Anybody know anything about this product? Just saw an ad on TV for
it. "Only" $19.95 for a 20 oz. can. (Of course they throw in a 2nd
can absolutely free). Just curious if anyone knows what the hell they
put in it to make it so miraculous that it's worth a buck an ounce
(well, $.50/ounce if you get the free can).

Was this commercial on Jerry Springer, or Speedvision? Just need to know
what type of product we're talking about here.

It was Speedvision I think. Definitely not Springer (I've got a
pretty good idea what's in the lube they sell during Springer).

Every time I see an ad or infomercial for this kind of bullshit additive
crap I can't help but be reminded of those flim-flam guys of the old west
that would roll into a town with their wagon, set up a little stage on Main
Street and start shuckin' and jivin' the local yokels with "DOCTOR
FEELGOOD'S ELIXER OF LIFE, guaranteed to fix whatever ails you; baldness,
warts, ingrown toenails, tuberclosis,etc. Some paid off rube in the crowd
would even provide unbiased testimony to the magical healing power they had
experienced. Just 6 bits a bottle, buy now get 1 free! It's the same stuff
now as it was over 100 years ago...SNAKE OIL!
Chuck,
Colo. A13
BTW -No, I'm not THAT old. Just old enough to have grown up watching
Gunsmoke, Bonanza, The Rifleman, and other such historically educational TV.

Watch your mouth, Chuck. That Snake Oil, as you referred to it, cured my
insanity and my baldness!

As I recall, carpetbaggers were (are) also a kind of con-man that move
around from place to place (originally post Civil War era) and exploit
unstable local politics to obtain temporary positions of power so as to
embezzle money and/or other booty, then sneak away with the goodies stashed
in luggage made of decorative rug like material. Nowadays, this kind of
scoundrel is known as a CLINTON!
