According to a recent "Strange News" article on livescience.com, Snorting cocoa has been made so much easier. Yes, cocoa... in powder form, has been made more easily snortable thanks to Belgian chocolatier, Dominique Persoone and his chocolate line company. Based off of his Grandfathers old sniffing device which he would use to assist in snorting other non-chocolate substances, Persoone developed his very own chocolate shooter with two spoons that shoot using springs. While the ability to distinguish flavors by taste is very limited, the human nose can apparently detect up to 1 trillion distinct scents and considering this, this cocoa-head has sold over 25,000 of these things. Along with chocolate powder, Persoone and his colleagues provide jars of dry mint and ginger powders to help open the nostrils so the good stuff can get up in there. This whole idea was originally intended to be a joke for a Rolling stones party Persoone and his people were catering but blew up to be far more popular. And though many "science people" like ear, nose, throat and sinus specialist, Dr. Joshephson in NYC believe that snorting foreign powders or substances like drugs and chocolate is "dangerous" or "damaging," I'm sure there are far more scientific studies to suggest that they're just hatin. Google it. In his own words, Persoone states that consuming chocolate releases chemicicals in the brain that produces feelings similar to the ones felt "after an orgasm."... his words and he also makes it clear that his device is just for fun and that he does not condone drug use. so what if hes in love with the cocoa?
