Perfect Water now not as Perfect.
By Truth in Amway
Since I first found out about this new perfect water product that Amway is going to be distributing the thing that of course caught my attention was the claims that were being made about this product. The whole deal about having improved flexibility, balance, and strength in just seconds with one ounce I found to be quite outrageous. No surprise to me however was the comments from those who came here defending such ridiculous claims.
In this situation however this story actually has a different twist from the outrageous product claims that have been made about Amway products of the past. A quick trip over to amquix.info shows several articles that Scott Larsen has written about perfect water and in many of those articles he has screen shots of the perfect water website as it has evolved. The twist on this product is that the manufacturer was making the claims as well and even had the infamous "tip-test" instructions posted on their website.
At the start it appears from the screen shots that the perfect water manufacturer was indeed making claims about improving balance, strength, flexibility. Also, they had the tip-test instructions posted for anyone to read and try out to prove how perfect their water was indeed. Today however the perfect water site makes absolutely no claims about their water except to say it's a great bottle of water. Nothing about a tip-test, or an improvement in any capacity.
I actually feel sorry for the IBOs on this one since the manufacturer of the product appeared to be encouraging these claims at one time, even though I believe some common sense questioning of the tip-test would show it to be bunk. Now that the perfect water site has removed all claims about the balance, flexibility and strength improvements it is my opinion they never really believed that their water could improve any of that. Now that the claims have been removed from the website however I am interested to see how many IBOs continue to defend the tip-test and the claims that were previously made about this product.

Go Memphis
By Truth in Miscellaneous
I don't really follow College Basketball or any basketball for that matter. Right now I am actually going through football withdrawals, and using baseball to get me through as rough as that is. But I know Qblog loves his Memphis basketball team and they are in the Final Four so I thought I would make mention of it and let's see if they can win it all.
