Today’s Awkward Groupon Deal

Groupon is expanding the kinds of deals it offers. Groupon’s also trying to personalize deals you see. Add these two trends together and you get this awkward come-on. “67% Off Colon-Clea nse” along with some pledge that “Groupon’s Getting Personal.” That’s right: Groupon is now offering us discounted colon cleanses. After giggling for a a minute at the concept, we… giggled some more at the actual deal itself.

Your body is a temple, and it sometimes needs a good dusting of the ductwork to make especially devout microbes take their leave. Tend the temple and polish the pipes with today’s Groupon: for $49, you get a colon-cleanse treatment at Inner Fire Integrative Health Services (a $150 value). Choose between its Manhattan and Park Slope locations.

Dueling home repair and Buddhist worship metaphors aside, the Groupon copywriter clearly had some fun writing about the “calming tans and beiges” of Inner Fire Integrative Health Services’ decor. Also: “Inner Fire.”
