(Beijing, China) Since local air quality readings regularly show pollutants at 20 times recommended limits, it's not surprising that someone decided to start selling fresh air.
Chen Guangbiao, an entrepreneur worth $740 million … has started selling cans of fresh air for people to crack open and suck in.Heh.
They go for 5 yuan each [about 80 cents U.S.] and, according to one report, they come with atmospheric flavours including “pristine Tibet, post-industrial Taiwan and revolutionary Yan'an.” Presumably the “pristine Tibet” can smells ever so slightly of gunpowder.

While he might not (denied) have actually said it, P.T. Barnum did make a living off the notion that there is a sucker born a minute. Now, that was back when the world population was, what, a few billion, max? Now, they are born by the second. And, I see, someone is still capitalizing on the notion. :p
