Nah, it tastes like children's cough syrup. Not good for much of anything.

I've been on a diet where I cut out carbs and fat, but I can eat all of the fiberglass insulation that I want. So far, so good!

The couple invested more than $2 million in a nightclub on San Antonio's famous River Walk.

Nightclubs and other cash businesses are an easy way to launder money. Mix up the finances between the club and your fake weight loss product and you'll be able to hide anything.

I see some other people are amazed at the $153 / bottle weight loss powder advertised on TV. Its my favorite one right now -- "Oh you don't want this if you're a little bit overweight. Plus you have to be committed to use it" Sold to people that think dollars equals quality. I love it!

I'm on the asbestos insulation plan. If it doesn't work out, I can always sue for my future health problems.

Body Solutions promised customers they could lose weight while they slept by taking the strawberry-flavored formula at night, three hours after eating. Government experts say the product was a sham.

DARN DARN DARN AND DOUBLE DARN!!! Sure wish someone would come up with a magic pill! LOL

I tried Atkins diet, and gained ten pounds in three weeks. But if it works for you! That is GREAT! I work out at the gym several times a week for two hours. And eat well rounded diet, without much fat. That works for me.

Now all of the radio jocks are promoting this air bed with dial up levels of comfort. My neighbor bought one because he had heard their testimonials and he said besides being very expensive, they don't support his back...its just sleeping on a hammock or floating pool rafts.

Sean Hannity was peddling this crap awhile back also...

Now if they'd only get rid of those friggin' herbal Viagra commercials before Billy Jeff swallows a bottle and ruins the carpet.

Or the ceiling.
