Buy Walking VideosAir Shorts
Just looking at these Air Shorts makes me laugh, but then I learned that they were so popular that there were TWO companies making them. Here is the description on how they are supposed to make you slim:
Inflatable exercise shorts for men and women. Wear while doing your morning sit-ups, housework, etc. Great for exercise and for shedding body moisture. Inflate to fit. Gives support and massage at waist, hips, thighs, buttocks. One size fits all. Inflates with a simple tube.
They charged seven bucks for those ghastly things back in the 70’s, which would equate to about 38 dollars now. Would you pay forty bucks for those ugly things?!
The next time you’re tempted to buy something for weight loss, remember the Air Shorts. Save your hard earned money and let the fads fall by the wayside.

I hate to admit that I’ve done things that were just as stupid to lose weight. Ahhhh… Thanks, this really highlights the ridiculousness of it all. At the same time, I can relate and feel compassion for all the people walking around in their air shorts!

sewell, by any chance, do you have those inflatable shorts for sale? I’m interested in buying them off you if you still have them for historical purposes.
