Looking for a little summertime weight-loss, ladies? The new diet drug Alli would love to help. It apparently works by giving you uncontrollable diarrhea; so much so that the makers recommend carrying a spare change of dark-colored clothing around wherever you go. Not to worry, though, because now there’s Clincal Strength Secret deodorant to help you avoid the inevitable stink.
Hey, I’m all for the idea of losing weight. I myself am working hard to eat better and get more exercise, and I’ve probably dropped close to 10 pounds over the past few weeks. I still have some work to do, but no matter how tempting, I’m studiously avoiding anything that lists the possibility of uncontrollable diarrhea as a side-effect. Call me silly, but this seems merely a common sense approach. The idea of having to bring a dark-colored change of clothes along with me seems a bit over the top. I’m speaking only for myself, of course, but I have a philosophical problem with a product which, when listing possible side effects, uses the words “uncontrollable” and “diarrhea” in the same sentence.
I think I’ll just do it the old-fashioned way, thank you very much….
