Thread: The "Its not for everyone" ad

Im skimming through Muscular Development and keep coming across this type of advertising.
"Not for everyone" or "Only take 1/2 serving because you might not be able to handle a full serving". What kind of bullshit is this? I'll tell you what kind. The clever marketing people behind these supplement company's try to make you think that if they tell you that you should only take half of the serving or that women and children should not use it you will think that its really powerful and dangerous stuff. OnE ad promoting some caffeine laced fat burner even has this in bold print, "YOU'VE BEEN WARNED"

There's nothing to be warned about with all of these supplement besides the fact that the warning should actually be WARNING YOUR ABOUT TO LOSE $50.00 OF YOUR MONEY"

Expensive health complications. Stimulants are a huge and disgusting market.

No $hit. I especially liked the outrage when Ephedra was pulled from the supplement (especially "diet pill") market, with people whining that it was "safe." Obviously they never saw someone in the ER with a tachyarrhythmia from it.

I concur with you Alex.

id like to add on to this post by adding from my other post- warning this contains ingredients that may ........ in the state of California.

What the hell is up with that anyway.

CA has some very odd regulations about certain ingredients, so manufacturers have to put warning labels on stuff. Since suppliers are not going to have special labels on products shipped to CA, the whole country gets to see them. Isn't there a "State of California" warning on alcoholic beverages saying that they can cause fetal abnormalities?

Im not sure, but curious as to why the other states would not follow the same guidelines? I do however like the fact that since Im in NJ, Im immune from those warnings
