@saintajax33 I believe those are specifically for tourists in places like Cuzco who are unused to the altitude. But certainly they'd sell us the air we breath if they thought they could get away with it.

@avon_deer @saintajax33 I started seeing those around when the pandemic went into full swing, was always curious about them but never bought one.

@RabbaRab @avon_deer the altitude thing makes sense, but I nowhere that high up.

@saintajax33 @RabbaRab Yes..at lower altitude cities it IS basically just a gimmick.

@saintajax33 @RabbaRab i have never been to Bolivia or Peru but I suspect if I did I'd prefer the local remedy for altitude sickness; cocaine tea.
