Will Brink just provided me with the term I was looking for in regards to these 8 million underdosed ingredients. It's called "label decoration".

Or maybe creative marketing?

It just pisses me off that it works so well. Imagine the people that come in to GNC after reading their bodybuilding mags. They are convinced that everything works as advertised. I explain one time how the supplements work. If they don't seem interested, then they are sold MuscleTech or something similar. I just get fucking sick of it...at least most of the people that come on this board actually want to learn.

I wish supplement advertising was governed by an independent agency.

Sorry for the rant. I feel better now.

Glad you feel better.

^^^It pisses me off as well.

Widdoes, there are so many different techniques of creative marketing that I get a kick out of having these names to call the different ones. I'm a big geek.
