Heh. Over on The Daily Beast, there's a posttitled "L.A. Police Crack Down on Whippits" directing you to an article on the AP .
 
For those who might not know (there's at least one TDB commentor who didin't), the name refers to the whipped-cream bombs that restaurants use that charge with a small cylinder of nitrous oxide.
 
Anyway, i liked this opening to the TDB post:
 
Nitrous oxide is all the rage in Southern California. The drug, used by dentists as laughing gas and often referred to by kids as whippits, has evolved from a rave staple to a mainstream party favor, according to Los Angeles authorities, and has been the cause of numerous [...] car accidents [...] in recent years. ...
...and they weren't even inhaling it...
