LOL Yay! No more kankles!!! What an invention.
ReplyI'd love to find out how many they actually sold!! Probably quite a few! :-)
ReplyI wonder if it fixes surgery fatness as that is my problem at the end of the day.
ReplyI honestly think that if they sold it today on late night television it would make a lot of money. People still fall for equally as dumb things. Anyone remember the "wobble stick" from last year?

ReplyThat's $33.75 after adjusting for inflation. I was hoping it would be $19.95 like all the other diet junk.
ReplyI saw that on flickr this morning and printed it out to go on my wall of inspiration. One of the fun things about losing weight slowly is watching the weight come off different places on my body and recently I've noticed that one of the places is my ankles - makes me so happy to be getting nicer legs just in time for summer.
I didn't use any ankle reducers either!
ReplyI've lost about 10 pounds in the last 10 days or so and have noticed that my ankles and calves are much thinner and I can see the veins in my feet. Must be the fluid loss?
ReplyYea really nice invention. Some people might think it is great or at least try it due to swollen kankles.

Well, in 1924, just about the only thing you could show off were your ankles. But I don't know how "dainty" they would look wrapped in rubber stockings!
ReplyRT is right, they still sell some pretty ridiculous stuff, these would go like crazy on late night t.v. with a very loud man screaming about them.
ReplyWell, It's quite useful for people who are constantly worried about their legs.
ReplyThe picture isn't really that realistic, I mean could a leg be that shapely?
But It's ahead of it's time ... grugingly said.
yes, actually, a leg could be that shapely... i happen to have a pair! no kankles though, thank god
