i am tired of seeing this ad of the rotting banana. I was suckered in once to see what it was about until it asked for credit card info. Really?! I have tp payfor you to just tell me 5 things?
Look how easy it is to post the list.
These are co pletely made up
1 rasnanaberries
2 cheesettuce
3 yoging
4 chocogum
5 salmark

See, a list of five things is all i wanted to see when i clicked on that link.

Anyone care to elaborate on what it is this is advertising?

    Oh gosh, I tried the salmark diet last year and my breath was just knocking people over. I do not recommend.

    I would be happy to give you a list of five foods you should never eat:

    1. Lard
    2. Pork Rinds (This one is on principle)
    3. Fugu (aka Pufferfish)
    4. Amanitin (a type of wild mushroom)
    5. Farmed Salmon

    What's wrong with Fugu. That should be you should never eat from from someone who has never prepared it before. It is quite low cal and high in protein. I also do eat farmed salmon.

    I forgot all about that ad. I actually clicked on it once too because I was curious at what they claimed to be food that you should never eat.

    I would say... things you should never eat....

    Things are very allergic to.
    Things that you think taste nasty
    Poisonous things

    That is all I can think of right now.

    Also, you should invest in an adblocker.

    is this mushroom a magic mushroom? or the poisonous kind? i'd eat it if it were a magic mushroom!

    The ads are the price we pay for this site being free. One of the scuba forums I belong to offers the choice of becoming a sponsoring member for a couple of $$ per month & the ads disappear.

    What I find bizarre are the Dove chocolate ads that show up on the right side of the screen. Really? How much of that do you really think you'll sell on a weight loss site!

    Its a scam,
    you give them your credit card details.
    And in return end up with several viruses and a large, very unusual credit card bill..
    DO NOT give them your details.
    Unless you want to spend the next month explaining to your bank why they should believe that it wasnt you who bought these things.

    I've heard about this rotten banana a few times but I never see it. I always get creepy google spy ads from things I've looked at on Amazon or typed in my search bar.

    Y'all must be looking up rotten bananas. ;)

    I know this is not from the actual ad, but on Livestrong.com they have their own opinion of "5 foods never to eat to get rid of belly fat ." (Bananas, rotten or otherwise, are not mentioned!) Yes you just go to this page, and the 5 foods are listed, including reasons why, and healthy alternative for each. No ads or million-clicking to get the info: http://www.livestrong.com/article/406531-five-foods-not-to-eat-to-drop-belly-fat/
