$24 dollars for about 150 breaths can, WTF.

Can't read the article. Blocked by a payment gateway.

If there is a market, why not?

Does it say where the air is being captured?

The joke is inescapable:

Mr Duchiera told News Corp the product is created by capturing clean air remotely from a few locations “off the beaten track and closed to the public”.

“It’s a bit of a secret, we remotely go out bush,” he said.

“We have air quality measuring devices we use to test the air and make sure we get the purest air we can.”

Consumers take in the air by using a face mask on the top of the can, which lasts for 140-160 breaths — or about nine to 10 minutes.

One can will retail for $23.99 and 12 cans will cost $179.99. The can and mask are both made from recyclable materials.

.... and we thought people selling bottled water were a bit cheeky.

To paraphrase P. T. Barnum, "The flux density of credulous customers corresponds to a time creation rate of one sixtieth per second."

Nothing new, the first company to sell canned fresh Australian air in China did it two years ago.

Anyone reminded of that awful Lorax movie? The CGI one?

Wow! I can breathe fresh Australian air every day for free

What is "the purest air", what does that mean, what are the metrics?

PTR_1275 · « **Reply #10 on:** March 21, 2019, 04:09:58 am »

And purest could be made by mixing nitrogen, oxygen and a few other gasses.

I’m now expecting the government to start taxing us on the air we breathe...

One could ask ... Where do you spend your time?

Are there any motor vehicles around? Industry? Coal fired power stations?

GopherT · « **Reply #12 on:** March 22, 2019, 02:51:11 am »

What difference does it make if there is a coal-fired power plant nearby? The outdoor air he breathes is still by definition, fresh Australian air. People in Beijing breathe fresh Chinese air every day (unless they are paying for stale Australian air in those old cans).

helius · « **Reply #13 on:** March 22, 2019, 03:03:55 am »

Of course there is no such thing as "stale air" like a stale cracker. Rooms that have not been properly aired become musty-smelling from the excretions of organisms, both micro and macroscopic. In recent years, they also amass plastic and glue byproducts that evaporate from synthetic materials.
I suppose that air from cans may lack the "freshness" of outdoor air, but much of that is the smell of ozone.

Wrong.

By definition, it is Australian air - but I won't expect anyone here will call it "fresh" - unless the wind is blowing from the other direction.

Ah ... So you're the one hoarding it!!

Hmm wonder if there is a market for northern Ontario air, I could start a business. Can charge a premium for the air captured during aurora borealis.

Bud · « **Reply #19 on:** March 22, 2019, 06:34:10 pm »

Or nothern Ontario grizzly bear organic poop. I am sure the Chinese will find a way to make a miracle medication out of it.

Red Squirrel · « **Reply #20 on:** March 22, 2019, 07:07:17 pm »

If I get it when it's still fresh it will even have blueberries in it for added taste. If I wait too long the squirrels get to them. I feel like this alone makes it some kind of delicacy that should be expensive.

Didn't they do some nuclear testing in the South Australian outback?

Gyro · « **Reply #22 on:** March 22, 2019, 09:32:52 pm »

I hope they realize that, by artificially lowering the air pressure in Australia and raising it in China, they're slowly going to import loads of sh*t air.

schmitt trigger · « **Reply #23 on:** March 22, 2019, 10:09:50 pm »

Pure Australian air, freshened with the delicate scent of kangaroo farts.

I mean, roos do fart, don't they?

something about pissing in the wind
