How much would you pay for nothing?

Tuesday 19th Aug, 2008 in: Other by Amy Stock

Well this very container of air could be yours for just £3.50!! The description on the packaging reads:
image
“Congratulations!

You have received the gift of nothing. Absolutely nothing.
This is the ultimate in minimalism. Less is more, more or less.

Nothing is precious. Nothing is simple. Nothing is sacred.

Open the pack and be enthralled when nothing happens.
Allow nothing to flow through your mind and calm your soul.
Savour the moment. Soon you’ll discover that nothing
really is so much better than something”
.

All for £3.50. Speechless really...needless to say we don’t subscribe to this worldview at schoolswork.co.uk!

Fascinating as a discussion starter though…

Wow, this could actually make a great topic for our youth group, genius.  Amazing what people can sell now days, gone are the days that buying a whoopee cushion was seen as a waste of money, now you can buy nothing for £3.50.
