Did MyDailyChoice acquire Syntek Global?
Given the current global situation, some of you probably saw this coming a mile away:
A reader sent in a recent livestream by Candace Byrd Davis. In it she’s promoting “Fuel Factor X”.
None of this is really newsworthy on its own, but then a specific pitch from Davis caught my attention.
Fuel Factor X is not … going to be the same thing that you find in Advanced Auto. It’s not going to be the same thing that you find in AutoZone.
Here’s why: This particular product here has a chemistry that is backed by a Nobel Prize that was won back in 1973.
So the chemistry of this product is exclusive to our company … it’s exclusive to us.
Wait a minute… I’ve heard this pitch before.
I punched “fuel saver nobel” into Google and sure enough Syntek Global came up.
Here’s the exact same “Nobel Prize from 1973” marketing pitch:
Syntek Global launched in 2007 with its flagship “Xtreme Fuel Treatment”. The branding is different but the bottle is remarkably similar to My Daily Choice’s Fuel Factor X bottle.
But hang on, if Candace Davis’ is to be taken at face value, Fuel Factor X is exclusive to My Daily Choice.
Cool. So what happened to Syntek Global then?
About a week ago Syntek Global’s public and distributor backoffice websites were pulled. They’ve been down and remain down at time of publication.
I went looking for an official corporate announcement but couldn’t find one. Which is strange.
What tipped the scales of probability for me was, prior to launching My Daily Choice, Josh Zwagil was a Syntek Global distributor.
BehindMLM noted this in our 2015 My Daily Choice review.
What’s crucial to point out here is that Syntek Global operated as a pyramid scheme. In the company’s own words;
Sponsoring new distributors and helping them do the same is key to building volume in your organization.
While they might have risen drastically recently, it’s not like gas prices have gotten any cheaper since I reviewed Syntek Global in 2011.
So why didn’t Xtreme Fuel Treatment ever take off outside of the recruitment-driven MLM opportunity? How hard can it be to sell fuel savings???
And therein lies the rub.
In the absence of an official corporate announcement, here’s as close as I was able to unofficially confirm My Daily Choice has acquired Syntek Global;
A FaceBook account bearing the name “Xtreme Fuel Treatment USA – Syntek Global”, introduced Fuel Factor X as “the new XFT” on March 27th.
If you visit the domain in the post, you’re redirected to a My Daily Choice “Independent Affiliate” website:
I’ll leave it there, save to say the regulatory environment has evolved since Syntek Global’s heyday.
My Daily Choice is based out of the US. Given the current gas market I’m certain this is an area the FTC is anticipating shenanigans in.
This could be a problem is Fuel Factor X demonstrably falls short of its marketing claims.
Earlier today MyDailyChoice announced “MDC 2.0”:
Seeing as I haven’t revisited the company since 2015, I’ve queued MyDailyChoice up for a review update. I’ll leave an update on the outcome below when it comes up.
Thank you for info.
Please update on MDC and Syntek.
As far as I know My Daily Choice hasn’t publicly confirmed acquiring Syntek Global.
I think they’re just going to stick with the “hey guys, new product that isn’t really new” marketing.
MDC has made it clear that this is the original FXT formula – no one is trying to say it isn’t.
If they were being clear about it, surely the first step would be announcing acquisition of Syntek Global?
Instead Fuel Factor X is being presented as a new product. I had to go digging to suss out the Syntek Global connection.
Not being marketed as new, if so not by design!!
All of the material I have been shown on the product clearly tells me that this product has been around, was in great demand 2008 – when gas prices spiked, its being promoted today for a few reasons, it will reduce harmful emissions, save you money on gas by burning less fuel and a slower burn, also it has been proven safe, beyond safe, to very helpful in prolonging engine wear, I just don’t know why people want to take everything that can be good and make it a bad thing. So exhausting!
Why would people that run companies LIE TO YOU ABOUT WHAT THIS DOES FOR THEIR COMPANY?,
automotive dealers, farm managers, race car drivers love the extra horse power!
Any who… don’t let these haters steal your goals and dreams. Getting married, going to collage, having children, working 5 of EVERY 7 you have is NOT THE ONLY WAY TO SUPPORT YOUR FAMILIES! You are allowed to be different.
They weren’t being deceptive. And if they were here’s a bunch of excuses!!
If there was no intent to pass off Fuel Factor X as a new product, why change the name?
Why not just be honest? Hey guys, we bought my old company and are re-releasing their product.
So why didn’t Syntek Global ever take off beyond being an autoship pyramid scheme then? Why isn’t the product everywhere?
Yes you’re very good at regurgitating marketing but answer those questions in your own words.
That I can’t answer, you’d have to ask them. All I can do is point out deception when I see it.
And with that you’ve undermined your entire comment. Such a shame.
I’ll reply however, its not the way I normally choosse to spend my time.
You ask questions about the way its marketed, call it deception, all negative. You might choose to market it one way, another company would market it a different way, if the product performs it doesn’t matter if they ANNOUNCE themselves as rebranding an old product, that dumb! (Ozedit: marketing spam removed)
Princess, you came on here to make excuses for questionable conduct. Let’s not pretend anyone sought you out.
