The Wow Moment
You're walking through downtown and your phone buzzes: 'High particulate matter detected on your block - Burst arriving in 4 minutes with iron-chelating shot.' A sleek electric motorbike pulls up, the rider hands you a chilled bottle of ruby pomegranate juice, you drink it and feel an immediate energy boost knowing your body just got exactly what it needs to fight that specific air pollution - all before you even reached your next meeting.
