    Cool sculpting. I sit agape at all the cool sculpting commercials during Sunday news programs.

    It might work on skinny people that want to get rid of the last tablespoon of fat that they have. Definitely not a miracle procedure for people that need to lose more than that.

    The tights are made with microcapsules of caffeine built into the fabric. When your legs heat up, the caffeine activates and is supposed to increase your metabolism and burn fat. The manufacturers claim the wearer can lose two centimeters from their thighs and lessen the appearance of cellulite.

    I think I'll stick with my "silver" jogging suit!! ROFL :D:D

    I don't even get the premise of the shake weight. What could that possibly do? Or claim to do?

    There is a great South Park episode about shake weights. It's hilarious, and well worth searching for.

    I remember the silver/aluminum looking jogging suits that made people sweat but thankfully never owned one!

    A few people at my fitness center use them. Thankfully they're never there at the same time because They. Smell. Terrible. I couldn't handle more than one at a time. We also have a few who just get bundled up in sweats and hoodies to do the same thing, and they smell just as lovely.

    Every time I see a Sono Bello commercial my blood boils. They are selling liposuction like it's some miracle pill that will take off 50 lbs overnight with no effort! The "before and after" pictures are ridiculous. NO surgery or laser treatment makes that much of a difference. How do they not get shut down for fraudulent claims is beyond me.

    I used to have a job for a short time writing Google AdSense ads. I was given a list of keywords and had to come up with short ads that would entice people to click (seriously a fun job, if I could do it full time I would, I loved it, so easy but challenging to come up with unique ads that fit in the character limit too). I wrote quite a few Cool Sculpting ads. I didn't even know what it WAS, but I didn't have to, because the ads were all formulaic: "Interested in cool sculpting? $SearchEngine can help you find out more!" type formulas.

    After a number of those keywords popped up I got curious so I Googled it. Hard nope. Does not sound fun. I'd rather be fat, and I'm tired of being fat!

    I love a good terrible infomercial. One of the highlights of trips to America.

    Too true, my surprise with visiting the UK was the crazy topless phone sex commercials that show the girls talking on the phone and moving in some very suggestive motions. We have some of that here but not nearly as much.

    We must watch very different channels, ive never seen them and i live in the uk lol

    I remember it was late night tv and I was flipping through channels, my parents probably had a lot of channels(no naughty ones though) and this girl was on a bed on all fours holding the foot of the bed and had the phone to her ear talking in it and moving herself back and forth while trying to convince you to call. I remember thinking D@mn they would never show that *kitten* on regular tv here, I mean we have that stuff here but it was just racier there.

    Huh. I don't remember seeing any of those when I was in Ireland (Dublin) a few years back. Yeah, I know - it's Ireland, not Britain, but we got BBC (and a couple other British stations, IIRC) in our hotel room.

    Maybe they only show it at a certain time of night and only on a certain channel or two and I happened to come across it. Can't fathom it would ever be on BBC though

    Yea I look at that mouth exerciser and think...........you're just asking for people to put stuff in it.

    "Hey Ted, I bet you I can toss this grape in her mouth from here."

    Yes - put "stuff" in it. It looks creepily like a blow-up doll mouth (not that I've ever seen one of those - moving along).

    I have a friend who uses some vibration/massage machine at Planet Fitness and she actually thought it would assist in her weight loss because it's shaking her muscles. We had a bit of a heated discussion on the matter and I finally just quietly shook my head and walked away. You can't win some arguments but you truly do win because you are right.

    This EXACT scenario was the subject of an MTV video. I can't remember the song and can't google it because I'm at work.
