I'd say their selling bullshit.
But, you're on the right track.

Well I had never heard of Monavie before so I Googled it.
There were 1.47 million hits on "scam" all I needed to know.

Amway scam only gets me 977K hits. Almost honest by Monavie terms.


Tupperware on the other hand is actually useful even if horribly overpriced.

Pretty shady looking outfit. The founder was previously a big shot with other MLMs, all with serious legal issues over their products or practices.

The FDA closed this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Essentials

This one was sued for being an illegal pyramid scheme: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Essentials

The case was dismissed but there are questions remaining.

Oh, and the Magic underwear bunch is involved.

I have heard people started calling monavie a scam and complained about the big price tag and said that others products are better and a lot cheaper. This made people more aware before buying it as for every 3-4 good testimonials, a bad one that called monavie scam appeared. But it has got more marketing nowadays.

If something seems too good to be true, 99.9% of the time, it is.

I don't have a problem with someone I know offering me something, even recommending it. Maybe they believe in its wondrous powers to enhance my sex life, clean the dishes better or make my car run smooth. The only condition is they ask just once and accept NO if they hear it.
