Bodega clerks said their sky-high sales suggest otherwise.That deserves my tag "charming bad logic."
"People come in and buy them all the time," said a lower East Side bodega worker, who refused to give his name. "I think they work because people keep coming in for them."
The bodega clerk's logic is fine, but the Daily News reporter and editor — whoever wrote "suggest otherwise" — are missing an element: Placebos work.

Placebos work.
I don't think they work that well.
Vanity works better.
As they used to teach in med school, the placebo effect IS an effect.
well why shouldn't guys be able to buy ED stuff over the counter anyway? all the restrictions are ridiculous...oh I know, lawsuits.
just don't elect a placebo as president.
It's all in the head. Which head, you ask?
I'd have said placebos work *especially* well at boosting confidence.
Wasn't that the whole point of Dumbo's magic feather?
