The Week contest: Smog bottle
Last week's question: A British entrepreneur has begun selling $115 jars of English countryside air to wealthy residents of smog-choked Chinese cities. His product is called Aethaer, a Greek word for pure fresh air. If authorities in a polluted Chinese city were to bottle their own air and export it to the West, what brand name could they put on the jar?
