Notting Hill’s Clean Eating Farmacy Sells Syringes of Health at Selfridges | Eater London

"A high-end department-store food hall on Oxford Street hosted a pop-up healthy-shot bar from 8 January to 15 February 2018 during normal hours, emphasizing visual spectacle by serving herbal remedies in syringes. Most offerings were recipes sourced from the visiting restaurant and priced at £6 each; a venue-exclusive shot named Healthridges combined colloidal silver, oregano oil, black seed oil, wild-harvested bluegreen algae and orange flower water and was marketed as a remedy for colds. Commentators pointed out that the £6 price point buys as many as 16 cold-and-flu capsules elsewhere, suggesting the attraction is as much about the gilded shopping-location experience and Instagrammability as about therapeutic value, a trend that has drawn both lifestyle acclaim and scepticism." - James Hansen
