Ad claims: "takes 10 days for full effect"

So I'm getting ready to travel this week, and I heard via Yahoo some news about one of the popular travel medicines that's supposed to keep you well. From the story:

"Airborne - the herbal supplement company that once claimed to help fight off colds - will pay $23.3 million to settle a class-action lawsuit brought against the company for false advertising, according to one of the groups that joined the suit."

The question is: Are you supposed to feel better knowing that you can get your money back?

Actually, I've never used the stuff so I have no idea if it works or not (even as a placebo), but I feel pretty good knowing that I wasn't duped.
