For two years, a St. Paul blogger known as “Daughter Number Three” has tracked — and mocked — UMS ads and Middleton products. She asked that her real name not be used; she’s received a cease-and-desist letter from a company lawyer.

The legal threat caused her to tweak a few of her still-caustic views about the effectiveness and value of the company’s products.

"They just drive me crazy," she says of the ad campaigns. "I'm sure they're not violating the letter of the law. But the 'advertorial' — the fake story, how they designed the ad — just struck me."

A chilling review

A call to the Mira-Cool 800 number reveals that the “free” unit costs $396. You must first buy a $298 model, then pay $98 more to have it and the “free” unit shipped.

Anyone who bought sea monkeys from the back of a kid’s comic book knows advertising claims can be overblown. But Middleton’s willingness to push buyer-beware boundaries can be seen by looking at a similar ad in a steamier state.

Apatrim is a stimulant-free diet pill that acts as an appetite suppressant and is intended to make weight loss occur more quickly and easily than dieting alone. Although the official website states that no healthy diet or exercise plan need be undertaken when taking this diet pill, there is the Apatrim Meal Plan that can be downloaded.

The official literature for Apatrim says that it allows for weight loss without the use of starvation or stimulants and the claim is that 100 percent of individuals who used the main ingredient in this drug were able to lose some weight. This main ingredient – the only one listed on the website – is Caralluma Fimbriata Plant Extract. This being said, there are no reputable clinical studies mentioned in order to back this claim.
