Pink diet patch: marketing cute to get sales
The overtly cute marketing caught my attention for weight control patch called the Pink Diet Patch. The Pink Diet Patch is marketed to younger women looking to lose weight discretely with the application of an herbal pink patch.
What's in the Pink patch? A strange brew. Fucus Vesiculosus (a seaweed), 5-HTP (a neurotransmitter), Guarana (a source of caffeine for some soft drinks), Zinc Pyruvate, Yerba Mate, Flaxseed Oil, Lecithin, L-Carnitine.
I can't say anything about the efficacy, but it's really irksome to see their promotional materials using incredibly skinny models and statements that it can work miracles far beyond dropping pounds:
Don't pretend you don't know about the tragedies that can befall women later in life. Protect yourself and be one less victim! Put on the Pink Patch, and you can reduce your chances of getting breast and ovarian cancers, boost your immune system, and cleanse your liver and kidneys. That's it! That's all you have to do. That's Pretty with Pink
Does this bother anyone else or do I need to take a chill patch?

It doesn't work!!! Waste of money!!! I have been on it for about a month & I do not feel any different. I'm still hungry & have cravings, probably more now than before. Spend the money you would be wasting on these patches & get a gym membership.

Hi i found the pop up for the pink patch on the side of facebook feeling really pleased that i found a away to lose weight aswel as eating right without any really hard work, i told my boyfriend as soon as i brough it being really pleased with myself and he looked it up and found a link at The Beauty Brains after reading it i was very worried and still am to this day, please girls if you want to lose weight save your money and go for a jog of a morning and do 50 sit ups a day losing weight is never as simple and stickin on a patch, Also they dont tell you what is inside of these patches they just say herble, and i didnt notice that as i was still to pleased with myself lol, dont be as silly as me as waste your money, and i am saying this without even trying the patch yet, but i know as soon as it comes through my door it will be going in my bin after what i have read about it
