Is This Why Monavie Costs So Much?
Mon, Oct 29, 2007
One of the most popular posts I have ever written here at Scam types dot Com is one that asks, “Is Monavie A Scam?”.
In addition to having received a colossal number of visitors, that post has also attracted well over 100 comments too. These comments can, predominantly, be categorised as either pro- or anti- monavie.
One of the main criticisms I had when I wrote the post, that has been mentioned by several commentators too, is that Monavie is simply very expensive.
The following picture may help to explain why drinking Monavie could, potentially, cost you hundreds of dollars per month -
So, as some of the pro-monavie commentators have said, the reason it is so expensive may be because you are drinking far more than you need to each day.
Do you drink too much monavie?
Woot! woot! This really made me chuckle.
Do you really need to drink that much mona vie to see any effects?
I bet he spends rest of his time in the loo. His doctor will tell him later that most of it however is passed in the urine. I believe magic potions like these are mostly hoax as they are nothing more than vitamin supplements
But..but..but.. it’s full of antioxidants.. so it must be good.
Right?
Hey, I resemble that remark!
If Monavie was cheap enough, that would probably be me at any rate.
Ya, I’m a “juice dealer.”
…And I support Ron Paul too.
Apparently I just live for controversy
Don’t you mean you resemble the man in the photo?!?
As a Brit, I don’t know too much about Ron Paul, other than some of his more controversial speaches. From what I have heard, he would either be a great President or get assassinated real quick.
Of course that’s irrelevant cos Hilary has already won
Yup, that’s exactly what I meant. I drink close to a half a gallon of various juices throughout the day just ’cause I like ‘em. So it’s no stretch to think I’d be putting down a fifth of Monavie per day could I afford to.
Mixes quite well with my evening vodka indulgence too.
I’d say your take on Paul is spot on. Be careful mentioning his name, especially within shouting distance of “MonaVie.” Either seem quite capable of stirring up spontaneous online shit storms.
I thought your take on the MV biz was well balanced and objective. I hope you write on other subjects as well. Objective and honest journalism is tough to find these days.
Best,
RON PAUL
RON PAUL
RON PAUL
See.. no problems mentioning his name here (no grassy knolls or book repositories where I live
)
Honest and objective is very much a point of view. However, as I am in the UK, I’m precluded from being involved in these MLMs and, so, hopefully my opinion is not overly prejudiced by experience.
Honest and objective as a point of view? Hmmnn.. If so, I’ll still take it over what passes for journalism in the U.S. Given the same subject were they to appear in our papers would have headlined;
“MonaVie Scam Robs The Poor and Elderly!
“Is also linked to cult-like behavior and suspected ties to Al-Queda”
Then the rest of the article would slowly wind down with some veiled references, hearsay and innuendo sprinkled with speculations.
With the last paragraph or two basically admitting than no due-diligence nor fact checking had actually been done as the author runs for cover and attempts to distance himself from his own words.
But hey, he made deadline!
I’m glad to see that the UK isn’t the only country that tries to find a link between just about everything and international terrorism.
Which leads me to my next question…
… does Osama drink Monavie in his cave?
Naa, hypocrite that he is, he’s likely to be hoarding cases of high dollar scotch whiskey, opium by the barrel, cocaine by the kiloton, and a healthy sized harem.
(No wonder he doesn’t come out much. Just where IS that damn cave anyway?)
Unfortunately, he has “network marketing” down to an art form but isn’t looking to share the “health and wealth” with any of his down line. At least, in “this world”.
Libertyslegacy,
You controversial fire-starter! I like you already!!
I hope you stick around and get into some of the other conversations here!
I’ll do you one better.
GOD is angry at Osama, and has sent Ron Paul on a mission to discipline Mr. Bin Laden and the Al-Queda by spreading the Good News of Monavie exclusively to followers of the Global Warming Coalition.
If you act now, you will not only receive a lifetime supply of Monavie, but you will also get a beautiful ocean view cave (your choice of several middle east locations), and 100 Carbon Credits to help you offset your carbon footprint!
You might expect to pay hundreds, maybe thousands of (your native currency) for all this.
Today only, I am offering all this for just 19.99 plus S&H!!!
But not only that!!!!
I will also send you an authentic, state of the art, space meteorite with authenticity certificate!
Act now, Call today!

