WHAT THE HELL!!- Chocolate Snorting

[packman]

Man, I've lived too long





An Orlando-based company has just released a snortable chocolate compound called “Coco Loko” that is being marketed as a drug-free high, reports The Washington Post.

This new product is just the latest development in a larger trend, which began in Europe, of snorting cocoa powder. The trend started in up-scale, experimental restaurants, where chefs were experimenting with new ways to derive pleasure from foods.

These chefs soon discovered that snorting the powder caused a large rush of endorphins as well as a great deal of energy. In addition, the cocoa releases magnesium into your bloodstream, which relaxes your muscles.

Soon, people began designing compounds including other substances like mint in order to create a more sniffable powder. They also created a plastic canister designed to send the compound into your nostrils.

2. I'd be cautious of snorting it because of the caffeine

3. Cocoa does have caffeine, but only 12 mg in a tablespoon.

The amount in a "snort" of would be very small indeed.

4. Does Conan O'Brien know they're using "Coco"

You'd think they would have to pay royalties to Team CoCo on that!
