Bottled Fresh Air

DUPÉ sells bottled fresh air, as well as other products such as bottled moon light, positive thoughts, and "eco-friendly little rays of sunshine."






The site (and storefront) were part of a spoof campaign launched a few months ago by Yarra Valley Water, providers of tap water to the Melbourne area.

If you try to buy any of DUPÉ's fresh air, you get a message telling you: "Buying bottled air doesn't make sense. It's just like buying bottled water."

(Thanks to Patty on WU for the heads up about this).

When the company is literally named "dupe" you have to be fairly un-alert to think it's real.

The name, DUPÉ, is most likely pronounced "do pay" — probably a satire on the fact that bottled water is vastly more expensive than tap water.
