668.0. "TV "Miracle" Cure" by SWSEIS::WHALEN () Mon Jun 03 1991 21:33

    I just couldn't resist...
    
    While watching TV on Saturday AM a commercial came on for yet
    another "miracle" weight loss product.
    
    This on was called "MegaLoss".  It's a pill that you take and
    they claimed you can lose "up to 32 lbs a week".  ONE WEEK!  
    
    How can these people get away with such bull? I mean really,
    who the heck can lose 32 lbs in ONE WEEK -- ABSOLUTELY NOBODY!!
    
    Commercials like that drive me CRAZY.  All I can think about
    is some poor soul out there seeing that commercial and buying the
    product, thinking it's some new "miracle cure", and all they
    end up with is $20 LESS in their wallet, NOT on their waist!!
    
    Boy, these TV miracle cures for weightloss are REALLY getting
    out of control.
    
    Anyone else see the commercial?
