I am not sure why Power Balance gets all fired up. Is it because it is the dumbest product ever and people should not buy it? Or is it because it is a brilliant marketing idea that I could have created to make millions of dollars? It is the first. Power Balance is just plain ole dumb.

Oh? You have never heard of Power Balance (or iRenew)? These are revolutionary bracelets that make you stronger, faster, balancier, and taller. I am just kidding, they don't really make you taller. The primary method of the Power Balance is a special holographic disk that boosts your own bodies natural frequencies and energy things. Seriously.

We all know these things are just junk. But I am not going to talk about that old stuff (here is a summary of some posts on Power Balanceology).

Check out this headline:

Power Balance admits no science behind wristbands (from Yahoo Sports)

This quote sums it up:

The company wrote: “We admit that there is no credible scientific evidence that supports our claims.” It also agreed to give refunds to customers who believe they were cheated.

There you have it. And, as a bonus David Petersen tipped me off to this great comic about Power Balance by Joel Watson.
