When Win95 first came out, the big thing was to say your program was "for Windows". Really stupid programs were marketed and people bought them because they said "for Windows" on the box.

A buddy of mine wanted to market:

"Empty box for Windows"

I bought a Pro Football game back then that had a "Works with Windows 95!" sticker on the outside of the box.... When it didn't, I started looking through the technical support section of the manual only to find "If you encounter problems running the program under Win95 try it in DOS mode...."

'Buggers!

Hey. What so you all think? Would this be the next big seller? I even came up with some advertising stuff for it.

For a long add like a commercial I have this one.
"Ever been out of breath or just need a calming moment? Open up a box and take a deep breath of our fresh mountain air. You'll be feeling better in an instant!"

Another one describing the packaging.
"Each breath of fresh air comes with its own convenient carrying box you can take anywhere."

And for a quick reminder or tag line.
"A box of fresh air for when you really need it!"

I was thinking that it would be a snap to produce. All I need is someome who is able to make small cardboard boxes with the right art. Okay, okay. Maybe a cardboard box wouldn't be the best at holding the air in. Who cares? There will still be air in it when it hits the store. Maybe not the original air that is was formed around but air non the less.

Oh, so you think it is stupid do you. Well it isn't any dumber than a pet rock or bottled water that isn't even as pure as your tap water but costs 10 times as much. You think you could do better? Then come up with your own idea for the next big thing!

It has been done before. I remember seeing gag gift/souvenir canned mountain/country air while on family vacations in the 60's. You do have an interesting variation on it though because of the low production and shipping costs of a cardboard box.

Well since you asked Waldo, I've been working secretly in my Lab to create De-hydrated Water. Just add one Gallon of water to my De-hydrated mix, and you will soon have a Whole quart of Water to use.
