What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore?

"may be a placebo"

My friend, there is no "may".

Also, you can buy Tic Tacs from any newsagent or gas station.

Not to defend homeopathy, but a big part of why placebo works is how we percieve the medicine/treatment.

Tic tacs wouln't work as well as fake medicine (aka homeopathy) because they don't look as "official".
