The recent outbreak of new variants of the coronavirus in the UK has led to more than 40 countries imposing a travel ban on the nation, resulting in many British nationals being unable to return home.
In light of this observation, My Baggage, a relocation company based in the UK, has recently launched the “bottled air” which allows customers to relieve their nostalgia by breathing in the air of their home country.
According to CNN, My Baggage is currently selling “authentic” air from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, to provide Brits overseas to enjoy the scent of home.
Each 500 ml air bottle is priced at £25 (S$45).
A bottle will come with a cork stopper so that people can enjoy the scent of home at any time.
What’s more? The company also offers a customised service where people can request a location and the company will go to the specified location to fill the bottles and deliver them to you.
My Baggage said that they once met a customer from Wales who requested a sample of air from the mountainous region of Snowdonia Mountains in northern Wales.
Special limited edition bottles featuring air taken from the London Underground or a fish and chip shop in Norfolk are also available.
Wonder if they have a “London Homeless Bum’s Bum.”
Or the men’s room at Howard’s Club H in BG, Ohio. The gnats in there were so thick they flew in formation...just like Ziggy Zoomba’s. Yuk!
My idea of a bad men’s room is the kind that one has to pass gas in to make it smell better.
I recently watched a mid-50s movie “We’re No Angles”. It’s a comedy but nevertheless, Humphery Bogart’s character was in prison on Devil’s Island for fraud. One of his offenses was selling bottles of air.
Is the company’s CEO named Skroob?
Just wondering.
I bought a bag of air yesterday. The company that made it was kind enough to also put some potato chips in it.
This is right out of “Spaceballs”.
This is right out of “Spaceballs”.
If you’re livin’ in a bubble and you haven’t got a care
Well, you’re gonna be in trouble ‘cause we’re gonna steal your air
‘Cause what you got is what we need and all we do is dirty deeds
We’re the Spaceballs! Watch out, ‘cause we’re the Spaceballs
When I lived in NC, I missed AZ so badly-I would have loved this.
A bottle will come with a cork stopper so that people can enjoy the scent of home at any time.

That is one of the greatest marketing lines I have read in years.

If you order within the next 10 minutes-—we will also send you a “Pet Rock”.
Try explaining this to the next TSA agent you encounter.....
