I have become incredibly annoyed with all of the diet ads that I get bombarded with everyday (dude, magical weight loss tea is not a “movement’ that people can “join”, what the effing crap.)
Whenever they are online I mark them as “misleading” or, at least, “I don’t want to see this” and hide them. Unfortunately plenty of the ads are not deletable – magazines at the grocery store, billboards, even diet ads at the movies now. So I decided the next best thing to deleting them is making them into a game.
In that spirit, I offer the Diet Ad BINGO card below. You’ll note that “Disclaimer” is the free space because, since they don’t work, they all have some sort of disclaimer/fine print (like “results not even close to typical” or “this diet may kill you.“) As always, people are allowed to diet if they choose (underpants rule!), and people are allowed to poke fun at the diet industry which makes over $60 Billion a year selling a product that is such a failure that they are legally required to say that it doesn’t work every time they advertise it. Happy BINGO-ing:
