What inspires this post was something our Secretary saw yesterday. Pinterest. Pin claims, "Lazy Way to Lose Weight: Cinnamon, Honey and Water". She clicks the link, which reads, "This is an extremely lazy way to lose weight. It burns hundreds of calories even if you are just sitting down on your computer and doing nothing. It also increases your metabolism which aids in weight loss."
Uh-huh.
Note the claims AND awkward sentence structure and errors (not the only ones on the website). What if I do not want to just sit down on my computer and do nothing?
She reads the recipe...and then the comments. Ohhhh, the Comments. The Comments, which we all love, had a remark (which we cannot find now) stating something to the effect of, 'This is B.S. The only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than one takes in.' The reply from the man who posted the initial post was, 'This is a tool to help people with their weight loss.' or something like that. There may have also been a comment stating that if people eat right, they will lose weight with or without this concoction. (It may have been the same post as the first comment mentioned). IF there was a reply, it may have been along the lines (from the guy who posted the initial post), that of course people need to eat right and exercise; this is just a tool to help with weight loss.
WAIT!! NO!!
The Pin said this was the lazy way to lose weight and the post said the reader could burn hundreds [PLURAL!] of calories even if he or she is just sitting down on his or her computer. This either works as it said, or it doesn't.
The question was asked, 'Does this really work'? The reply of the original poster was, "People have report [sic] success."
Straight up scam? Bait and switch? The man also hocks vitamin supplements to aid in weight loss AND an anti-wrinkle cream that claims to make the wearer look 10 years younger.
Uh-huh.
This guy has quite a bit of ways to contact him online. He may or may not have his own webpage (we're not sure), which makes him look like a typical minister (he's not one) and reads POORLY, like he's written a resume to get a job, but, he does not have a lot of experience or other jobs did not go well but he's trying not to show that. The wording is awkward and vague.
The photographs...can we really believe that in 19 days, a woman went from having a full face and a double chin to a taut face? (The two photographs are dated 19 days apart, but, the title says the results were just 13 days later.) Or how about a woman claiming to have gone from a size 3X to a size 4 in 7 months? Have we mentioned how unprofessional the website looks? And the shady links and adverts on it?
Needless to say, when Cheers POS makes a claim, we will stick to it. We have said it before and we will say it again: we know Cheers POS is a specialized product and we do not advertise it to everybody because the general public does not need it. We do not even advertise it to retailers outside of liquor store owners: you try to pull everybody on the boat with you and you all drown.
We back up our product, not because we need to sell it, but, because it works!
It works ringing up alcohol. Which is good for making drinks.
Drinks such as:
