, lost its competitive spirit, lost its ability to innovate its way to leap tall buildings in a single bound, there’s Aeroshot.
David Edwards a mad scientist, err professor at Harvard “fuses the deductive logic of scientific experimentation with the intuitive inspiration of artistic creation.” We didn’t say that, he did. Heck,we don’t even know what that means.
But we do know this, Aeroshot is cool. This little device that frankly looks like a shotgun shell packs a bunch of B vitamins and 100 milligrams of caffeine into each dose. What’s different about it is that you pull on the
pump and it supposedly releases a puff of citrus flavored B vitamins and caffeine that instantly dissolves in your mouth. More convenient than traditional energy drinks and Starbucks, but you might miss that cute little leaf on top of your 2 PM latte.
The product will be released in Boston and New York in January, 2012 but if you act now they’ll send you a free sample to try. Early reports say that the shot tastes bad, really bad but then it goes away. And then whammo, the caffeine hits you like the turbo boost on a Porsche Carrera. Clean, pure energy that snaps you alert, helps you focus and then…well you crash…just like with the Carrera.
Ok so it’s not the answer to nonrenewable energy depletion and won’t solve the energy crisis but won’t it be fun to explain to the TSA Agent that the little device isn’t really a shotgun shell, doesn’t contain liquids and only contains a fine powder that gives you a jolt.
