I'm not seeing how much each jar sells for, nor how many farts she pack into each jar, nor whether one can buy larger jars with more farts in them. I need to know these things before purchasing.
Otoh, one single fart of mine can fill up an entire room. Does she use some sort of shrink wrap tech?
Are farts heavier or lighter than air. If heavier, then bottling one would be fairly simple. Put something in the jar to absorb the odor, hold the jar under your ass and blow. But if farts are lighter than air, getting them to stay in the jar might be tricky. It may require an assistant. How's that for a job title - Fart Catcher. And then there might be Assistant Fart Catcher and Senior Fart Catcher.

Or worse, intern or trainee. Unpaid positions.

Since farts are primarily made of gas produced from decomposition of foods left in the lower intestine, and such gas is likely to be methane, primarily, and methane is lighter than air, I would surmise that farts are, in fact, lighter than air.
Note: that would be a relatively pure fart, not contaminated with the products of diarrhoea. Which, being moist, could weigh the fart gas down.
I seem to recall that someone somewhere sometime actually filled a balloon with fart gas and the balloon went up, not down.
... In general, however goofy or unpleasant it may sound, try to stay attuned to your toots. If you’re not processing lactose the same way you did as a kid, your farts will let you know after a few slices of pizza. Plus, particularly foul-smelling gas could also be an indicator of irritable bowel syndrome, celiac disease, or giardiasis; in this case, a doctor might help you develop an “elimination diet” to get to the root of the problem.
Meanwhile, flatulence can also be the sign of a healthy gut and balanced food choices. While fiber consumption does increase the build-up of gas and lead to farting throughout the day, keep in mind that regular farting is a good thing. It’s a sign that the digestive system is working. A diet rich in complex carbohydrates with fruits, vegetables and grains will give you a nice and diverse microbiome, alongside all sorts of other benefits (a healthier heart, a stimulated brain) that should supersede your fear of farting.
Remember: there are situations where farting will naturally become more common, like pregnancy, or old age (when you’re predisposed to more operations and illnesses that induce gas), or stressful events. It’s unfortunate, for that last one, that we’re at our gassiest when the stakes are at their highest, but “butterflies” in your stomach are actually a sign that gas production has ramped up in response to stress, anxiety or depression. The muscles in and around the stomach tense up, slowing down the entire digestive process.
One trick for keeping inopportune farting at bay — slow down while eating. The faster we eat, the more air comes down our gullets alongside the food. More air equals more gas. That’s another reason why carbonated beverages and chewing gum have also been linked to flatulence. The most important thing you can do, though, is embrace your farts. Let them out, take note if they smell absolutely insane (did you stress-eat last night?) and move on. It’s completely natural, much as we work to pretend that it isn’t. ...
Worker Andreas Flaten got paid, and did not have to clean the pennies.
Coinstar got priceless free advertising and can maybe write off its expenses.
Miles Walker is now nationally known as a petty cheat, liar and coward.
A OK Walker Luxury Autoworks has gotten incalcuable negative PR. Its "Contact Us" page is now blank, its yellowpages.com rating is 1 star and its Reviews appear to have been deleted except for "Pay in pennies!" accompanying a pic of dog shit with a coin in it.
A Georgia auto repair shop owner accused of dumping more than 90,000 oily pennies in a former worker’s driveway in a pay dispute last year is being sued for back wages, according to the U.S. Labor Department.
A federal complaint filed by the agency Dec. 30 accuses A OK Walker Autoworks owner Miles Walker of retaliating against the employee, who complained to the DOL when Walker gave him the runaround and refused to pay him after quitting the Peachtree City auto shop.
The department is seeking nearly $37,000 in back wages and liquidated damages from Walker after federal investigators say he violated overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act, authorities announced in a Jan. 5 news release.
The DOL’s Wage and Hour Division found that Walker failed to pay his employees “legally required overtime” when they worked a 40-hour-plus work week and did not “keep adequate and accurate records of employees’ pay rates and work hours,” according to the release....
Authorities said they hope the complaint deters Walker from retaliation and overtime violations in the future.
“By law, worker engagement with the U.S. Department of Labor is protected activity,” Steven Salazar, district director of the Wage and Hour Division in Atlanta, said in a statement. “Workers are entitled to receive information about their rights in the workplace and obtain the wages they earned without fear of harassment or intimidation.”
That was really stupid, but then most employers who refuse to pay OT are stupid. If he had just refused to pay, and the employee had filed a complaint with DOL, there would have been an investigation and the likely decision would have been the employer owes him some money - he could have paid it and been off with his sorry worthless life. But by acting the way he did, he could no longer claim "unintentional" violation and would be a "willful" violation, which includes an investigation that probes his ass all the way to where his heart would be, double back pay, and steep fines - all made worse because he probably pissed off the investigator too. Idiot.

The 1/5 article is short on details, but it sounds like owner Miles Walker's oily penny stupidity led to his also being busted for shorting other workers:
... The DOL’s Wage and Hour Division found that Walker failed to pay his employees “legally required overtime” when they worked a 40-hour-plus work week and did not “keep adequate and accurate records of employees’ pay rates and work hours,” according to the release....
