The one I like is for a new weight-loss drug:  "Since Losa-Pound works by
slowing absorption of fat globules, you may suffer bloating, gas, water
retention, urge to blast, explosive diarrhea, and inability to control
same.  Because your body doesn't have a chance to absorb necessary
nutrients, you'll need a multi-vitamin every day."

Uh, it sounds like a more extreme version of the symptoms they mentioned
for that fat substitute (Oelestra?) that came out a year or two back.  [In
that case the fat substitute is more like a soap than a fat... and soap is
known for the Symptoms mentioned above.]
