The Awesome Açaí Berry

Açaí berry schmai berry. Of recent years we’ve heard of Ester-C, CoQ10, wheat grass, hoodia, pomegranate, and now the Açaí Berry (ah-sah-EE). It’s just one more in a long list of fads that hit the market as the miracle/end all super weight loss/rejuvenator product.

Oprah and her exulted Dr. Oz made mention of this berry-of-the-moment (at least in the US market) on her show, and soon the whole world is a twitter with buzz around this berry, and will shill out tons of money just to get it.

Did the pomegranate phenomenon teach us nothing? I personally, thought that pomegranate gum was a bit of a stretch.

I don't care what anyone says, you can't take 10 years off your face without using a scalpel.

(And now that I’ve written a post on this subject, my entire content-driven advertising will all be about the açaí berry and face lifts – ha!)
