The second gimmick or scam to be brought to my attention recently, is the Power Balance Band (or bracelet), brought to you by the almighty Hogwarts! errr, I mean Power Balance!
This has to be the biggest and BEST scam to have taken hold of the general population in decades.
It’s not only the fact that it’s a pile of cockamamy bullsh*t, but it’s an EXPENSIVE one at that.
Introducing the Power Balance Band
Direct from the horses mouth, this is what the Power Balance Band is:
Power Balance is Performance Technology designed to work with your body’s natural energy field. Founded by athletes, Power Balance is a favorite among elite athletes for whom balance, strength and flexibility are important.
Ok so I don’t really understand it JUST yet. What does The Power Balance Band claim to do?
Power Balance is based on the idea of optimizing the body’s natural energy flow, similar to concepts behind many Eastern philosophies. The hologram in Power Balance is designed to resonate with and respond to the natural energy field of the body.”
So what you’re saying is, that you’ve invented something which you can’t really explain. Harry Potter would be fricken proud.
So what’s The Power Balance Band made of?
10% plastic and 90% magic pixie dust.
Ok, so they won’t tell us what it’s REALLY made of.
And rightly so, it’s a weapon of freakin magical destruction baby!
If the secret got out, Bin-Laden would be all over that sh*t like white on rice—mass-producing millions of the little blighters for the Taliban.
How the funk-and-wagnall could the World Police™ stop an army of Power Balance wearing suicide bombers!?
That’s right, they couldn’t.
Even a legion of Peter Pan’s couldn’t save us.
Why is The Power Balance Band the BIGGEST scam?
Because they are being sold for 60 bucks.
Not only that, but you have high-profile footballers being paid to wear them as well as a number of other athletes who claim this little rubber band is going to win them their next gold medal in the art of long distance bullsh*t.
60 bucks sounds reasonable. Sign me up!
Are you not listening?
If you’ve been fooled by the Power Band and claim that it works due to your own real-world tests, it’s because the power of placebo has gripped you by the jingly bits.
80 year old joyce quoted on Today Tonight wouldn’t lie… or would she?!
Mmmmmm…..truth time! I ‘bought’ into this product when it was given to me and got out there at Body Balance thinking I was going to be some yoga type guru….with flexibility, power and balance. Verdict – let’s just say I am yet to embrace the band again! I think the only band we’ve got going here is the bandwagon!
OMgeee – so many people at Elixr wear this band. Ridiculous.
This is as bad as chinese “Rhino Horn”… So a man thinks, so he is!
