It works like Amway, you buy your Gogi juice product from your supplier and then you become a supplier and you unload your product via a network of your friends and families members and then they too become suppliers/dealers (buying the product from only you of course) and they sell to all their friends who get sucked in to being…and it keeps building layer by layer. Then suddenly and with almost no effort on your part you are a muliti-millionaire!
It’s so simple…. Not. This is a pyramid scam and a bare handful of people are making any doe.
But, never mind the odds, it’s a great pitch and people fall for it even after hearing it’s a scam. Why? Because they want to believe, they want to be get rich quick and whats the harm in trying, right? There’s the sucker hook. What’s the harm in trying…it just might be true!
The suckers are seduced by the miraculous claims about the berry’s ability to prevent cancer, or even cure cancer. “New Zealand health authorities are investigating what they feel to be extravagant health claims by companies trying to sell Gogi juice as a cure for cancer.” Testimonial evidence abounds: There are so many people who will swear it’s true and you Bunky know the doctors won’t admit it works because they make money from sick people, right? Why would they tell you how great these berries really are?! Did you know they will extend your life, give you energy, help you lose weight, let you sleep better, lower your blood pressure, improve your mood, build muscle and so it goes, on and on….but, wait! There’s just one problem, these are NOT medical claims, these are what the network of bumpkins are telling their clients to get them to pay up to $40 a quart for this Gogi juice. It’s an expensive habit too; you are directed to drink it twice a day for the full benefits and that works out to about 5 quarts a months.
What is true is, it is a super anti-oxidant and doctors will tell you that’s good for you, just like vitamin C. But, beyond that fact there are no other established health benefits, it’s just another anti-oxidant. You could drink any number of things like blueberry juice and get just about the same health benefit for a whole lot less money.
Yes Bunky… it really is just another pyramid scam. When it was thoroughly investigated by news reporters it was found that only a couple of people out of hundreds of thousands actually made any real money and they had to work their rear ends off to get there!!! The rest of the so-called dealers pretty much made minimum wage for all their efforts.
The Gogi craze is sweeping the nation and the latest estimate is it has exceeded a billion dollars in sales and that means sometime in the very near future a neighbor near you will be knocking on y-o-u-r door telling you about a berry juice that sounds too good to be true. And you’ll probably believe it. Americans are total suckers for this kind of quackery, look how long we’ve been buying the miracle diet pill! But, for those few of us who don’t buy into this quackery… we’re labeled the real suckers because we haven’t even tried it to see if works! And I won’t be trying it either because I know how it works, but for the rest of you… bottoms up.
Now I am off to take my pond scum pill…aka blue green algae. Did you know that eating pond scum will add 5 months to your life… guaranteed?
