No Jet Lag

There is a product from New Zealand called "No Jet Lag." It is a chewable pill full of natural herbal supplements that claims to reduce the effects of jet lag. It has been tested successfully with flight attendants and other long haul travellers. However, the guy a REI where I bought this miracle pill warned me that they don't actually work. I bought a pack anyway. As long as they did something - anything - to mitigate the exhaustion of transpacific jet lag then they would be worth the $11.50 price tag.

It turns out that after only three days and nights, I was almost completely adjusted to the new time zone. Those pills must've worked. But it turns out that you don't need to chew them. Or even take them out of the wrapper. Apparently, just spending $11.50, putting them in a secret pocket in your carry on bag and forgetting all about them and keeping is enough to prevent jet lag.
