"No big belly after three boxes of tea!"
A famous Chinese comic who endorsed “Tibetan Secret Fat Elimination Tea” has been sued for making the above false claim. According to a Reuters report on the lawsuit, comedian Guo Degang‘s bold claim became a catchphrase in China.
The unhappy customer says she lost no weight at all and suffered nausea and vomiting after drinking the allegedly slimming beverage. She originally drank the tea because she was a Guo Degang fan.
Coincidentally, fans of ours lose no weight at all and suffer from nausea and vomiting– without ingesting any tea at all. We just might be subject to a Chinese lawsuit!

“Zhang is seeking an apology and damages of 172 yuan ($22) from…the tea producer… with a claim that they are guilty of commercial fraud.” I take it the value of an apology in China is worth around 700,000 yuan.
