I came across this today:

So here’s the conversation I imagine happened leading to this ad:

Jim: “Hey Bob – how are those new sandals coming along?”

Bob: “Not so hot, Jim.  We were trying to make sandals easier to walk with, but it’s backfiring.”

Jim: “Backfiring?  How?”

Bob: “They actually take MORE effort to walk in now.  And we’re scheduled to ship tomorrow!  We’ll lose our shirts!  How are we going to pitch these?”

Jim: “Hmm, more effort you say?  That gives me an idea….”

And so was born the so-called “leg-toning” sandal.
