Long time no see, Quatloosians! Oprah's done it again, putting Shaklee on her program and raving about it. And what do they sell? Why outrageously overpriced cleaning products, that are supposedly safer for everyone!
You can't get the prices from their website (naturally), but Oprah was quoting some price like $90 per bottle with a 33% discount! These crooks were living it up, since Oprah blindly just gave them legitimacy in the eyes of American women.
I get depressed for the women who watch her show sometimes. Must we all behave like stoned sheep?
This MLM is similar to Usana and Melaleuca I think, as far as products and claims, etc.
Here's my favorite part, where the Shaklee dude explains to Oprah why the products "need to be sold in the home":
Mr. Barnett :"We think that the most compelling way to get people to live a greener, healthier life is to help educate them. There's not enough time in a 30-secont TV ad to properly explain the need....
Our business model is not dependent on people gathering in a home to demonstrate it. It's dependent on people learning something they didn't know, having a positive experience with our products and then sharing that with their friends."
Uh huh. It's all about EDUCATION.
