Most embarrassing diet/exercise product you've ever bought?

I think all of us have probably done this walk of shame... bought the diet pill/product/supplement that didn't work. Or that special piece of exercise equipment that would change everything....and didn't.

What's your confession?

I remember doing some weird powder that you were supposed to sprinkle on your food...there were different kinds for sweet stuff and savory stuff....and it was supposed to make you fill up faster and feel fuller?

Does anyone know what the hell I'm talking about? LOLOLOL. I can't remember!

You were supposed to lose 30 pounds in six months.

The government got a big fraud settlement and paid the people who bought it....I got a settlement check in the mail like two years after I tried it.

Sensa! It was Sensa!

Well I didn't actually buy it, my mama did. She's been dead 15 years so it doesn't hurt to rat her out. Back in the late 50s-60s there was an item called Ayds. It was a caramel type diet candy. You chewed 1 up, after 20 minutes you drank a cup of warmish, almost hot water, no tea, no coffee, just warm bland water.After 30 more minutes you could eat a meal. The theory was the candy expanded in your stomach and you wouldn't eat as much. She spent,$10 of Daddy's hard earned money on this, a box about the size of a candy covered cherry box. Made the manufacturers pockets full and a lot of people's wallets thinner.?

Oh, my heck!! My mother had these. This brings back a lot of memories.

Lol. This is great.

I had a gazelle in the day too but I loved mine.

I bought Slim Quick pills. Didn’t do a darn thing for me.

The Gazelle! Sounds fun, doesn't it? I mean...look at that guy smiling! I had one. God help me.
