Visited the Himalayas lately? Lost tons (!) of weight?
Paid ANY attention to the latest in food(!) fads online?
Got the recipe?
A person can hardly open up any random commercial site without seeing somebody urging you to LOSE pounds and POUNDS and POUNDS of ugly, unwanted FAT. And how do you do this, you say.
Well, it’s the Pink Salt Trick, of course. Every one of these sales pitches purports to have the proven, simple means of restoring your svelte, pre-obesity figure using just three…or is it four…simple ingredients found in your very own pantry. Many of them will have little teaser videos in the background showing–sorta–these ingredients; some show apple cider vinegar, some have lemons being squeezed, sometimes there is ice water, there’s always Himalayan pink salt…but as far as the actual RECIPE goes…NADA. Testimonials abound, folks showing off their size 47 blue jeans, now abandoned for slinky, sequined hot pants. Husbands and/or wives rediscovering their pre-marital allure are a popular theme. Doctors and nurses are bowled over by the amazing changes in their now-unrecognizable patients. Neighbors and classmates beg for the secret to this amazing transformation, so, of course, the transformed confide to just the immediate world their secret, which is being suppressed by the evil weight-loss pharmaceutical industry–Quick ! get this right now before the site is taken down!
Has anyone ever actually seen or heard the recipe?
No. They get a recitation of the research, a recognition of the bona fides of the researchers, lamentations on the difficulties involved with getting the needed ingredients (Whatever happened to your pantry and the simple ingredients to be found there?) and combining them in exactly the proper way. Shots of researchers in laboratories, test tubes, microscopes. No recipe.
There IS, however, a wonderful opportunity to order vast quantities of this SECRET formula before the supply runs out or the Big Pharma Meanies close down the miracle operation of this amazon website. Quick! Quick! Order today.
I wanna know where they get all of the pix of FAT people who are transformed. Is this all being done with AI? (Don’t get me started on that terminology. Growing up on the farm, AI meant “artificial insemination” for the cows. We won’t go into that.)(Although somebody, for sure, is getting screwed here). Are the “after” pictures of the same people or are they ringers?
Apparently, this is either working so well that there are multiple secret recipes out there or the whole thing is becoming old news and there are new schemes appearing; the latest that I saw had to do with gelatin in the morning. Just think, JELLO as a weight-loss fad. With or without fruits or vegetables?
Warning! Do not take more of this stuff than prescribed or you will disappear…or your bank account will.
