An even stupider version because this one doesn't even claim magnetics or anything else. It's a hologram that does the voodoo!

Oooooh, my natural energy field? I'll take two.

Power Balance Wrote:Power Balance is based on the idea of optimizing the body’s natural energy flow, similar to concepts behind many Eastern philosophies. The hologram in Power Balance is designed to resonate with and respond to the natural energy field of the body.
I can imagine the creators of these bands giggling hysterically as they write this.

blind consumerism. Slap a celeb's face on it, or behind it, and there goes some few hundred thousand units sold right there.

Ugh, reading through the site just makes me want to punch the sell-outs endorsing this product.

Teemu Selanne, Hockey Wrote:Power Balance is a remarkable product. Not only does it help me and my team with our balance and endurance on the ice, it also helps my mom live and feel better in her daily routine.

Shaq Wrote: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!

@below: Of course not. I'm just enraged that this company will thrive because they were able to buy some moderately well-known hacks to back their product.

Do you really think that Shaq testimonial is true? REALLY?

It's like I'm in the tv commercials you see past midnight.

I believe the question was not whether that really is Shaq, but whether he really believes what he's saying.

Hologram - a negative produced by exposing a high-resolution photographic plate, without camera or lens, near a subject illuminated by monochromatic, coherent radiation, as from a laser: when it is placed in a beam of coherent light a true three-dimensional image of the subject is formed.

Apparently that balances your energy

Nope, one that you wear normally.

Personally, I got one half a year ago. They don't boost anything. However, I'm a person that believes it's not the product that makes it work but that it's the thought you put in it. Heck, a $ 1,- bracelet would even boost your prestations just as much if you believe it. A reason why I bought one is because even though I believe what I've just said, I still need a charm rather than the thoughts. Plus I found them nice looking.
