Is Snorting Cocoa Powder Safe?

Apparently, you haven’t really tasted chocolate until you’ve snorted it. At least, that’s what a Belgian chocolatier is saying.

Dominique Persoone recently introduced the “chocolate shooter,” a catapult-like device that propels small amounts of cocoa powder and other spices into your nose.

“The chocolate goes up your nose and settles into your sinuses and oral factory where most of your tasting happens,” Mary Jean Dunsdon told HuffPost Canada. “Then you just kind of experience chocolate for a couple hours, actually, in a very subtle manner … It hits all the same pleasure receptors in the brain [as it would] if you were to eat chocolate.”

Of course, she says, everything in moderation.
