Literally Inhale Your Food As Restaurant Serves Tastable Gas

Posted September 12, 2012 11:10 AM

From DVICE:

If you think a device that lets you inhale chocolate is strange, then here's some more strangeness for you. The concept of "inhaling food" is catching on, particularly with diners in Europe, and now one Canadian restaurant serves gases that "taste" like food, but without those pesky carbs, fats or calories.

Gives new life to the term Vaporware, or is that what they serve it on? Do you eat it with Pneutensils?

If somebody rips a good one can the place be sued for food poisoning?

I mean, c'mon, this a whole new Paradigm Shift (on the desert menu, btw).

Oh, when we first started, it was great, we received a government grant and loan, and everything was going smoothly, until.......

The government mandated us to be green and recycle our gas, first our business drop off a cliff,...ok, ok, we really didn't have much of a business, but then

then our grant money ran out.

then we defaulted on our loans

then we had to declare bankruptcy.

After I posted, I wanted to edit it and add:

"But after receiving all that government money and declaring bankruptcy and after a nice political donation to parties I won't mention,

After walking away from that, I now work for the DNC, heck I was even a speaking at the DNC convention."

But Admin, must of smelt that I was going political and so they sabotage so the site would go down, and I couldn't.

All just so I won't be able to post that political nonsense........cuz there are other forum for that, ya'h know.

.....sniff, sniff..... was that you?

did they really expect professional replys with a story like this?

An idea whose time has come is long overdue. Software companies have been promising vapourware for years. Or how about politicians' campaign promises? You hear them before they're elected and, afterwards, smell what they actually did whilst in office. Nothing new under the sun, except that much of it is done in the dark...
