Ironic products.

Diet Coke. Yeah, like coke is something you should be drinking when on a diet! Healthy Options microwave meals. Last time I checked, microwave pre-prepared meals were anything but healthy!

...ok, so not a great thread, but I'm bored, can't sleep and weird stuff keeps popping into my head.

Got any more ironic products/services?

It effectively has 0 calories.

Artificial sweeteners. Probably worse for you than natural sugar.

Used because they contain few if any calories.

I always like to ponder how many musicians who have to play that kind of music for a living commit suicide every year.

Nearly the whole country has heard it at this stage!

But to answer your question I dont. I have only ever seen signs to the place and I have never met anyone who is a member!

I think you should check again, Ive seen plenty of 'healthy' microwave meals with no additves or preservatives.

weight watchers just use smaller slices of cake to keep the calories down.

there are alternative sweetners used(from nature) with fewer calories than sugar which arent bad for you.

the caffeine in diet coke helps with hunger but unless you are watching your calorie intake its not gonna help.

Automatic Soap Pump.

You know the ad on tv which says its great because 'you'll never have to touch a germy soap pump again'.

Well, what about the door handle, the toilet flush, the tap, etc?

AND you're washing your hands anyway so it doesn't matter!

(It should just be marketed as an eco-friendly device because it only allows one squirt of soap at a time, which stops people using too much, but the whole thing is over-engineered anyway, so thats also a stupid argument!)

Rant over.

As I have just really come to know, losing weight and healthy eating are not always the same thing tbh.
