Le Whif

I love chocolate and yes, I worry about its impact on my hips.  But sometimes, a small square is just necessary.  The desire cannot be contained…..but Harvard Professor David Edwards is taking a shot at it.

In fact, he’s created a chocolate that is TOTALLY calorie-free and doesn’t include an ounce of aspartame.  It’s called ‘Le Whif’ and from its promotional materials it seems more like an experience than a snack.

It works like this: you put the small cylindrical container into your mouth and puff.  Hundreds of miligrams of tiny food particles fall onto your tongue…creating a sense of chocolate, an air of it…without one chew.

I want to try all three flavors (raspberry chocolate, mint chocolate, dark chocolate) of this puppy….I’m not thinking it would satisfy my post-dinner cravings but then again…..science is beautiful, no?

  • I have a feeling this would just multiply my chocolate cravings, and I’d be running around looking for the nearest piece (or pile) of chocolate I could eat for real!
