$35/bottle fruit juice!

Not only woo, not only expensive woo, but multi-level marketing woo! But if you can't trust Deepak Chopra, who can you trust? ;)

I first heard about this Zrii crap on Penn & Teller's Bullshit show about MLM. One of the suckers who bought into selling the stuff mentioned some over-$100 price that escapes my memory for a "one month supply". A one month supply is apparently 4 bottles, bottles that looked about the same size as these individual 25 oz. bottles, sold at $35 a piece:

Even other woos are skeptical about this woo:

Over $4.50 per day (maybe a little cheaper if you by it by the four pack) for a slightly over 3 oz. daily serving of mostly pear and apple juice? If only I had this kind of marketing genius (and could live with the guilt) I'd be at the top of the *cough* pyramid scheme *cough*... *ahem* multi-level marketing business, and I'd be rich. :)

1. that's what gets me

it's easy to make money off the woos, but I can't do it, the guilt would get me.

5. I worked in a health food store and I told them those mega vitamins

were just giving them mega expensive urine and it didn't do a damned bit of good. Pill heads buy the most expensive pills they can get and will swear by all that is good and true that they're achieving truly superior health, cigarette cough and all.

My conscience is clear. People who insist on being stupid after being told the facts have to accept some responsibility.

2. Jeez, that makes my mother's favorite brand of woo, Juice Plus, seem

positively economical in comparison at only $40/month.

3. Heh

Put's Robert Tilton to shame.

4. ANYTHING associated with Chopra is BS!

6. Ah, the Mighty Chopra! >

7. Thanks! I enjoyed that show, too.

Loved the way the Zrii "internet marketer" (SALES REP!!!) tried to convince a mark to buy in.

"Don't focus so much on the product..."

Yep, because that's not what we're really selling. We're selling a pyramid scheme multi-level marketing opportunity so you can GET RICH WHILE WORKING AT HOME!!! If you have 15 levels of former friends and no longer taking your phone calls relatives who are even dumber than you are.

I was a little disappointed that they only featured "marketers" of dildos, fruit juice and that ManCave idiocy. I was hoping they would go after some of the biggies like Amway.

Must be that whole "lawsuit" thing...

8. The HEALTH RANGER doesn't like people scamming the folks that HE'S scamming.

This sounds a lot like the JuicePLUS pyramid scheme that some friends of ours (literally) bought into.