If you can swap the space meteorite for a star then you are on
we actually offer to *upgrades* in this area.
You can opt for a star - not just naming it mind you, actual ownership.
OR
You can receive our real estate on the moon package - and since America owns the moon, this actually comes with U.S. Citizenship… particularly attractive to some of our foreign investors!
** note ** upgrades to cost extra, but don’t worry about that, we will bill you later HA HA HA!
Don’t forget, this offer expires soon ACT NOW!
I was sorely tempted by your sales pitch there, until you mentioned the idea of living on the moon which, as every one knows, is a hoax
I didn’t say LIVE on the moon, just own property on the moon.
One day, we will all have to escape our overheated planet (mice and dolphins first people) and those that own property on the moon will be very thankful for their foresight and investment skills!
Hurry and call the number on your screen… property is going fast, but there is still time on the clock…
Operators are standing by
call now
Thanks for emailing me the complete phone number Jon, but, why is it that when I call I get a husky voiced woman offering me a massage?
all part of the ‘package’ my friend, all part of the ‘package’!!!
remind me to send you the email I got from the Chinese Banker that has an account from an Iraq soldier who died leaving obscene amounts of money behind and no next-of-kin.
I am NOT kidding, I actually have it, but can’t really send it from work… I will try to send it when I get home tonight!!
JB
Ok, thanks for that Jon.
“Thanks for emailing me the complete phone number Jon, but, why is it that when I call I get a husky voiced woman offering me a massage?”
You must be a Gold Club Member, all I get is an indian that demands I spend 10+ USD for the privilege of conversing with him.
Oh shit, I forgot that Virgin mobile is “progressive”.
Don’t get me started….
Ok, look…
First of all, don’t think that Gold Club Membership would get you anywhere near the ’special treatment’ afforded a Quad-level Platinum Echelon Member such as Scam.
Second, do you have any idea how much a call center costs these days. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the fine call centers hosted in India and I pass all the savings on to you, the sub-Gold Club Membership member. (by the way, I fired that operator for offering you such an outrageous discount… standard fee is ALWAYS 25+USD… thanks for bringing that to my attention
)

Expensive? Depends on what you call expensive. I don’t drive a Ferrari, because I can’t afford one or live in a castle for the same reason. However, I do drink the “juice” and feel better because I do. I drink 2-4oz. a day, because that’s all I can afford to.
Scam? I don’t think so.
I have friends who will lay down $2.50 a pop for a can of the energy drink of the week, which may or may not amp you up, then drops you like a ton of bricks.
The cost is associated to many factors, the first being the process used to freeze dry and pasturize the acai berry, which is one of the main ingredients and has the most potential for making your body feel better by adding antioxidants. Does it work right away? Maybe for some, others take a while to see effects, while some may never feel the effects. You may want to ask if they feel some kind of effect or feel the potassium kick in every time they eat a banana? OCjuice at my monavie.
Lets see:
Starbuccks 3/week 7.50
raspberries 4.00
Avacado (2) per week 3.00
Bananas 5/week 2.00
Soft drink 5/week 7.50
Bottle water 5/week 7.50
Fiber bar 3/week 3.00
1 quart OJ 3.50
1 Alpha Omega Vitamins 3.00
Total is $33.50 per week for the above. OK, you could skip the starbucks (but the energy!!!) Look at where we spend our money and what we get. I believe Monavie and the evidence is that it is an investment that is not too expensive for my health. What do you thinks statins cost per month when you get high cholesterol?
You said it Connie!
Living a healthy - disease free life….Priceless!
I don’t believe that’s monavie hes drinking. Looks more like cold tea.
Please! this is nothing but a scam. Take away the price of water, I drink tap. Take away the price of soda, ibuy mine at the supermarket. I buy concentrated oj $.50 cent a quart etc etc etc. not to mention the fact that you can find monavie substitutes online that are half the price and ACTUALLY list the amount of acai in the product! What your paying for is slick packaging and presentation. How much do you think it costs for those pretty bottles and those fancy cardboard boxes they come in? I’d be willing to bet .. more thaan it costs to make the juice………as the great P.T. barnum said ” theres a sucker born every minute”
my what intersting stats you throw around. back hem up please…….check out http://naturallypotent.wordpress.com/
and get all 19 ingredients defined for you.
Where did the original monavie article go? I cannot find it anywhere.
I had issues with the database and lost it unfortunately. There will be a new monavie article on Sunday…
Even at the recommended amount, it’s expensive… to a tune of $1400+ a year. It’s not that people are drinking too much. It’s much cheaper to just go out and eat good fruit and be done with it.
Ha ha - that avatar is appropriate to your site!
That’s pretty well my opinion too.
I’ve never drunk monavie (don’t think you can get it easily in the UK) but it sounds good enough.
There’s no way I’d pay that much though, especially when fruit is so cheap in itself.
ps you own any tupperware?
Who are you asking Lisa?

Click on the “Reply to this comment” link next time
what i find amazing is that franchises like McDonalds or any other avenue, like tupperware individuals try to get away from some huge company providing their paychecks is some type of scam too some fols. sure there are good and bad companies and good and bad people. pole sounds like a die hard to padding mega corps pockets.obscene consumerism. why wouldn’t you support your neighbor who’ll be standing there with a hose if your house catches fire? just wait, some enormous companies board of directors is waiting to steal your retirement to pay for his personal jet. wow. it’s a terrible thing to waste……..
