In Spaceballs, one of the greatest movies ever made, Mel Brooks huffs canned air. The movie features a made up brand called "Perri-Air", but that doesn't mean canned air is fiction.




Today in China, billionaire Chen Guangbiao launched his line of canned air. Each can of "Good Person Chen Guangbiao" (that's the trademark!) canned air is priced at the equivalent of US$.80 and contains fresh air from Wuhe county in Anhui province and Taiwan.

Apparently, the billionaire has produced 100,000 cans and hopes to raise awareness about the importance of clean air—a good thing as many cities suffer from pollution.


In the photos below, Chen shows off his canned air and how to consume it.
