Not that I am above the concept generally; I am talking about the useless 'cures' that are hawked on late night TV. Or the classic snake oil medicine. Things like that.
I wish I could really get better rest because of diapers taped to the bottom of my feet, or have more energy all day because of a $5 12-oz smoothie. Sure, one might say that those who go for these things are being ripped off, but if the placebo works, it is just as real. I say they are getting their money's worth and more!
Now, if only someone could combine a convincing health tonic placebo with beer.
