The Buzzaire Caffeine MDI

Filed under: not funny

Ok, we are posting on a Saturday, if only because this is too good (and may not be available come Monday). Via ThinkGeek, it's the Buzzaire Caffeine Metered Dose Inhaler:

One squeeze, one inhale, and you've just rushed 150mg of caffeine into your blood stream. Mints or drinks have to go through your digestive tract first before partying in your blood (or through your skin, in the case of caffeinated soap). But the lung/blood barrier is the fastest way (other than injection or IV) to get caffeine into your system. Not only will you get one heck of a rush, but you'll also freshen your breath! A hint of peppermint oil in each puff will give you a little extra perk with its peppy zing. Buzzaire can beat up your air!

Warning: Do not take more than 4 doses in a 24 hour period. Too much caffeine can be fatal. If any abnormal symptoms develop, please consult your doctor. Not to be used by children or pets.

The great thing is, this could actually help with asthma (caffeine and old standby theophylline are both methylxanthines). We've also calculated the LD50 at 60-70 puffs -- one cartridge could kill you!

As far as ThinkGeek offerings go, this beats the caffeinated soap and rivals the wireless extension cord...
