Four hours of joy at a time, with Slim-Fast

According to this Slim-Fast ad (which is new to me, if no one else), their diet shakes will give you a lobotomized grin, horrible tribal tattoos around your belly button, and up to four hours of blessed freedom from that disgusting urge we call hunger. Which sounds impressive, until you realize how much time passes between midday and evening meals. Not to rain too hard on Slim-Fast’s parade here, but I think they could muster a better rallying cry than “Hey, world! We’re almost as filling as lunch!”
