Helping you Prepare for Flu Season

We hate to call something the dumbest product in the world, because we know something dumber will always come along . . . but right now, in this moment, I feel like this is the dumbest product in the world.

A company called Vaev just started selling tissues . . . that are already infested with GERMS.  Like, someone else already sneezed into these tissues, then the company packages them up in a box and sells them to you.

For $80.  That's right.  $80 for a box of used tissues.

They CLAIM that using these tissues helps build up your immune system to get you ready for flu season . . . OR let you DECIDE when you're going to intentionally give yourself the flu to get it out of the way.  Really, that's part of their marketing message.

Anyway, before you drop $80, just know that doctors are NOT on board.  One doctor in Akron, Ohio says, quote, "That's bizarre.  This seems like a total waste of money."

And one in Nashville says, quote, "This is potentially hazardous if it does work, and I don't think that it does."  I really hope this product is fake and this is all just a stunt.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
