Power Balance

Does anyone know if the Power Balance products sold here in Singapore are different from those sold in Australia?

 

Interestingly, Power Balance Singapore is still claiming unsupported benefits of the hologram technology when Power Balance Australia has openly "corrected" their claims... selling different products???

In Australia, Power Balance has offered full refunds to consumers who felt they've been mislead.

 

I was looking around for some health gifts for my family but lucky for me, I did some homework surfing the net for more info about this seemingly wonderful gift (at that time). Now, I have to start looking again.

 

To those who has bought and really benefited from this so called new technology, I'm sincerely happy for you.

But to those who hasn't, I think we consumers have the right to know the truth instead of some unsubstantiated promises.

 

Unfortunately, CASE has no bite as to require correction of "inaccurate" marketing

To each their own... may all be well.

In the states many such "magical" products distributed by way of network marketing end up collapsing in huge lawsuits.

 

I notice that some products (automotive oil additives and "magical fuel savers in your fuel tank" included) then find their way here to Singapore and start selling like hotcakes because the market isn't aware of such scams yet.

 

These products have rave reviews thanks to the "placebo effect". If a professional con man told you to put condensed milk in your 2T to make your bike go faster, some actually do it and report the condensed milk makes the engine smoother. The only way to look past these seemingly attractive products is to identify the basic scientific principles that they are apparently based upon - then you notice how twisted and scientifically non plausible these moneymaking schemes are.

Well... stick it to your endcan and you'll "feel" an extra 100 ponnies... under your seat!

 

Remember...."feel" only hor....

 

Place_bo effect...lol!
