Gordon Bombay Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 I know theres bowling alley in here now but is there stilll any good stuff being sold in here? I remember they used to sell merchandise from some awesome bands like CKY. Are they still selling anything good? Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 I don't know if you noticed it or not, but they have an oxygen bar in the front window. I may try it some time just out of curiosity. Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted July 1, 2005 Author Posted July 1, 2005 Yeah I saw it, but what is the point? Breathing flavored air? I can do that for free with a candle. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 What you have to understand is that the air your breath is something along the lines of 60% oxygen. The other 40% is other naturally occuring gasses and pollution. I think they shoot you with a 90% oxygen mix which gives you a buzz. They're really popular on the west coast. Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted July 1, 2005 Author Posted July 1, 2005 So its like getting high legally? I know its nothing with narcotics but I guess the 90% oxygen feels good to breath? Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 From what I take of it, it's like the opposite of being drunk. As opposed to being groggy and slow, you're energetic and alert. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 Unlikely. If it had any of the negative effects or addictive traits of cocaine, the FDA would put an end to the whole industry in a heartbeat. Quote
erniebald57 Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 Obviously Oxygen bars don't get people that high. That's why they exist pretty much nowhere else except the west coast. Maybe it's that the LA folks are so used to breathing smog that a huff of clean oxygen sends them to the moon. It's a novel experience, but that's about it. Quote
Reclaimer Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 I've always wanted to try it...mainly just for the novelty. Anyone know how much it is? And is there some restriction on it that you have to be 18 or anything? I don't see why there would be if it's just oxygen...but you never know. Quote
HelixSpiral Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 No restriction. Like Buddha said, it's just more oxygen per breath then one would get from breathing air. And what makes something addictive? Having to have it? I think oxygen qualifies. Quote

The other day, the guy in the Rock Shop said he THOUGHT it was $5/5 min, which sounds high (no pun intended), but I think that's the going rate at a lot of these places. Take this for what it's worth because the guy wasn't sure. Quote
TQZ Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 Here is a great article from the FDA about O2 bars. You should read it. http://www.fda.gov/fdac/features/2002/602_air.html Quote
