Yea it's ridiculous. Obviously there are people making a lot of money off that stupid shit, but for every one, there's a thousand huge suckers.

Had to sit through the lies (friend of family) and even tried the stuff. The video w/the 'medical' endorsement was particularly hilarious. Just goes to show that there are always suckers out there...

I have gotten the acai blend at Jamba Juice, but only because it tastes good.

there is a guy at work that crams this stuff down everyone else's throats (the selling stuff, that is)

aMy grandpa had throat cancer, and he used to work where I do. the guy went so far as to say it could help cure his cancer. whatadick.

btw, My grandpa is mostly fine now, cancer is gone, but he did have a laryngectomy. his company also laid him off, but he's got work lined up, luckily.

My mother in law got suckered in to this bullshit and I was the asshole for laughing at it?

Our lesbian carpet munching neighbor sold this crap to her, at $30 a bottle and I was just curious what the active ingredients were I guess that she thought I was going to start getting all technical and trying to prove her wrong because she immediately went off on a tangent about, if I can spend $5 on a pack of cigarettes to help kill my self, I have no right to talk to her about this

I guess she felt guilty? I have no idea... All I know is that she pisses me the eff off because my mother in law has diabetes and really beleives that this stuff is going to cure her 100%

Maybe it will... but, she didn't have to be such a dyke about it

Ive never heard of MonaVie but I am familiar with Xango. AFAIK its the same crap. Xango is made with Mangosteen but they try to push it off like it has some life saving effects if you drink it, much like MonaVie.

Im not sure about MonaVie but Xango is approx $25/bottle. $100/case (4 per case)
