Finally! An invention I’ve been waiting for – found at last!
Delivery of Caffeine Through an Inhalation Route
patent#: US 707801There’s nothing quite like the smell of coffee in the morning, but let’s face it – we don’t drink it for the flavor, we drink it for the caffeine. So why wait for coffee to brew when we can just snort the caffeine directly into our addicted little nostrils? I want to be caffeinated, and I want to be caffeinated NOW!
If you’ve ever worked in an office building, you’ve probably noticed how corporations are more that happy to provide their employees with free coffee, tea, cola beverages, etc. – anything with a healthy dose of stimulating jitter juice. This invention puts caffeine into an aerosol. So, productivity manager, why waste valuable office space on a kitchen, when you can just pipe the stuff directly into the climate control system?

I knew Texas was the promised land, but of all the cities . . . really God?
