Sauna Belt


I was flipping channels when I came across TVC and saw some very funny products. One of them was ' Sauna Belt' ...

LOL !

"Want to lose weight or inches quickly that to without any pills, Lotions & creams ! Seems like a dream! Not anymore. TVC presents Sauna Belt a convenient, comfortable and personalized way of losing that unwanted fat & flab in the confines of your home. An absolutely easy and effective way of reducing body measurement, not in months weeks or days but in one hour. "
The ad was very funny....according to which you can have a flat stomach ( even a six pack) by just using the sauna belt ! The claims were ridiculous. There was free offer with the belt - something called DAANT PARI - what a tacky name ! ROFL !

Then V told me that he actually knew someone who bought this product to lose weight ! I din't know people could be so guillible !!!

Click on the TVC for some really silly products ( some are endorsed by stars of bygone eras).

We dont even need a belt to get a flat tummy.

We do it all the time especially when someone takes a fotograph. Just one deep breath, and hold-on to the breath till someone finishes taking the picture and Voila! you got a flat tummy in the fotograph atleast :)

These people and their weight-losing inventions! That reminds me of a joke I read a long time ago in RD:

"I knew there had to be a catch to the new all you can eat diet. You are supposed to run 3000 miles everyday" - LOL :-D!

And LOL @ Pra's comment!

few years ago 'magnetic' pillows and 'magnetic' undergarments wer popularly sold - with the promise that they are great for health (dont remember the details ) and ultimately the hoax was exposed and some guys arrested.

Seriously, that shows how gullible people are!

Shilpa said...

Vivek,
yeah..they look like 2 different ppl most of the time !

SK,

Ashok,
i guess they would keep coming up with innocative names and techniques to dupe ppl !!!

Archana,

I suppose the bottom line is...when ppl r desperate..they would believe anything !

Archana said...

Rahul - did you check if that cream was acid or sth :-D??? LOL - I can't think of any other thing which will take pounds off your waist so instantly :-D!

Shilpa said...

i dont think that this crap actually works.If it was so then most of the obese would not have to put up with gymming,dieting,starvation........etc.It is probably just a money making tactic.
