The Greatest Vitamin
in the World package has got to be the most hilarious thing
I’ve ever in my life seen advertised on television.
If you haven’t seen these infomercials, its almost worth
staying up until 4am just to find one. Almost. If
you do find yourself up at around that time some morning, give the
channels a spin and you might be lucky enough to see what I mean.
If you land on an advertisement for the Greatest Vitamin in the World
deal, you’ll know what I mean. First of all, the
guy selling the package may look a little familiar to you. I
recognized him immediately, but couldn’t quite place
it. Since his Greatest Vitamin in the World show had me in
hysterics, I found myself looking into it a little and trying to find
out who he is.
The man behind the Greatest Vitamin in the World is Don
Lapre. Don Lapre has been scamming people for years now with
different get rich quick opportunities. He appeared in a
torrent of infomercials in the 90’s peddling different
commonsense advertising packages ‘guaranteed’ to
make money. Since then he has been the target of many
different law suits, fraud and tax evasion charges, and has filed for
bankruptcy twice.
After all his previous money making offers completely flopped, Don
Lapre has more recently teamed up with
‘nutritionist’ Doug Grant to offer ‘The
Greatest Vitamin in the World’. The Greatest
Vitamin in the World is just a combination of random things that either
offer no benefit at all to normal healthy people, or can be found in
other multivitamin supplements for a fraction of the cost.
Even better, the Greatest Vitamin in the World commercials present an
opportunity for you to become involved in the marketing of the product
as one of his ‘independent advertisers’, with the
potential for making loads of money.
In other words, Lapre is at it again with another get rich quick
scam. Don’t even think about buying his marketing
package, and there a plenty of better vitamin supplements to take than
his. One site to check out to find out more is
‘quackwatch.org’. There’s a
very detailed and informative article posted there by a couple of
doctors that basically refute every claim made by the Greatest Vitamin
in the World commercials, and it’s also just a funny thing to
read if you’ve got a few spare minutes.
