What do you know about "Tahitian Noni International"?

I was invited to a presentation today and attended. I chose to attend because the person who invited me asked me "are you looking for other streams of income without having to quit your day job while working from home?", and I answered yes.
I have to say it was a very interesting presentation(talking about wealth, how rich people make money, and all that etc...)

I was told...All you have to do is pay $299. You'll make that money back in a few months or maximum 12 months.

I was expecting some kind of Bernie Madoff scheme and almost felt intimidated with all the men wearing sharp suits and all...I only came with a simple shirt and tie.
Is this another Cutco/pre-paid legal scheme? I don't quite get it yet...
Does anyone have any information?

The only info I seem to understand is that you signup as a business partner(distributor), then network and convince people to use Noni products and signup or whatever.
 
You sign up and pay your money and then you get to run around and try to get all your friends to sign up too.


Repeat until you run out of friends.

So basically the same thing as Cutco(et. al) except you get to actually make money while doing that?

*EDIT*
I hate those type of things where you have to convince people, open your telephone and tell every single person on your contact list...that's ridiculous.

That did't provide much information.

Tahitian Noni International (TNI), a subsidiary of Morinda Holdings, Inc., is a multi-level marketing company that markets products made from the noni plant.

That pretty much provides all the info you need..

MLM company
products from the noni-plant


what else did you want to know?
 
their main product goes for $42 per liter
so that is what, about 64 times more expensive than gasoline

Surprisingly, they spent some time preaching about that, but not most.
Our product has zero adverse effect according to PDR(Physician's Desk Reference), it's scientifically proven to alleviate/treat many states, we've been featured on Discover Health channel for hundreds of hours.
One of them even had the balls to tell me "You're a pharmacist, go and read your PDR" at the end of the presentation.

They then went on to talk about Coca-Cola, McDonalds, Subway(I assume they were trying to explain distributor/franchise relationship and why those companies were successful, etc...)

They spent more time talking about business and wealth than doing direct advertising for their product.
"Why is Dasani making tons of profit from water that doesn't even come from a spring?"
"Why is Heinz recording tons of profits from what is basically tomato paste(ketchup)?"
"The CEO of a Fortune 500 company doesn't care about you or other employees, only shareholders"...Start your own business, be your own boss etc...

Of course they showed the typical fantastic figures of earn up to $5k/8k/10k/15k/24k/month on the side.

It's interesting that you can't find their main product in any store.
At $42 per liter, who'd pay that?

Because it's a product of PEPSI COLA and their marketing department does wonders

"Why is Heinz recording tons of profits from what is basically tomato paste(ketchup)?"

Because the average household stopped growing their own tomatoes, and herbs, back in the 1800's.

"The CEO of a Fortune 500 company doesn't care about you or other employees, only shareholders"

no shit? any business cares only about the shareholders and profit. this isn't rocket science.

Pretty much. Don't be that douchebag in the group. Nobody's gonna want to be around you because of the continuous horse shit you spout at every opportunity :^S

I was given a possible "contact" list.
Your father, mother, brother, uncle, aunt, cousin? Your doctor? Your dentist? Your coworkers? Your boss?

Good thing I left my phone home, huh?

I mentioned that but was rebuffed.
Me: Who'd pay $42/L on that?
Them: People spend more money on prescriptions than that. People waste time buying prescription to treat the effects of the prescription they're taking to treat the effects of the other prescriptions they're taking when all they have to do is stop wasting money on those prescriptions and just drink noni juice. Again our product has zero adverse effect. Zero. Nada. Zilch. Hola loopa." (Ed. okay, that last word wasn't really said, I just added it)

I was perplexed.

Their response:
Your friends would be happy that you're helping them preventing cancer, diabetes, etc...

That's pretty much the whole story to this.
Every single health claim was mentioned from diabetes, cancer, hypertension, asthma, fibromyalgia, obesity, acne, addictions, depression, and ADHD. 😕
I'm surprised they didn't mention seasonal influenza and swine flu. The person just said I'm not worried about any flu, I have a strong immune system thanks to drinking it.
I'm sure I forgot dozens of other health claims. Someone nearby on another table sneezed and they turned around and said "see the bugs want to come out" to her and she laughed(I assume they tried talking to the person earlier before I got there).
I was given a piece of paper with their supposed "proven" health claims. I'll post that later.

Profit margin is worse than that actually.
You buy them at $31.5/L, you sell at $42/L.

No, but they claimed you can buy one and make a tax write off on it.
