Lose yourself in the taste!

We haven't been able to find a whole lot of info on Centrum's DynaTrim but did uncover some facts.  The commercial doesn't explain much except that you can lose weight from eating DynaTrim, which is actually an "Appetite Suppressant". 

According to a Drug Store News article published on January 21, 1991 the makers of DyanTrim "threw $2.5 million in advertising behind its new product, DynaTrim, on Dec. 30 and 31 alone, said product manager Laurie Shanower, just so people would wake up Jan. 1 knowing about--and (the company hopes) reaching for -- DynaTrim. That was in addition to the $10 million spent since the TV, radio and print ad campaign broke Dec. 12. Altogether, $45 million in trade and consumer advertising will be spent in the first 13 months of DynaTrim's quest to topple Ultra Slim*Fast from its meal replacement throne, Shanower said."

That's a lot of money even for the early 90's! And a pretty catchy song too! Looks pretty tasty if you ask us, but we wonder if it works. Did anyone try this? Let us know!

Dan Dierdorf no longer shaped like a football

Anyone remember Dan Dierdorf? He was an NFL Football player turned NFL Football commentator turned St. Louis steakhouse proprietor and owner of Dierdorf and Hart's. I'm glad to hear that he lost the weight in the 90's but I wonder how he's doing today with all of those $53.00 24-oz. Boneless Strip Steaks. You can even have the steaks delivered to your door. Genius!
