I am the same way.....my eyes go straight to the fine print. The saying holds true...."if it sounds too good.....it probably is"

Caveat emptor, TIMMYTALES, let the buyer beware. It is so easy to get
sucked in by marketing, kids especially just eat that stuff up, but I guess the trick as I get older I've learned to read the fine print, very very carefully.

TIMMYTALES, I think that at my age it is all a lost cause and what will be will be. But, I still love watching that stuff and dreaming that I could get back to what I was at 20. LOL

Ohmy!
I've never looked for the small print on an info-mercial. However, I can't wait to see one of these weight loss-mericals again so that I can see the notation you're talking about. What a hoot!!!

It means the people in the ads had plastic surgery
and never used that product a day in their life!

They always find those people who will have the kind of body
that starts out cut and ripped and stays that way, even if they do nothing more than drink Jack Daniels and Cheetohs for the rest of their lives. The rest of us blast our abs and they become an ab.

That's why it's in fine print, so nobody can really see it
And then they would know that the product doesn't work. Whatever happened to truth in advertising?
