2006 Shonky Awards

Choice just had their 2006 Shonky Awards, one of the top 10 was
'Oxygen4Life' , this sort of thing was mentioned a while back in this
NG, the award presenters, Roy and HG made the following observations:

"The drink, Oxygen4Life, was among the duds, claiming to keep the body
topped up with oxygen.

HG NELSON: Now the next one goes to the…this is a drink, 10ml of this
product for all the bio available oxygen needs twice a day, 10ml not
bad, and you can keep your body topped up with oxygen.

ROY SLAVEN: Don't need to have a lung anymore.

HG NELSON: No.

ROY SLAVEN: You can breath through your stomach.

HG NELSON: That's right."

As someone said once, there's a sucker born every minute! 😄

About once a week we get a "Newbie CoolRunner" showing up,
telling us about a wonder product they've just tried... how
dumb do they think we are. I love when Kevin steps in :-)

So that's the real reason why drinking fizzy drinks is bad
for you. It's all that CO_2 you absorb through your
stomach...

There's another one?

Same active ingredient. From the Choice Website:

"The CHOICE Shonky for a Lot of Hot Oxygen
Goes to...
OXYGEN4LIFE
(CHOICE, July 2006)
Feeling tired? Run down? Flat? Then you could drink 10ml of this
product's "bio-available oxygen" once or twice a day and "keep your body
topped up with oxygen" for "enhanced quality of life". Or you could
breathe -- which is widely regarded as the platinum standard for
oxygenating your blood. And it's much cheaper too: the 250ml of
de-ionised water, Atlantic sea salt and "bio-available oxygen" that make
up OXYGEN4LIFE cost us $55.
At least after being talked to by the NSW Food Authority, the company
has revised its labelling and removed a number of health claims."

(The other we heard from was Sports OxyShots, I think...)

What's unfortunate is that cycling magazines and websites carried the
press releases and ads for that [censored]. I guess they want to stay sweet with
the distributors handling it.

If only it ended there. One actually carried a highly favorable review,
by an accredited coach no less...

Who possibly lost some level of respect along the way!
