Ok

Thanks @mmapags. I put "woo" on your explanation just to be funny. But really, I'm glad I found that out. That expression isn't used in my part of Ohio. We would say "hooey" or "malarkey". But I got it now. Glad I wasn't only one to misinterpret that!

The staff chose to give the Woo button two meanings. If you find this confusion annoying, let them know in Forum Feedback.

Hey folks!!
Thank you to everyone who participated in our poll for a new reaction. We had a very clear winner.
The winning vote goes to... Woo!
Since Woo is a different type of reaction than anything we've enabled in the past, we're going to start this off in beta mode.
Woo can mean two things. You can click it both to mean woo as in woo-hoo or to express that you think an idea or approach is too good to be true.
We hope you enjoy the new reaction!!

It's a very clever (and effective!) marketing strategy by Braggs to sell their product, "with the mother." Their little pop up ads are everywhere, and they have gotten a lot of non-science-based bloggers to promote it.
ACV is great stuff--I make my own and use it extensively, but mostly for tasty food preparation and in the bath, and certainly NOT drinking it.
I generally focus on eating the most pleasant and tasty of things for my nutritional goals, like sauteed brussels sprouts with ACV and bacon, or pulled pork with a vinegar BBQ sauce. 
I've never seen a link go through to Bragg's. The ones I've seen are for Garcinia or whatever diet pills that use a picture of Bragg's.0 -

Not necessarily ads on this site, although if it had their branding I probably would assume it was Braggs because I never click on links. I do a lot of old school cooking and organic gardening so have seen them across many sites, and their tag line is ubiquitous. Or maybe it is just following me because I looked at them on Amazon. (puts on tin foil hat).2 -

Yes, the dictionary link is an example of how it got started. Woowoo got shortened to woo along the way. I was wondering who woo'd that!

For what it's worth, since I am a diabetic and some research has found it reduces blood sugar spikes, plus I already owned a jug and like the taste, I tried taking it with meals to see if it lowered my blood glucose readings. Results were mixed. It seemed to make a difference on some occasions and not others. Possibly it was coincidence. My final review is that if it does reduce glucose spikes, it's not consistent enough to rely on.
There was a second study on diabetics which found taking it with cheese in the evenings reduced morning readings. I haven't tried this because I don't want to spend my calories on evening cheese, and my morning readings are okay to begin with.1 -

I guess that would be true if one took some offense to the negative version. Personally, if I needed to have my ego massaged I could just look at the fact that I have over 2000 of the more positive responses like insightful, like or awesome and less than 90 woos. Even if everyone of the woos were negative, I'd say I feel that I'm making a positive contribution to the dialog on the forum overall.3 -
Woo is most commonly meant to imply pseudo science or misinformation.
However, according to MFP it's also intended to be used as "woo-hoo!" So unless you get a bunch of "woo" reactions (which is always negative) nobody knows. I think newbies tend to use it as "woo-hoo" and us cynical longer term users use it as "nothing to see but woo - move along now". I HATE that button.4 -

It helped kickstart my weightloss journey. It suppressed my appetite ,and I noticed a slight change in my clothing. I was able to start with mfp after 3 weeks of doing the vinegar thing, I then started and started counting cals.I still take it,but not daily now, only after I feel like ive gone a bit over my calories, or monday after the weekend , I always get a lot of woos when I speak on my experience with ACV, but it doesn't change what It did for me ,personally. And also I used it as a home remedy to get rid of my pilonidal cyst,for now, because those tend to come back. Braggs ACV has lots of beneficial properties. You should use it and draw your own conclusions though, if you want to. I know it's easier to go with what the popular kids are doing ,but still. You never know lol.14 -

If it actually works, why do you still have to count calories?4 -
I used to believe that ACV would make me loose weight, when it did have an impact, psychologically. I literally subconciously convinced myself "I'm not hungry because I took acv" and it worked that way. So calorie deficit, no magical properties of acv made me loose weight. If you apply the same principle to the water you'd have same effect.
I think most of us are deceived that weightoss needs to be painful and that's why it's easier to believe that injesting something so horrible on it's own must be working.
Nowadays I replaced acv with good 'ol black coffee.3
