Entrepreneurs selling bottled fresh air from the Canadian Rockies

An Alberta, Canada, startup has begun selling air straight from Banff and Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies.

Entrepreneurs Troy Paquette and Moses Lam say they originally had only joked about packaging fresh air and shipping it worldwide. According to CBC, they started with a Ziplock bag of "Banff air" and sold it on eBay for 99 cents. On their second attempt, the bag of air sold for $168 after a bidding war.

The two turned it into a business.

The company now uses bottles of compressed air and describes their product as the "next bottled water."

The bottles sell anywhere from $15 to $46 depending on size.
