The (Fruity) Fall of Grapefruit 45 | GRAPEFRUIT ISN'T MAGIC DANG IT | History in the Dark

Grapefruit 45 was a product heavily advertised in the 1980s building on the Grapefuit Diet, a fad diet dating back to the 1930s that claimed eating half a grapefruit with your meals would cause you to lose weight. That's not how that works, and Grapefruit 45 didn't work either.
