I finally gave in.

It's been staring at me in big, bold letters for days. It's everywhere I look.Us Weekly. People. OK!. Okay, already! I want to know! What is the one, old simple rule I can follow to get rid of my belly fat!? Hide your secret from me no longer, text ad! Reveal yourself!

I clicked.

Tea? That's not one old rule. That's one old drink. This is the mystery that text advertising has been taunting me with for weeks? O, text ads; how will I ever trust you again?

Well, while we're here. What do you have for me, "Easy Weight Loss Tea?" A dire warning: the Wu-Yi System was "NOT CREATED FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO ONLY WANT TO LOSE A FEW MEASLY POUNDS." Alrighty, Wu-Yi, I'm picking up what you're putting down. What about--holy cow! There are limited free trials remaining? Well, I don't know--maybe I should shop around ... oh wait, you were featured on the news? Let's Google that ...

WCTV in Tallahassee's Triston Sanders, medical anchor, is on it! Finally, a source I can rely on:

" One registered dietitian says Wu-Yi tea has caffeine which boosts your metabolism and suppresses your appetite. She says tea is healthy and it's beneficial but says you might see the same benefits from other teas on the market. Whether Wu-Yi works for you guess you'll have to decide."

Argh.
