Great news for anorexics, you can now inhale your food as a cloud of smoke without consuming the calories or gaining the pounds. ‘Le Whaf’ and ‘Le Whif’ are creations by 49 year old David Edwards, who explains how they work:

“His first experiment with breathable food was with Le Whif, a lipstick tube-shaped contraption that works like an asthma pump. But instead of medication, it is filled with powdered chocolate, coffee or vitamins.

‘Whiffers’ put their lips around the base of the tube and breathe in to fill their mouth with the powder. A single puff (one calorie) is supposed to sate chocolate or caffeine ­cravings–and it’s doing surprisingly well. More than 200,000 Whifs sold last year, the majority in the UK (£4, House of Fraser).

If you want, say, tomato soup, you need to buy a specially-prepared liquidised version of the dish made by Edwards’s team, which contains a secret mix of its ‘essences’.

To make the machine work, just press the ‘on’ switch. Within a minute, a cloud of tiny droplets forms in the goldfish bowl. The cloud can be dispensed from a nozzle on the side of Le Whaf. It then stays ­suspended inside the glass for a minute before it sinks.”
