My first experience with a pyramid or MLM as they like to call them was Primerica. Wow, what a joke. I spent a LOT of money trying to make it work, then I realized it was just sucking out of me.

Then for two years I did Mary Kay, just to get a discount on the make-up. I never spent a lot, so it wasn't a big deal.

The lastest "scam" to hit my friends is Monavie. They are WAY into it. It's a juice that comes from the acai berry, and while I admit it's healthful stuff, it comes packaged in a wine bottle, and goes for a little over $40 a bottle.

Everything they do now involves Monavie. It's really sad. Everything has become a "tasting event." Their motto is, drink it, feel it, share it.

They make pretty good income from it (for doing it for two years) but they spend a lot too.
