3. I don't trust anything heavily and exclusively advertised

on those "classic TV" stations, which is the only place I've seen that back brace advertised (if we're referring to the same one). I've used others that haven't helped, and, like a girdle, I couldn't wait to get them off so I could breathe properly again.

Those ads are deceptive, especially the one for the inflator that looks like a cordless drill. Refill a flat car tire in about 1.5 seconds witn a gun that size? The video is quite obviously speeded up. And, notice they say nothing about recharging that small battery?

Oh, no! What a mess! Nobody wants that!
