I know that sinse it was free it can't be that bad.But,some freebies aren't really great. I think my worst one was from Nature Made Vitamins.It was called Triple Flex.It's for joint care.Whe I received it,I thought,that sounds great.They sent 10 gel caps and it said to take 2 a day.the box said it would start working in 7 days.What???It starts in 7 days and they sent enough for 5 days. Have you ever received any thing like that?

I'm a big freebie person :) - and the worst freebie I have ever recieved was probably a coupon that was already expired. I sent away for a coupon from some small company (can't even remember!!) and they sent me a coupon in the mail to try the product free and then I would take a survey - I get a free product, they get 5 minutes of my time ... well when it arrived it had expired TWO weeks prior lol!

That is funny. That is my worst freebie ever too. When I opened my freebie there was no pills in it. There was a box with a spot for where they should have been but there was nothing in there. I was wondering how that might happen but I could never figure it out. I was excited to try them too. Its funny.

i guess the only 'bad' freebie that i have ever gotten was something that helps you get rid of colds early before they settle in. they only give you a little sample so that if you infact do have a cold, you need to buy more anyways.

I got that same freebie for my husband. When we got it and read the instructions we thought the same thing. If it isn't going to work for 7 days, what good is that sample anyways? I don't know if he took them anyways or just ditched them.

LOl, that is a big hook isn't it. We will let you try it but if you actually expect it work your going to have to buy some. I always think the supplement freebies are kind of a waste because they are never going to give you enough that you could take them long enough to see any results. It is funny actually. My worst freebie was probably the same type of a deal. Or one of those where they say try it for free for 10 days. Then they send you a bill and another shipment. They make it sound like it is free, but it is not. That is a huge scam.
