all 20 of your friends send you invites???
It seems like it would be rather easy to create a product as simple and easy to produce as these are, and sell them 40x higher than what they're actually worth. If only I wasn't the type to feel guilt about ripping people off.

I ripped one off a friends wrist once. After he saw there was no granulated magnets or magic of god I just ran and said "You're welcome" [editline]21st February 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Sector 7;28204435]I overclocked my wrists like a month ago and I can move twice as fast now[/QUOTE] This sounds like a bad kids superhero show (Also, everyone's buying this shit up in downtown LA because of Kobe Bryant. I wish I could just kill him without the slightest attention sometimes.)

Hang on, "The company began selling bracelets in 2007 embedded with holograms that were purportedly designed to interact with the body's natural energy flow." Embedded with holograms??
I think it was proven fake, and that powerbalance gave a refund to everyone who bought their product
[QUOTE=Hana-San;28208288]Embedded with holograms??[/QUOTE] A pseudo3d picture in some plastic.

I know they don't work and I think people who believe that they work are really retarded. But still, I wear a PowerBalance to work or to the gym religiously. It's a great conversational piece and I like it on my wrist. Makes me feel like a boss.
Didn't the company that made the Power Balance band got sued multiple times for false advertisement?

The following celebrities needed money [quote=EKOLU KALAMA]"Power Balance gives me an edge physically, it keeps me centered and for me center and balance are the most important thing. I started using Power Balance after I saw my wife have the best sesh of her life with the stickers on her board, she sold me! Since then I use PB every time im in the water. Also, in stand up paddle boarding you use the paddle as a means to maintain stability and Power Balance is just another tool to keep your balance. In my mind stand up and Power Balance were made for each other."[/quote] [quote=SHAQUILLE O'NEAL]“I don’t really do a lot of testimonials, but this really works! I came across Power Balance when someone did the test on me. That night, while playing for the Phoenix Suns, there were about three of my teammates with the product on and we won that game by 57 points! I kept feeling something when I wore the bracelet, so I kept wearing it. When I took it off I went back to normal. I’ve been wearing the bracelet ever since. I want to do everything to get the slightest advantage; wristbands, necklaces, t-shirts, band-aids, everything and anything we can get our hands on. I’m here to tell you it works!” [/quote] Vague as fuck descriptions of a placebo effect, I'm sold.
Damn coincidence, was at a fair today (with all the student-driven companies from schools around Stockholm) and sure enough one of them was selling these things. The demonstration consisted of putting the armband on, stretching out your arm, standing on one leg and then the guy would pull your arm down (and then comparing with and without armband). I was pretty doubtful of the demonstration (I'm quite sure he pushed the arm down when you had the armband on you, and then pulled the arm to the side when you didn't). He was a good seller though, so I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and bought one (no I didn't pay 50$ for it, it cost me 3$), also because I want to dissect one just to see if they at least put in something like a magnet in it or if they really just thought "Fuck it" and it's all plastic. And yeah, these things don't work at all.
