Don’t be fooled by the bright lights of the big Cyber Monday sales. Behind the enticing ads and flashy websites lurk products poor in concept, production, and price. The List advises vigilance against pseudo deals like these.

Cabela’s Cuddle Wrap, $19.99
Look past the dazzling patterns and see this product for what it is: a Snuggie in sheep’s clothing. Except a real Snuggie retails for $14.95. BAD DEAL. -
Dr. Siegals Cookie Diet Chocolate Cookies Meal Replacements One-Week Supply from Walgreens, $39.99
No matter how much you reduce the price, an all-cookie meal plan will never reduce your weight or adequately balance your diet. BAD DEAL. -
Livescribe 2GB Pulse Smartpen from Staples, $99.99
This pen has been marked down $30. It’s still a $100 pen. BAD DEAL. -
Nike yoga strap, $5.97
This “durable cotton strap with a buckle” promises to help you “ease into stretching poses” when plagued by “tight hamstrings.” The 40 percent savings doesn’t make this product any less baffling. BAD DEAL. -
Oriental Trading Jingle Bell Necklaces, a dozen for $5.49
Shipping is free on these seasonable baubles, but you have to spend $75 to get the $10 gift card offering. That means 13 orders, or 156 jingle bell necklaces—excessive by any measure. BAD DEAL.

Seriously disagree with The List. All cookie diets have worked wonders for my figure. But I do think that 156 jingle bells is a bit excessive.

I urge you to consult science for a definitive answer to the question of an all-cookie diet's effectiveness
