whippits
Laughing gas cartridges
Whippits, also spelled whippets or whip-its, are small canisters of nitrous oxide intended for whipped cream dispensers but widely used as an inhalant to produce a brief, euphoric high.
Users typically discharge the gas into a balloon and inhale it, causing lightheadedness and giddiness lasting seconds to a minute.
Kids were doing whippits in the parking lot.
The practice carries risks including oxygen deprivation and frostbite to the mouth and lungs.
