Title: Stuff like this seriously shakes my faith in mankind.
Post by: Rictor on April 17, 2006, 11:48:17 pm
http://www.failedsuccess.com/index.php?/weblog/comments/canned_oxygen_flavored_air/

War, poverty and intolerance I can live with, even come to appreciate in a way. But canned air...

Canned air makes me wish death upon each and every person who entertains the thought of buying one. In a just world, every can would be filled with a cocktail of terminal dieseses and substances, from polio to sarin gas.

(and no, apparently this is not satire, even though the site made me suspiscous, since they seem to be selling (http://www.baro2.com/Shop/oxygen_cans.html) the stuff (http://www.thebigox.com/big_ox_oxygen_canned.htm) in Japan already)

I dunno, it's pretty dumb, but there are things I find dumber, and which make me hate people more than this does.

It is a sad, sad day when anything out of Spaceballs becomes reality.  What's next, a human-dog hybrid?  THE SHWARTZ!?!

I'm selling "canned" air.  It comes in a giant plastic bag that you tie around your head and keep it there for a while.

I never saw it spelled :p

Doesn't change that it's a monumentally stupid idea though.

"If it sells, it's not stupid."

But the people who buy it are.

I believe you're both wrong. It's spelled "Schwartz" as stated by the Wiki...

Quote from: Wikipedia Article
They are helped by the wise alien sage known as Yogurt (A parody of Yoda) and the mysterious power he possesses, called the Schwartz (parody of the Force; "Schwartz" is a common Ashkenazi Jewish surname).

This is a pretty smart idea on the company's part. There are plenty of fools who will pay good money for this stuff.

It's not air. It's oxygen.

It gets you high.

Listen to the ELO song, then you'll understand.

Isn't too much pure oxygen bad for health?

There is (was?) an Oxygen Bar (That sold actual oxygen to 'trendy wine bar' types) somewhere in central London...

London is the sort of place where people would buy oxygen, just to show how much money they could afford to piss away.

London is the sort of place where people would buy oxygen, just because they've never tried it before. :p

Holy crap, Ski Resorts will be selling this **** by the case!!  Forget Starbucks Coffee and a Red Bull vending machine at every entrance, have an OGO Bar in the lounge and sell OGO cans everywhere a cash register is placed!

Everything about a Ski Resort makes me roll my eyes, but I can truly honestly see this coming to the 'states ski resorts sooner than later, if it doesn't burn out immediately.

Hey... I've been to Wales, I know what air without car fumes tastes like (sheep, mostly)! And if I wanted to try pure oxygen, to be honest, I know a few ways of making my own, why pay? ;)

This is genius. Think about it people, if your average citizen is stupid enough to buy bottled water...

...then why not canned air? Its a multi-billion dollar industry in the making!
