Oxygen in a Can
by Ami Kealoha
Oxygen bars are so '90s—did anyone really shell out 20 bucks for mint-flavored oxygen when you could have a breathtaking mojito for less than half that? But the world's most essential element is making a fashionable comeback. This time, in a can.
According to people who know their gas, a drop in the amount of oxygen in the body can result in yawning and sighing. These super-oxygenated concoctions seek to end these vile bodily functions once and for all (and ease hangovers) with a 95% oxygen concentration (compared to 21% in normal air), and an average lifespan of a week per can, if used up to six times a day. Oxygen inside the container is sprayed into a transparent plastic mask which comes attached to the can. The product, named O2 Supli is being tested in select Japanese markets and will make its debut at all 11,000 7-Eleven stores in Japan today, 14 June 2006, with two introductory flavors: grapefruit and, yes, mint.

Threadless Select
by SummerSeventySix
It looks like open-source t-shirt experts Threadless have stepped it up a gear, by introducing three new spin-off brands: TypeTees, Kids! and Select. I'm particularly into the last one, with four of the top designers on the site being asked to come up with slightly more luxurious, and expensive tees. Relatively expensive that is. They're still just $25 each, and the shiny Angels and Demons (pictured) by Justin Kay is my pick.
