"Sexy Boobs" snake oil

If you have something so weird, strange or off-topic to post and think it doesn't belong in any other forum; you're probably right. Please put all your gormless, half-baked, inane, glaikit ideas in here. This might also be a place where we throw threads that appear elsewhere that don't belong ANYWHERE end up, instead of having to flush them. FORUM RULES STILL APPLY.

"Sexy Boobs" snake oil

Post by FrankReynolds »

So my wife is easily fooled by what she sees on tic toc and Facebook, and had bought some pills that would apparently make her breasts larger. 1 pill a week for 6 weeks......
The bottle contains no info about what's in them, and the QR code leads to a sketchy website for some local company in toul kork called phkaa prak. No info on ingredients there either. 10 bucks for this bottle of false hopes Image

At best something benign but you really don't know what's in there. A woman I know used to make skin-whitening creams. I saw how she bought tons of different lotions and things like steroid cream, mixed it in a big aluminum basin and then scooped it into pots to sell for $10 each or whatever. I remember her friend used some and it made all her skin peel off but she was quite happy because the skin underneath was whiter.

Exactly, could be anything in there. Scoundrels.

Estrogen maybe.
The hormone estrogen, if taken in high enough doses, increases breast size by stimulating growth of breast tissue. However, it is not safe to use estrogen in this way because when breast cells are stimulated to grow, they are more likely to turn cancerous.

Penis and breast enlargement pills and other remedies is a huge market internationally. There was a time when pretty much every porn site were peddling penis pills, expensive as fuck and people kept buying month after month holding on to that hope.

I guess some regulatory instance cracked down on it though or people in general just evolved a little in realized it didn't work, whatever it was, I rarely see those ads anymore.

Guess what I'm trying to say is it's not some silly Cambodian thing, although they do get away with pretty silly bottles here lol

I thought that's what beer was for? Makes other parts of women more attractive too right?

I once saw some breast enlarging bread for sale at Tokyu Hands in Tokyo, which is a fairly upmarket kind of store.
