This is what's on my fb today. Posting here in an effort to not post under the ad. Am I the only to find this ridiculous? And a potential choking hazard? So tempted to comment!!

What are they? Sweets?

MrsPreston11 · 31/01/2018 13:19

Juice Plus and every other MLM boil my blood.

Shit products at jacked up prices being sold my mugs who think they "own a business"

KatnissMellark · 31/01/2018 13:19

Wtf

mikado1 · 31/01/2018 13:21

35 fruit and veg in a chewable vegan jelly! To give your baby the best start apparently [eyeroll]

Whaaaaaat? !!!

flobella · 31/01/2018 13:24

Anything from a glorified pyramid selling scheme yanks my chain but this is another level of awful.

mikado1 · 31/01/2018 13:26

Oh FFS! Hmm

It's an 'amazing way' to ensure your baby is full of goodness. This from the person who put rusks into her babies' bottles and quizzed me up and down about why I wasn't giving cheerios as snacks to my 12mo..

My Juice Plus nutter friend hands out the gummies and her business card at Halloween........

mikado1 · 31/01/2018 17:55

No not not yet...I am v aware they want any comments as it increases their exposure on fb.. I want to say 'You know what's a really amazing way...giving your baby actual fruit and vegetables lol! (Including the lol for maximum PA) Any wishful comment suggestions?

You could just post an embedded video to the NHS baby choking awareness advert.... at least you'd possibly be educating people.

BSintolerant · 31/01/2018 20:28

@toobusytowee have you seen this?

Anyone feeding babies Juice Plus should be locked up. I've heard everything now.

OP, have you got a screenshot of the offending post?

mikado1 · 31/01/2018 20:36

I can't because I can't scroll out the seller's name..not sure how to 'marker' it out.. I'm sure she's not the only one trying to flog this. It's actually called 'Baby&Me'. I'm glad you're horrified too.

There’s a minimum age recommendation for Juicepus capsules. It varies from country to country for some reason. Let me see if I can find out the age for the UK. What age are the babies she is recommending it for?

Toobusytowee · 01/02/2018 23:37

Ha! ‘Juicepus’! That is a good typo.

Toobusytowee · 01/02/2018 23:41

Juice Plus say age 4 is the minimum age that children should have the gummies. Age 6 for the adult capsules.

Take a look at their website, question number 3. www.juiceplus.com/gb/en/about-us/faq/juiceplus

minniemummy0 · 02/02/2018 01:35

Yeah, for age 4-13. Maybe there is some way to report her to JuicePlus cos as shit as they might be depending on your perspective, I’m almost certain they wouldn’t approve of their products being advertised in this way.

mikado1 · 02/02/2018 12:42

No way? The gummies only for 4+ ? There's a pic of a baby in a nappy on the post!

Send a report to the advertising standards agency. They are very good at acting on things like this and the form is really easy to fill in on their website.

mikado1 · 02/02/2018 12:45

Yes I see it now. She's definitely got this from somewhere though, surely she can't have just made it up? The whole thing is awful but yes, I do want to say something now!

OP posts:
mikado1 · 02/02/2018 12:46

Does it include social media? And would she be told who did it? I can't get over her.
