It added: “The money-back guarantee, however, did work. The only power this bracelet seems to have, placebo effect notwithstanding, is in tipping its distributor’s bank balance well and truly into the black – they’re reportedly raking it in. So, if a fool and his money are soon parted, there are apparently plenty of fools out there – and they’re all conveniently identified with a rubber band bracelet. If you see one, offer to sell them a bridge.” 6 user comments Oldest firstNewest firstBest rated

We have Truth in Advertising laws in Australia to help protect the gullible. For example Tetley Tea can't make unsubstantiated claims about antioxidants in Australian advertisements. Pity they don't take on the lotteries commission over the disproportionate number of winners shown in their TV ads -could it be because of the revenue the government receives from gambling?

Shaquille O'Neal, Drew Brees and many other successful sportsmen endorse Power Balance wristbands. Power Balance wristbands, which have been bought by millions of consumers, have earned testimonials claiming the product makes them better athletes. However, Power Balance was ordered by a courtroom in Australia to make clear the fact that no science could be offered to support the company's performance enhancement claims about its product. parentLogin or register to post comments posted by Rhina M [1 posts] 10th January 2011 - 6:46 Like (2)	Search this site: Today's top stories
