Sales of canned oxygen to create fresh market for Seven-Eleven Japan

Japanese convenience store operator Seven-Eleven Japan has breathed fresh air into its product lineup by announcing it will add cans of oxygen to its shelves.



Each can contains enough oxygen for 35 two-second inhalations, meaning each can lasts for roughly a week if it is used five or six times a day.

The oxygen comes in two flavours: "strong mint" and "grapefruit" and will cost 600 yen a can, including consumption tax.
