Trim-Jeans

This product was so bizarre that it inspired a Monty Python skit. See the video below. (I have a vague memory of something about trim-jeans appearing on WU before, but couldn't find anything, so I decided I was wrong.)

Of course, the first question she will ask is, "Do these fat melting jeans make me look fat?"

You're doomed by any answer you give.

Alex--you might be remembering the video I put up a month or two ago, concerning Japanese trim underwear.

These look easier to use than the tube of clear goo and a roll of cling-wrap they were flogging over here last year.

Anyone remember those silver weight loss suits that you wore to make you sweat off the pounds while doing everyday activities? Yeah, those worked. :roll:

Paul -- that must be it. Or my brain is cluttered with so much useless info that I'm remembering non-existent things.

That comes from hanging out with a batch of reprobates.

Those silver suits are popular today with MMA fighters and wrestlers to cut weight for weigh-ins, but I can hardly believe that anyone would be crazy enough to think they would be something you'd use on a regular basis. They just help you dehydrate your body which leaves you unhealthy and feeling terrible.

Those guys enjoy brutality and still say the plastic suits are horrible. But it is true that you can dump around 20 pounds of water weight in less than a day in them. Might send you to the hospital and destroy your kidneys at the same time though.
