sold on the shelf next to lemon heads and jolly joes: chocolate covered nitrogen bombs!
nitrogen is cheap and harmless, tasteless and odorless. not only is it safe, but it's the cheapest thing you can stuff a chocolate with besides air.
you can use the word "tonic" on the package and
maybe, "fresh". and for sure "100% Pure Nitrogen". it doesnt hurt you, so find find a way to express some benefit, as slight as it may be. put them in the yuppie candy section with the $4 bars.
image someone offer's you one- you'll try it! the excitement of 100% pure nitrogen in your mouth... covered with chocolate! what will it be like when you bite into it? i like to let mine dissolve slowly- it's such a weird feeling when it starts to leak!
i guess what im saying is, they're cheap and i'd buy them (long before id buy evian).

Helium would be more fun. |
|
| |
could the same be applied to medicine? i.e. nitroglycerin
capsules heart patients have to take. why couldn't we
invent airborne insulin or inhalable aspirin? |
|
| |
yea, the only advantage is that you might be able to make it sound exciting or healthy to put N2 into your mouth. at least it's more honest than subversively selling you plain air like Aero. WE GUARENTEE 100% pure Nitro. |
|
| |
N wouldnt feel any different in your mouth. but you might expect it to, and so believe it did. |
|
| |
same with helium, which is a good idea. but it would be more expensive than N without adding anything to the product except a more recognized gas. it might even hurt sales since people might expect to be able to talk funny, when a chocolate bar's dose of He would not be enough (unless it were pressurized- but i dont think you get much of a PSI into a chocolate cannister). |
|
| |
helium filled aeros would be cool
they could float around the room so you wouldn't lose them under things |
|
| |
Instead of chocolate-covered nitrogen, what about a ball of sugar glass filled with nitrous oxide? Hold it in your mouth until a hole melts in the glass, then hold it in a bit longer... |
|
| |
Except for being illegal, this could work. |
|
| |
uncle, i like your idea better than mine. a clear glass-looking sugar ball with NO2 would look sexy! it wouldnt be enough helium to float the sphere, but would it be enough NO2 to make you giggle? i never tried it. |
|
| |
I think an even better idea would be SOLID nitrogen dipped in chocolate. You know, kinda like a candy bar in the freezer. |
|
| |
Pressurise whatever gas you settle on just enough that the candy explodes once it melts for a while. It would be like PopRocks, but made of chocolate and with a larger cavity for the gas. |
|
| |
EXTREME chocolate sounds very timely, and I'm pretty sure there's a market share there for it, despite / due to the damage! But the scented air-filled chocolate bars could actually be marketable! Taste is largely scent and aromatherapy is the cachet of almost every new product anyway. |
|
| |
Methinks there is some confusion about various gases. Filling choc spheres with nitrous oxide could be immensly amusing, that being laughing gas. NO2 is not nitrous but nitric oxide. The latter is very toxic.On that note, for your worst enemies, try cyanide. The Final Solution now comes giftwrapped. |

How about a bar of frozen Hydrogen wraped in chocolate. "Best Served at 0 degrees Kelvin, new 'ABSOLUTE CHOCOLATE!'" |
|
| |
<pedantry degree=extreme field=scientific> That's "0 Kelvins", not "0 degrees Kelvin". </pedantry> |
|
| |
Actually wiml, Nick3 was addressing my friend Kelvin. So it should have read "Best Served at 0 degrees, Kelvin..." |
|
| |
apart from the fact that large amounts of helium can permanently damage your vocal chords, helium candy sounds good. "Try <insert name of helium snack product here>, they don't just melt in your mouth.... they float" |
|
| |
I'm sorry, no offence meant. |
|
| |
If the nitrogen were pressurized in the chocolate, you could eat them and throw them into your car engine, giving yourself 20 extra horse power in a few seconds. Cheaper than putting in a ten pound bottle of NOS i bet. |
|
| |
'Nitrogen' is not equal to 'Nitrous oxide', and it'd be a bugger to clean the melted and burned chocolate out of the engine... |
|
| |
what if you make a really thin chocolate shell, and fill it with helium, then it would float around the room. Gravitiless chocolate, wouldn't that be fun!!! |
|
| |
This is so old! Nitrogen has been used with foodstuffs for a long time. |
