Thursday, March 17, 2016, 11:57 AM - Just when you think you've seen it all. First there was snow for sale, then bottled air, followed by autumn leaves. Next up, a tourism company in Georgetown, Prince Edward Island will be selling cans of sand and fog.

Perry Gotell owns Tranquility Cove Adventures in the small town. He recently placed an order for 1,000 cans that will be filled with sand from a dredging project stock pile and not from the beach.

"People just want to take something home as a keepsake," Gotell told CBC. "We have a couple of cases of sand done already and it didn't even take a five gallon bucket. So what we're talking about is a very, very low amount of sand."

The cans of sand and fog will be sold at a price between $5 and $10. However, fog will be sold in smaller quantities. Gotell says he will be collecting the fog himself.

"On foggy days you'll see me down at the end of the wharf with my can arm," he told CBC. "We don't want to get it so that when they open up a can, that you can't see your way around a room."

The products are set to hit the market by mid-May.

The tourism company also offers deep sea fishing, starfish hunting and a private beach for weddings.
