Remember when people were selling little vials of Mount St. Helen’s ash?

Now some business savvy folks are scooping up blobs of oil off the gulf’s beaches, bottling it and selling it. “Some” has reached prices as high as a thousand dollars!

A local charity, Horizon Relief, has stepped in and is selling bottles of the messy blob to raise money for local fisherman, oyster shuckers, deck hands, day laborers. They are calling them ‘Bottles of Hope’ and selling them as souvenirs. Smaller vials called ‘Vials of Opportunity’ can be acquired for $25 with the monies also going towards the same causes.

Horizon Relief is also selling smaller bottles, called “Vials of Opportunity” with $25 donations.
