With all due respect to Emma I'm thinking more ENS 

 

When I think Emma, this comes to mind?

Is there a USN product that could make her love me or do I have to see a sangoma about that?

I'm a little bit conflicted on this one. Definitely great marketing/product placement skills. Pricing is also well structured - you can see they do their homework there.

 

The science behind it is very iffy for me. BUT if it's good enough for Martin Dreyer, BURRY (RIP) et al then it can't be that bad, surely? I know they pay the bills, but you can't perform at that level with sugar water.

CACTI-NEA™, IS A DEHYDRATED WATER EXTRACT FROM THE PRICKLY PEAR CACTUS FRUIT.

Seriously??? How do you get the dehydrated water hydrated again? Add some water?

 

I would love to see the rigorous scientific testing that went into this one... Probably the same department that did the power bands..

I really thought this was a joke and had to go to their website to check

 

Some extracts to confirm there is absolutely no benefit whatsoever to this product - in this case their marketing is quite clear on that fact:-

 

 

This cactus fruit ingredient is the perfect product to use in combination with other weight management formulations. 

 

POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF WATER SLIM PACKS

  • Refreshing drink
  • Contains Cacti-Nea TM

I wonder how genuine snake oil salesmen feel about being brought into all this by association...surely they have recourse to seek damages for reputational harm...

 

ChUkKy, that is cold..

Drink this dehydrated water to get thin and ripped.

Ripped may be an unfortunate choice of word...

It would certainly have been of it was followed by "off". But I don't want to be added as respondents 4 and 5...

Just had coffee with someone who has worked closely with the respondent in the suit over the years.

 

He provides a great service and his facts are solid...but what he doesn't do well is couch his criticism in the best way, ie, there are ways to say someone is lying without calling them a liar. The suit may have some success but it is unlikely to garner the damages claimed.
