Headache, nausea, sleeplessness, throttlelobotomiosis, anus
awareness and meat shower syndrome in rare cases. Some
death may occur but is usually temporary. Ask your registered
homeopathic practitioner if Doctorremulac3's miracle fat
burner is right for you. Then order it anyway.
The idea
being that listing a bunch of non-existent side
effects would make the non-existent benefits more
believable. A variation of another idea that was kind of
clever.

This sounds like its herbal and/or sold at gas stations. [+] |

//hopeopathic// This explains everything homeopathy related. In fact, I'm certain that neuroscience will shortly be able to explain the exact mechanism of hope-e-opathy. Bun for wordsmith skills, [Doc]. |

The creepy thing about this incredibly evil idea is,
it would probably be the biggest advancement in
snake oil salesmanship since the "invention" of
homeopathy itself. |
|
| |
If I heard a litany of side effects in an ad for
something, I'd probably assume it really worked for
whatever it said it did. Why would they list all
those side effects if it didn't? Everybody knows
only real medicines list their side effects right? |
|
| |
If I see somebody actually doing this I'm gonna feel
really bad. What a horrible thing to have on your
resume. "I was responsible for something incredibly
evil but I was just kidding." |
|
| |
Yes, evil. But it's better to shine light on this possibility of
evil now. |
|
| |
I've gotta wonder though why nobody's done this
before. There's no shortage of evil people out there.
Guess nobody's thought of it before. |
|
| |
The good news is the old "Fool some people some of
the time" adage will always apply. People catch on
eventually. |
|
| |
Except with homeopathic medicine for some reason.
Hmm. Not sure why. I guess people who should
protect the public assume there's some merit to the
placebo effect of these nostrums and elixirs? Don't
know. |
|
| |
Could resolve some of the issues for masochists. |
|
| |
Clever idea - emphasizing those fake side-effects that can be made into real symptoms through
auto-suggestion is the way to go. |
|

Warning placebo side effects include no effects what so ever. Any effects beneficial or otherwise are strictly dependent on the individual and and how much darkmatter they may have influencing the amount of evil in their bodies. Warning Placebos do not work as well around particle accelerators unless bombarded by high energy protons from the accelerator itself. Warning placebo side effects may manifest negatively if taken on haunted properties. If the placebo has been hexed demonic possession may be a side effect. |
|
| |
Anyway since a placebo does really nothing you can put all kinds of crazy warnings on it your want. |
|
| |
What are the symptoms of placebo overdose? |
|
| |
Most likely rage or annoyance over having taken placebo. |
