Will people buy Snake Oil?

I have just formulated a new product that you apply around your ears in the form of a green gel.It improves the sound of any speaker by at least double.The only visible problem is it looks fairly strange and not many women are attracted too the look or smell.I don't guess this matters to much since most systems are listened to by one person at a time and about anything proclaimed to enhance the sound is acceptable.It's less than the price of rattlesnake meat and you get enough to last through space and drums 3 times.Now to the question.Will anyone buy it?

if your product is formulated from the droppings of your hifi cows runnin' in your hififarm fields, you'll likely need the approval of the department of agriculture, the epa and the fda. state and local authorities should also be notified of your, IMO, environmentally unsafe use of cow pies. -cfb

Since when does an "audio product" need to support the claims made for it or be subject to certification ? If the "green gel" is somewhat akin to "runny mucuous", you might even be able to claim that it is "all natural" too... Sean

sean: i'm afraid that hififarm might be subject to ftc scrutiny if they make "all natural" claims, even for runny mucuous. see, e.g.,: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/alerts/impoalrt.htm

I had heard that the green gel works better if the room is kept at a temperature of 67 degrees and if the listener wears a baseball cap that has a visor that is green as well. This is all silly because everyone knows that the red gel blows the green gel away.
