Great, I’m in!!! Now to find a way to make people feel guilty and unrighteous for not drinking it. Call in the Living Scriptures folks. |
Wait a second, ARJ. You linked us to a photo of _The Legend of Johnny Lingo_–which also includes a photo of a beautiful young woman wearing a T-shirt which says, “That’s what she said.” Which legend are we talking about? What kind of subliminal advertising is going on here? |
nice, more MLM from RMs… |
What kind of subliminal advertising is going on here? That’s what she said. |
(is it just me?) I think I’m sensing some sarcasm here. |
Guy, it IS just you, and it indicates that you have a problem. You have come to the right place. 93% of our customers find that they instantly recognize sincerity vs. sarcasm after only one week of using Zrii. Most also drop between seven to ten pounds in that time (called “the enlightened hours”). They also begin to have visions. Please read our material. We’ll begin shipping tomorrow, on the assumption that you are ready for your entire life to change. |
I’m obviously one of the 7%. Zrii gave me gas. I should have run screaming when Chopra endorsed it. |
Why are there so many MLM companies in Utah and especially utah valley? Why are so many of them juice companies? I really don’t get it. |
DCcLemon, 1- juice is not as questionable as “nutritional supplements”, which had their day and are now generally considered to be of questionable value and quality. 2- these kinds of juices, from previously unknown exotic plants, have a “hidden treasures of knowledge” cachet that speaks to a theological theme lurking under the surface for Mormons. We all know there are things “the world” doesn’t know that can be unearthed by the righteous and shared with those who are seeking for new truths. 3- the Utah Valley, BYU-inspired culture has a nasty entrepreneurial streak. Righteous Capitalism gone bad. The self-made millionaire is a local hero, and usually gets promoted up the ranks of church leadership as their dollar value increases. 4- MLM’s are very similar to church organization, and involve loyalty and hierarchy among the adherents. You can include a lot of pseudo-gospel preaching in your sales pitches and everyone feels better about it. But you know, I have a friend who’s been drinking Noni juice for years and now runs 100-mile endurance races at the age of 50… |
the Utah Valley, BYU-inspired culture has a nasty entrepreneurial streak. Righteous Capitalism gone bad. The self-made millionaire is a local hero, and usually gets promoted up the ranks of church leadership as their dollar value increases. We’ve had a few of them move from Utah into our stake over the last decade, and they are shocked (shocked!) to find that their success, and the methods behind it, engender a bemused shrug from members in North Texas. Here, means are still at least as important as ends, evidenced by the fact that one of Texas’ most famous battle cries was forged in defeat… (The dot-com millionaire whose fortune was based on options and not an actual product is also gently reviled. We like Mark Cuban as long as his Mavericks are winning, not because he’s a well-timed dot-bomb billionaire.) |
MLM juice company? That’s rather interesting, as I’ve never seen that business model before. |
Thanks very much for taking your time to create this very useful infos |
