I happened upon this expression, yet again, while purchasing a cloth brace for my sore foot. When I noticed the "disclaimer" I couldn't help but wonder what went down at that meeting table during the politically correct conference that so cleverly developed this saying.
I imagined what a few of the discarded, deemed non-politically correct, rejects might have been:
- Warning: If you have ever worried about breaking, or have already broken a chair, this product will not fit you.
- One Size Fits "Normal" People
- If you are considered overweight, obese or morbidly obese, this product may not fit you.
- If your foot is sore due to weight problems, this brace probably will not fit you.
- In the event that this product feels too small, please do not return for refund. Contact your local chapter of Weight Watchers instead.
- Warning: do not purchase if your pants are too tight.
- One Size Fits Most People Who Do Not Have an Extra Stomach Roll.
- If you are worried about his product fitting, it won't, put it back.
- If the use of this product cuts off circulation to vital limbs, you are too fat.
- One Size Fits Most* (*If you notice this disclaimer, this product will be too small for you.)
- If you cringe at the thought of amusement park rides, water parks or an invitation to go canoeing, this product will not fit you.

LOL, that is so funny! I dread to think what marketing folk say about fat folk when they sit round those tables (shudder).
One size fits most size 0 models...
