Step one: drink water. Step two: pee.

Yep this is a big one

Or change the order of chapters. Boggles the mind that something like this is legal.

Made in the same factories. The only difference is the name brand is stamped with the brand. The up charge you pay for is the company's marketing campaign.

They have vagina eggs, candles, steamers, etc; just need a crotch pot (vaginal crock-pot) and they can make a romantic 3 course meal while on the go!

Also, anything that says that you can lose weight without changing your diet habits or exercise habits. Weight loss is hard and it takes dedication!

Everything is a bloody subscription these days. I miss owning things.

Dude..... What do you expect? If there was a miracle drug that could actually burn fat, it would be known by the entire world...

Depends. Auto, life and home insurance are "wasteful".... until you need 'em. And then you're so frigging glad you're not out of pocket $75K for repairs after that storm blew a tree through your house and car, instead of the $20K you spent hte last 20 years paying premiums.

no-one pays to unlock the turn indicators on BMWs

PLOS has the same academic studies and is free. Scientific peer reviewed research.

They're the ones who put weights inside to make them heavier, to give the illusion that they're higher quality, right?

Yeah that one was utter corporate b******t

And the washed-up, has been sports "legends" that advertise them.

What even are sea monkeys? Some of my friends had them, but I never did. They seemed cool, though.

Without a doubt.

The picture does not fit. It should just be sugar as any useful ingredients that could for example come from herbs cannot be found anymore in homeopathic products

Going by the theory that water has a memory and the fact that all water on this planet has been recycled over and over again since the dawn of time passing through all plants, animals and what have you. They say it gets "stronger" the more diluted it gets (dunno how that works but anyway) by that rationality my tap water should have the cure for cancer in it as well as the cure for everything

"Western medicine is about making money. Not holistic medicine, that's about NAAATURE. That will be $233 please." - Miss Information, South Park.

Homeopathy is not a scam. Using it in place of medicine is. There are homeopath remedies that work.

Chiropractic should also be on this list.

The truth is in the name. Homeo = similar to. Pathy = suffering or disease. homeopathy = resembles suffering. This will make things worse.

This is a huge scam Nothing in homeopathy works

It's way too high a price for what is essentially a water-based tincture of water.

Its not a scam in India (yet, but some people just cannot benefit from certain homeopathic products coz genetics). So come here, buy the meds, travel all over Delhi for 2-3 days straight on a personal rickshaw, then go home, all for the same price at which you'd be buying the American meds.

I'm getting rid of McAfee. They tried to renew my subscription recently when it's not expired for another month. I keep getting popups for more security options. I just want an antivirus that works in the background and not have to think about it.

There was a Mythbusters episode where they try making a candle out of earwax. They discovered that earwax can't melt like candle wax because of all the dead skin cells. It wasn't mentioned on the show, but that would definitively prove that ear candles are a scam.

Be careful when drinking this. Rumor has it you'll go crazy and start mocking a corpse.

Non-negotiable Fried Turtle-turds are still very, very famous.

My elderly mother bought one when they were popular. I’d have to sit, withholding gales of laughter, as she’d be at her desk at the family business, repeatedly making rather obscene motions with this very phallic object. She was utterly oblivious and thought it was actually going to help her lose weight and build muscle XD

I have a news flash, most ALL toothpaste brands do this. To be honest it's how they work.

Does it hold your arms down so you can't use them for snacking? 🤔

AKA Corsets. The same things our grandmothers rebelled against, rejected, and just simply stopped wearing 100 years ago.

Just because it's not pharmaceutical doesn't mean it can't help. I've not used this, but I frequently use tiger balm which I find really affective.

These were sold tongue in cheek though. People who bought them got the joke. No one who bought them did so because they were marketed as something else.

Ah yes, the Fuel Shark™. A total scam.
