Aeroshot gives users a boost of caffeine in aerosol form

October 27, 2011 By Kelly Montgomery

Take a puff from this tiny device and you'll be set with your caffeine dose until that 2 p.m. slump sets in.

For most of us, caffeine has become part of the daily waking-up routine, usually in the form of a large mug of piping hot coffee. If you don’t get your daily two cups, you probably get a headache or just feel a little sluggish. Caffeine has become the go-to solution for that pesky 2 p.m. slump as well, sometimes in the form of Red Bull or other probably unhealthy energy drinks. While we generally don’t think of either of these options as particularly inconvenient, someone has come up with a quicker, faster, and no-coffee way to get your daily caffeine boost. The Aeroshot ($TBA) provides users with a portable dose of 100mg of caffeine (about the same as a large cup of coffee) via an aerosol burst of fine powder.

The tiny portable shot can be taken anywhere, no matter the temperature, and will even get through TSA security at the airport (or so they say). Users simply pull on the green end to open the shot, then gently puff in through the gray end to get six to eight smaller doses of caffeine per device. The fine powder released by the Aeroshot dissolves instantly in your mouth, and you can forget worrying about exactly how many calories are in that Venti Caramel Vanilla Latte — this dose of caffeine comes with zero calories. No word on price yet, and that might be the most important factor when it comes to converting caffeine addicts. If it’s comparable to a typical Starbucks drink order, then it would sure seem like a good alternative.

Michael J Lawler at 3:45am 28th October 2011 aerosols contain CFCs' which get into the atmosphere and is a source of chemicals that cause global warming that is already heating up the planet.
1. D00shbag at 7:46am 28th October 2011 You spray it down your throat. So the warming feeling you get may cause flatulence which in turn contains methane gas, a hydrocarbon compound that will cause the extinction of life as we know it if gone unchecked. The only remedy would be to ignite the flatulence to burn off the hydrocarbons as it escapes from your body, however that will cause super heated air which in turn may cause more global harm than just spraying the Aeroshot into the air. I guess we're screwed. I wonder how much global warming we cause by plugging the coffee pot in?
