That's a really unfair comparison, and you know it.

For 333 you're not getting a single dose, but a lifetime supply. If your family and your village pitch in, you can get your headband, go to Harvard, and star making millions in no time.

Those 333 will pay themselves a thousand times over.

It's a great idea to make it harder to breathe when exercising. Hope enough people will faint or swallow this stupid poo poo to sue the creators into oblivion.

But the reality is that 99% of backers will never use it, because they never exercise.

Youtube sadbrain LA Beast is planning on walking across the US in record time and part of his training regime is sleeping in an oxygen tent every night. But he's also heavily addicted to 'medicinal' weed so it's pretty obvious he's using it for hotboxing and probably passes out afterwards, which I guess still counts.

ok one or two mismailed envelopes with nothing in them in a batch of thousands I can see, but there appears to be a problem with these people.

"Hey Aopun, I too received an empty envelope. Opened it at the post office counter and the staff thought it was a bit funny receiving just and empty envelope from overseas. Think it is a bit funny also but could actually pls send me one this time :) Cheers James (Australia)"
"Hey Aopun : ) I too received an empty box. : ("
"Sorry double post, but is there someone to chat about for getting an empty box?"
"Hi I got an empty envelope from Canada as well."
"Empty enveloppe! How can you send so many with nothing in them?"
"Empty for me as well."
"I received my package today....and it's empty. No Aopun."
...and so on...

there were only 350 backers..how could you not hand check each package?

People backed this. People saw a bunch of mouthbreathing morons biting on what is basically a chew toy, who then went on to make medical claims about it, and then thought "yeah, that seems like a good idea."

Since they also want to use that crap WHILE exercising, didn't they think they could do literally the same with any mouthguard (bite down, then release)? How can somebody think that chewing down on something, other than gently caress up your jaw, will give you a better jawline?!
