Agree it’s a sale. Trademarks are allowed to apply to crappy goods, right? A sale is a sale. Just because someone doesn’t like it or it doesn’t work very well or the advertising copy was incorrect or just lying that their, I dunno, miracle footbath would cure gout, scoliosis, and foul language, the trademark you use to sell the bulls*** product is still a trademark. I have some hair ties that you can allegedly use to make one-handed ponytails (part of an eternal life quest for something like this that actually works) that don’t work even if you use your toes also. It’s still a sale!

Ask anyone who grew up in the age of the Ginsu Knife and the Sham-Wow and other such miracle items you could get by calling 1-800-whatever!

Cheers,
Laura
