HEAD ON.

[TamerVirus]

Wasn't HeadOn literally just a block of wax?

[Tawa]

No, it was a block of wax that was .000001002% poison

[hector13]

Moreover, none of HeadOn's ingredients have any scientifically supported effectiveness in treatment of a headache. One of the ingredients, white bryony (bryonia alba), is a highly toxic berry that is lethal if 40 such berries are ingested;[20] however, dilution leaves virtually none of this ingredient in the product, which is why its makers can claim the treatment has no side effects[16] (or any effects at all[17]). Another ingredient, goldenseal (hydrastis canadensis), has no known effectiveness in the treatment of any condition.[21][22]

lol and... lol

Sometimes I wonder why I even bother to work when swindling suckers is so easy...

IIRC yeah. That's why they never actually say anything about what it's supposed to do in the commercials. Can't be sued for false advertising if you never said it did anything to begin with.

I wonder what the lethal dosage of HeadOn is...

Since you apparently need to eat 40 of those berries raw, and theyve diluted it heavily, presumably a lot. Youd probably die because your guts are too full of bullshit to process actual nutrients before anything else.

Which is basically starvation with the extra step of force feeding yourself horrible nasty wax

Of course, HeadOn is not taken orally, so the LD50 when used properly is "enough to smother or crush yourself under a pile of wax".

[Tawa]

Sorry, I miscalculated. It's .000001000002% poison. One part per million carcinogenic salt, two parts per trillion poisonous plants.

[Sirus]

Makes me wonder why they used toxic berries instead of something like...I dunno, aloe or something. Aspirin. Friggin penicillin for all I care. Something they could point out as having some actual vaguely medical use.

[Tawa]

It's homeopathic--the idea, presumably, is that it ends headaches by giving you tiny amounts of things that cause headaches. It's complete bunk, of course, but if it sells sticks of wax at cough syrup prices, why not?

[hector13]

Well it apparently got taken over by someone in '08 who decided to put actual medicine in it, though I hadn't heard about the product until today so I have no idea if that is the case.

Started a new job which has to do more with my area of expertise (IT, the computers, not the Stephen King monster). This new job doesn't involve sells, while the last job I had was about selling stuff, so it had the potential of high income, but in reality I would need huge sales to do it. Also last job was as it is, no contract, benefits or anything.

Now I have a potentially lower (but in practice is actually higher) but steadier income. This helped stabilize things a bit, but money is still not enough, two weeks of work are hardly enough for food. We are eating mostly vegetables and few proteins that I have to force my wife to eat more than me so she can breastfeed better, but we are eating regularly!
