In the tradition of Tam’s: “Most radical… no, most ridiculous new product“, I present:
hippy’s Bullsh*t Product of the Week: Phiten.
It seems if you can’t get enough Ti on your bike, you should wrap some around your wrists to “increase sports performance and help relieve pain”.
“Phiten has created products that activate cells one-by-one. Fostering “optimal balance,” the basis of our products is “Phild Processing,” a technology that mixes collagen and a highly absorbable pineapple enzyme. This powerful and natural combination enhances cell activity and thus helping to promote a strong body.”
“”Phild Processing” is a process that has been proven to enhance kinetic ability in the body, preventing injuries and back pain. Helping to actualize one’s human potential in sports or in daily life, Phiten’s Titanium products are used worldwide by athletes and other people who have begun to recognize the high potential hidden in these products.”
Sounds like bullsh*t.
But wait! There’s more!
It seems Phiten know how to dissolve titanium in water:
“Aqua Titanium” is the name we use for titanium paricles dissolved in water. It represents Phiten’s successful effort to bond titanium molecules with water molecules, which had heretofore been considered infeasible, using a unique technology,
Phiten’s original technology causes titanium to dissolve in water (Aqua Titanium) and lets the titanium particles thus obtained permeate each fiber of the material fabric. Phiten??s apparel products, made of these specially processed fabrics, deliver the natural health-promoting properties of titanium to various parts of your body.
Click on their “How It Works” page – what do you get?
That’s right.. “404 – Page cannot be found”!!
Good to see even they know their products are bullsh*t!
Don’t forget – You can also buy this bullsh*t for your pets! Joy of joys!
Phiten – a deserving winner of hippy’s “Bullsh*t Product of the Week”.
Ye of little faith! Even Einstein had to admit others sometimes new stuff he didn’t. Maybe, just maybe, they’re onto something!
Were you drinking when you wrote that?
Perhaps you should’ve been 😉
Maybe, just maybe, I’ll make my fortune when I get my hands on that little green bastard at the end of the rainbow..
Well, they’ve got a "Hairdressing Division"… to me, that just speaks volumes. Of crap.
On a brighter note, I’ve just ordered one of these dude:

Maybe pop it in your "Non-Bullshit product of the week"
Dude, when are you going to get some of this video content out?
You need a website for your overseas fans..
New toys are good.
What about these (http://www.lifewave.com/enr…) – they sound equally as dodgy to me.
I stick with the copper bracelet technology of the 70’s.
Ah, I heard about an "alternative fuels" group in the Byron/Nimbin area (dodgy already…) who’s engine produces no pollution, as it draws energy from other dimensions… Hmmm…
But yeah, website. I’ve wanted one for a bit. So if you guys can suggest a good host or somewhere to start, that’d be cool. I want to post words (duh) photo’s (duh) and of course video (Du-uh!). Suggestions anyone?
How do they know it’s not polluting the other dimensions?
Google will help (confuse) you with selecting a web host. Hosting is HEAPS cheaper outside Oz (ie. pick a webhost located in the States) and if you want to host lots of images or video, you want one that provides lots of space (I get 2GB storage for about $140AUD/year) and doesn’t charge for large amounts of traffic.
Cheers for the advice dude.
I’m with you on the polluting other dimensions thing. It’s robbing Peter to pay Paul.
it’s like drilling a hole in your neighbours wall and finding water. Only when you wake up with your neighbours shovel between your head and your shoulders do you realise that you’d tapped in to their pool. The moral? If you hear your neighbour sharpening their shovel, it’s time to move.
sounds like hippy has a big chip on his shoulder. if you think it is so "bullshit" why not justify your argument so that people evaluate the product themselves instead of being a negative arsehole. better still you sound like a website control freek, step back people because you can never win with him. let him stew in his own negativity and fester in all of lives mistakes and miseries;for he rest of us; go enjoy lifes little mysteries, and embrace new invention. if you like what you buy, whether it works or not, then thats a plus right there. Psychologucal performance is a greater thing to conquer than that of your physical performance, as once said, if you dont have it mentally then you might as well not have two legs.(franz stampfl; 3.59.4 the quest to break the 4 minute mile.)
Justification? I don’t have to. It’s up to the product to provide evidence that it works, "evidence", not bullshit.
But for one, how about the fact that Ti isn’t water-soluble?
For more, google them yourself..

In a similar vein, those lying wallies at Powerbalance finally state: "We admit that there is no credible scientific evidence that supports our claims and therefore we engaged in misleading conduct in breach of s52 of the Trade Practices Act 1974."
