There are several kinds of chemical oxygen generators. None of the common ones use peroxides, although potassium superoxide has been used. That's about as mad a science as an amateur might consider; from the cited page: "Potassium superoxide is
produced by burning molten potassium in an atmosphere of oxygen". The oxygen candle reagents of sodium chlorate and iron, however, are easily within
an amateur's reach.

Well as neat as it would be to capture some pure oxygen and successfully breathe it, I think I'll just burn something in it and watch how much faster
it burns. Seems a little safer!
...though I do like the idea of making a cotton wool plug doused in manganese dioxide, do you guys this that would be worth trying?

I don't really understand the whole point of the oxygen bars. In my attempt to understand them I once inflated a couple balloons with oxygen from a
cylinder and inhaled all of them... Didn't really feel anything to be quite honest. It tasted like ballon air and was not envigorating at all- it did
annoy me to have wasted oxygen though

Really? It's not hard. Tell a bunch of credulous half wits they'll benefit from breathing pure oxygen. Create a 'narrative' full of half truths, vague
analogies, syllogisms and other kernels to make them believe parting with their cash for O2 will be good for them. Set up a setting that reflects the
'narrative' well and make it 'trendy' and 'cool'. Now don't forget your magic marker, to mark up the 'product'. Advertise and make sure you're well
stocked!
