Slim-Fast Challenge Falls Down -- and not pant sizes

OK, I told everyone to go to Wal-mart or Sam's Club to check out the free samples of low carb Slim-Fast foods. Well, if your experience was anything like mine, it wasn't worth the effort for a pedometer with the Slim-Fast logo.... because that was the only useful object I received out of the deal.

I got to Wal-mart about 10:30, a table was set up, it had cardboard kits to hand out, but they couldn't find the samples anywhere. They asked me to look around the store for ten minutes. One hour later, I went back to the table and they still had not found the samples. They said there was a sample in the kit, so I took the kit. They didn't have the forms to sign up for the Slim-Fast challenge itself, but they gave me a kit anyway.

While I was waiting for them to find the samples, I checked out the Slim-Fast products on the shelves. All of them were just LOADED with sugar. I found one box of the new low-carb Slim-Fast product that said it had 3 grams of net carbs. Just ONE box! Not one type, just one box!

I got home and opened up my kit... the sample inside was for their normal sugar-laden meal replacement bar! It has 35 grams of carbs and 16 grams of sugar. (It is better than some of their shakes though.)

Inside the booklet it was all the usual drivel on how to lose weight. Nothing about having a low-carb option to their line.

So... I will send my complimentary sugar-laden Slim-Fast bar to the first person who emails me. The execution of the Slim-Fast rollout certainly was a bust in my estimation.

Please comment on your experience.

Just because you had a bad experience, you should not ruin the thought of weight loss on slim fast products for other. If you want low-card shit, stick to the Atkins Diet. Let people keep hope alive on the slim fast challenge.
