AeroShot Pure Energy: Ready, Aim, Caffeinate

Far safer than sticking an actual shotgun shell in your mouth, these AeroShot cartridges provide as much caffeine in one shot as a large cup of strong coffee. Minus the stained teeth and bad breath.

Each cartridge contains six to eight puffs of a fine powder composed of vitamin B and 100 milligrams of caffeine. Enough to wake you up in the morning, or keep you going through that afternoon slump. But unlike coffee or energy drinks, the AeroShots are completely calorie free. Now we’ve covered inhalable products before, like the Le Whif inhaler that coats your mouth with the “essence” of chocolate. But the AeroShot has no discernable flavour, and is only designed to give you a boost of energy.

They were created by Harvard professor David Edwards, who along with Tom Hadfield started a company called Breathable Foods to get them to the market. But unfortunately if you’re reading this because you don’t have the energy to get back to work today, you’ve got another 90 days before these hit store shelves starting in Boston and New York.

    What makes me think there will be a spate of truck driving catastrophes, caused by seriously over wired truckies?

    Why not just buy a packet of NoDoze?.. I fail to see anything better about this other than it being a gimmick..

        E cigs are a fad too. Most of the people I know who’ve tried them (including me) gave them up quite soon because while it’s an interesting concept, it’s not quite the same thing.

        When was the last time you saw a complete stranger puffing on an e-cig in public? It’s like Second Life. Nowhere near as popular as the maintream media things it is.

          @Steve: Been using ecigs for over 2 years now.. much more satisfying than the ‘real’ thing and better tasting too. Most people unfortunately get sold overpriced crap that fails to deliver not only enough nicotine to satisfy cravings but tastes like crap and/or does not have enough water vapour (simulated smoke).. basically they are cheap, knockoff versions of the ones that 100,000′s of people swear by.

          Unfortunately it is a market that sees a lot of this happening and the downside is that these people who have tried it, like all the other quit smoking or replacement smoking things over the years, feel cheated and never bother to research and find a device that is “genuinely” good.

    …why is that man sucking on the sealed end of the device?

      He’s not. He’s puffing on the correct end. Look at the website.

    how depressing, another plastic based product to be used in a second and chucked in a bin to last thousands of years.
