Dr Kwak!! I love it. How appropriate. Wonder if it had FDA approval!? At least it's good to know they were sanitized. Wonder if they were individually wrapped??

When I was a kid, loading up my plate with food, my mother would sometimes say "You must have a tape worm!"

I believe it was a put-on.

But even so, the "pitch" is what you see and hear every day on American TV in infomercials. Whatever they are selling, it is always: FAST. EASY. SIMPLE. Listen to one of them sometimes.

All such pitches promise to make you rich or sexy or both.

I figured that, but considering the weird things that were sold at one time and they way they were sold, you never know. Remember the cigarette ads that actually showed doctors smoking and claiming the health benfits of smoking - good for your throat, clears your airways, helps you to relax, and so on.

Here's a collection of similar ads...though I'm pretty sure these are all real.

IIRC in which ever novel Mordecai Richler brought back Duddy Kravitz, he had Duddy selling tape worms in pill form as a weight loss treatment.

Thank you for visiting the website of Dr. Edward Kwak, one of New York's top plastic surgeons.

Yeah, really.

"Remember: Nature's spelled backwards is -- Serutan!"

Appropriately, they sponsored Lawrence Welk...

And someday, they'll look back at us, our liposuction and our Botox (Botulinum toxinis considered the most powerful neurotoxin ever discovered.)

One more for the tapeworm.

[king ubu]

well, you do need some tape to hold all these cans and bags and boxes together... but why the worm?

[Dan Gould]

It says right in the lower left, "No Ill Effects" so what's everybody yapping about?

[JSngry]

From the available evidence, I think Dr. Kwak's office would be a good place to pick up hot insecure chicks.

Actually I think you'd see more Revision Rhynoplasty patients like this:
