Bottled 100 Percent Olympic Atmosphere for Sale on eBay

The atmosphere at London 2012, which athletes and commentators unanimously believe is the best in Olympic history, is to be bottled and sold by a few enterprising individuals.

Every day, incredible scenes at all the venues are seen as thousands of cheering and flag-waving fans get swept along by the Olympic euphoria and regular British success.

Doping Test
Doping tests are done to prevent unethical ways to win games since early 90s. Since then, many famous athletes were caught using steroids to win a sport and set a mark in history.

Bottles and jars have been appearing on eBay in the past few days purporting to be full of that rarefied Olympic atmosphere - some starting the bidding at 50 pounds.

In reality, they are just empty bottles of course, so bidders need an Olympic-sized amount of imagination.

One listing on Thursday today by seller 'Iomste' entitled 'London 2012 Olympics Bottled atmosphere' had a starting bid of 49.99 pounds and a Buy it now price of 99.99 pounds.

The seller promised to donate a percentage of the proceeds to charity though.

Fashion Critics Not Impressed by Display in London Olympics
Fashionistas keeping a keen eye on the London Olympics would have been disappointed with critics giving mixed reactions to various outfits on display.

But a jar of the 'atmosphere' at the Eton Dorney rowing venue when Heather Stanning and Helen Glover were cheered on to victory last Wednesday did receive a bid.

The item, described as '100 percent Olympic atmosphere - GB'S FIRST GOLD MEDAL!' by seller 'jasmin-sally' sold for 5 pounds.

Short Duration Attracts Women to Watching Olympics
Short durations and “feminine” appearance are the reasons why women are more likely to watch sporting events such as Olympics instead of season-long sports, a new study reveals.

The listing featured a picture of the jar being held up in the stands above the rowing course and the description reads "What better way to remember this day forever than a collection of actual atmosphere from one of GB's most important moments?"

The 'bottled atmosphere' isn't the first time eBay sellers have sold thin air - user 'bjornb17' bought an 'air guitar' for 5 dollars in 2008 and was sent an empty crate.
