i think this idea is great. Im always amazed with the ideas that people come up with. It is so excited to see the possibilities.

lol it loks great

Hilarious! Thanks for making me collapse with laughter with this post.

Sheer lunacy. I cannot imagine that a healthy person needs an oxygen supplement.

What a great example of "green" consumerism. WOW.I should try marketing dirt...

Thanks for a humorous tidbit!

When water became a big seller, I knew air was next. Not a surprise at all, in fact I'm surprised it's taken this long!

I remember a cartoon in a MAD magazine back in the 70's depicting oxygen vending machines becoming commonplace. Seems that Al Jaffee wasn't just an artist, but a prophet. Scary.

I wonder how much CO2 was released to produce this product? and to get it to market and to dispose of the packaging...

i understand the need for oxygen. when i was in aspen recently a friend collapsed from the high altitude and needed air stat. he was taking oxygen puffs for the rest of the trip from a can. however, this is sheer marketing. wonder how it'll be accepted in places like aspen.

All hail president Scroob!

Anyone else remember the cans of Perriair from the movie Spaceballs?

Isn't this old news? I remember seeing canned air on the movie Space Balls.

Obviously, someone took that movie a little too seriously.

if i were mel brooks, i'd sue.

Anybody see the movie "Spaceballs"? They called it ;)

There is a marketing trend in our society toward purchasing safety. And instead of cleaning up The Commons for everyone, those who can afford it relieve their anxiety by buying branded water and air.

I guess this all points back to the marketing campaigns of the early industrial age. Had we had the chance to review some of their slogans, we'd probably either laugh or puke (depending) as to how we have enabled our corporations to run this world into the ground while cashing in -- royally I might say!

Please, dear western world, wake up to the fact that not each and every little grain of matter on this planet is designed to be uprooted for profit.

It has not made us happier. Had it fulfilled it's hollow promise, our capitalist / colonialist mindset had produced citizens which are far less bloodthirsty and at the same time oblivious to the sacrifice of absolutely countless, innocent others.

Every time someone heaps a portion on my plate that, if served in Europe, would have been gobbled up by a family of four, I know in my heart of hearts, that this is stolen from someone else.

Some other nation that produces for us but is not allowed to feed it's own.

I pray for our collective awakening.

Sounds useful for improvised rockets.

Its interesting to me how they relate to the fast food, bottled water thing. This could supprisingly be a very popular product.

I'm not sure what I find more hilarious: The canned air, or the fact that it comes in different scents. Apparently it's not enough to get a hit of O2; you need to smell the freshness as well.

I should cough into a jar and sell it as an immune system booster supplement. "Because you have completely sterilized your residence, and never leave your house, your immune system may not be getting the workout it demands."

I'd call them, "Cold Shots"

Ideal. Maybe I can sell air from Bethlehem.

I wonder if you could use it under water. Scubadiving with a can of air with a tast hehe.

Sean you should go for it canned dirt hehe. Dirt you can already buy in baggs.

Seem everything can be up for sell.

I wonder if they would allow these on airplanes? Seems more than a little dangerous, pure O2 is highly flammable.

That's really the only place I can imagine most people really wanting one of these, the air on large planes can seem extremely stale and oxygen-poor.

Now is there no longer any need to travel, spending money on tickets to places like Tahiti, Cozumel, Guilin-China, The Canadian Rockies, Aspen-Colorado, Shangri-la, and those other foolish tourist destinations just to get a breath of air. Now we can tap a can, tune in Tahiiti on the tube, and live the good clean life without getting out of that comforable recliner. Woo-boy! Now we are making progress. Think of all the fossil fuel you saved. But wait a minute, those planes are still going there anyway, but your conscience is clean, even if you have to spend part of the money you saved to upgrade your wardrobe to larger sizes.

The first poster just seems to be advertising their website on TH, is nothing sacred any more?

Hmmm, it seems the girl on the bike is already in a place where the air should be clean enough.

I heard 'they' release some extra oxygen into the rooms of casinos to keep people at the tables longer. Urban legend?

I am sure if you tried scuba diving with them, they'd just crush at anything under 20 feet deep.

I ride a bike under highways and next to standstill trafic in NYC every day. I got your air right heeeya !!

Good Luck!!

There really needs to be a government organization that prevents idiotic products like this from making it to market.

I can't imagine a company investing in developing a product like this. crazy.

can someone say; SPACEBALLS

Mel Brooks came up with this in the 1987 film Spaceballs. They we're literally sucking back cans of "Airrier" a spin on perrier.
finally my prayers have been answered

I am really surprised at all the negative reactions to this product. It is a fact that the air we breathe used to contain as much as 50% oxygen but is now around 22% due to pollution, ozone depletion, depletions of the rain forests, etc, etc... Our bodies are evolving to adapt to the changes but it doesn;t change the fact that we were designed to live on a higher oxygen concentration. This product is sed by athletes to train harder and not suffer from fatigue. Mountain climbers/bikers have been using it for years. It is an organic stress reliever, natural caffeine substitute, and has a very wide range of benefits for people in lots of areas. Why knock it? You get 22% poluted oxygen for free. 90% pure is gonna cost you but you wouldn't have to buy your advils, ceffeinated products, energy drinks, etc... and you would be inproving your health at the same time. Win-win as far as I can see.

When you hike, bike and ski at altitudes of 9500 to 11500 feet as we do, and realize that the oxygen content at those altitudes is about 50-60% that of sea level, bottled oxygen makes a lot of sense. Acute altitude sickness (which can occur at altitudes of only 9000) feet is immediately treated with oxygen.
Don't knock it if you haven't tried it!
