Why isn't anyone busting GNC's balls for selling snake oil supplements? GNC hasn’t won a Super Bowl..... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really?! Seems like your really hurting from the 20 years he dominated the Bills. Let it go. I did, 10 years ago. It is a bogus product for $45 a bottle. My intended meaning was "I would be less concerned about the issue" if it was for Charity. He wants to profiting off of people who are just to dumb to know better. It is not a Bills Fan thing Maybe it's just unfortunate timing.

WTF indeed. As in, “WTF is the big deal?” It's modern day snake oil. That makes it a bit of a big deal. I guess in today's climate, deceit has become a good thing?

I guess poor Tom just can't make it on he and his wife's salary neither is he. An immune booster falls well in line with the rest of the crap he sells, which all falls well in line with general health, wellness and fitness. Again, all sour grapes. Get over it.

It's snake oil. It's right up the alley of all his other TB12 products that have no scientific backing and plenty of criticisms from healthcare professionals and nutritionists. But you have to understand that people have different moral and ethical standards. They range from hyperindividualistic and hypercapitalistic to hypercollective and hypersocialistic with everything in between. We can see this spectrum right here in this thread. The main point is don't argue. It's pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're in the middle of a pandemic, people are nervous as states are reopening and ready or not, they must go back to work, and the guy just COINCIDENTALLY choses this time to market a $45 tub of a product labeled "PROTECT" that is said to "support a healthy immune response". I'm sure that's just a coincy-dink. I don't need to obsess in order to note that it appears unethical and misleading to me - regardless of who beat whom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDingus Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 He's like the Gwyneth Paltrow of the NFL. TB12 products are the equivalent of "Goop" products. I mean, if I was as poor as him, I'd resort to scamming people too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