I asked two very specific questions:
You dodged these with marketing spam. It’s OK if you don’t know the answers, just say so and we can move on.
Nothing worse than a shill coming up with excuses to justify concepts they can’t grasp.
They have said it from day one this was not new..that Josh was actually an affiliate with the company that represented this product. Made millions I believe.
There is no questionable conduct. They have exclusive rights to a product that could help people save at the pump, and get paid doing so. What’s the problem with that?
There’s a screenshot from My Daily Choice’s FaceBook page from March. At the time the company announced its “newest product”.
There was no disclosure of Syntek Global or rebranding of the existing product. To this day My Daily Choice hasn’t addressed whether it’s purchased Syntek Global.
If My Daily Choice has addressed this internally since publication of this review, that’s great. But it doesn’t change the facts at time of publication.
If you have evidence of My Daily Choice confirming acquisition of Syntek Global or being honest about the rebranding circa late March or early April, feel free to provide it and I’ll update the article.
Pretending a rebranded product that’s been around for years is new and not disclosing the possible purchase of the defunct company who owns it is questionable conduct.
Josh might have made millions but if XFT was so great, why isn’t Syntek Global around today?
There’s currently a strong marketing push of this product in Nigeria.
I’ve actually heard of a previous version, which was marketed in an MLM form several years back. I was researching this one when I came across this page.
On the product’s merit-
I’m not sure how I really save money, if I use the product cost to simply buy more petrol. Based on the pricing here, I’d get more than 20% more fuel than using this.
On the issues you raised in your assessment-
I don’t know why those commenting don’t seem to understand. After all, companies change hands all the time; they even create media events to generate PR for their ‘new’ business.
So why the excuses for the ‘hush hush’ manner in which the business changed ownership? And I certainly hope they can provide legal papers to show that this is not that.
Secondly, MLM companies have been around for over 50 years. And for the oldest ones, their products are household names.
So I also, don’t get why a product as unique as this would take off, then disappear; only to try and make a comeback as a completely different product.
Smells fishy, is all I’m saying.
God bless
There have been dozens of Gas Pill MLMs through the years all making the same promise. Increase mileage by 15-30%, decrease toxic emissions and lower engine wear.
Yet almost all of those companies are no longer in business. There is one good reason for this, the gas pills never work as advertised.
Ever.
Think of it this way, if the pills worked as promised AND it could be proven to work in an independent 3rd party lab, it would start a bidding war between oil companies for the rights to add the pills active ingredients to their gasoline.
Yet that will never happen which is why the only way to gas pills is through shabby MLMs where no one asks for real proof.
Wrong. Your personal bias is clogging your critical thinking ability.
It’s all about the price of gas. Period.
That’s why these companies take off and then fizzle. Gas shot up 15 years ago and the gas pills became viable. Meaning the savings offset the cost of the pills.
Likewise, in 2021-22, the price of gas went over $4 and the pills became very viable. But when gas dropped back down, laziness overcame fear, the savings was less, so people backed off and started looking for another shiny object.
As the price creeps back up, and will stay up this time, the pills will remain viable.
It’s called math.
What dumbass logic is this?
If the pills weren’t viable under a certain gas price they wouldn’t have kept on manufacturing them.
Fuel tabs tend to be attached to pyramid scheme MLM models. They collapse when new suckers run out.
Correlation != causation. It’s called math.
(Ozedit: derails removed)
So you still don’t understand the math, clearly. Or marketing.
The chemical composition of these products hasn’t changed as far as active ingredients in 30 years. These products are sold commercially and industrially, not for gas savings, but for engine-life extension and maintenance reduction.
Extending the life of engines and generators that cost 100’s of thousands of dollars saves companies millions.
Avg. Joe/Jill doesn’t even change their oil on schedule. They will only buy the pills when they can save on gas. But you don’t even understand the math on cost of pill vs. savings and how the price of gas factors in, so (Ozedit: snip, see below)
Nope. Savings is always front and center.
If the other BS was a thing the auto industry would have adopted it over “30 years”.
This isn’t rocket science.
Gas prices become marketable, out come the fuel tab pyramid schemes. They collapse and come back when gas prices are marketable again.
OK that’s enough from you. Best of luck with the hypotheticals and scam excuses.
I am a customer for about a year or more and the FFX has made my mileage go from 12-14 MPG to between 18-22, my car is a 2011 Ford Explorer with over 200,000 miles.
My car runs noticeably better with this product. The owner was quite upfront with saying he bought the company he was an affiliate of because he love the product.
My husband and I use it in all our engine equipment. Gas in my state is 5 bucks and over so I really love FFX now.
Yet here we are, with nobody outside of MLM using FFX. Even after all these years.
Strange huh?
I love FFX works great for me that is my personal opinion and experience.
I stopped by this site because I did a Google search for an opportunity a friend sent me and thought I’d see what this site said about MyDailyChoice and thought I’d look around.
Do you have actual proof that nobody outside of MLM is using this product I would like to see it. You make some bold claims on businesses.
I used FFX once and my car was able to fly to the moon and back. When it comes to MLM due-diligence my opinion and personal experience, like yours, is meaningless.
Where are the peer-reviewed studies proving to the world 12-14 MPG turns into 18-22 MPG?
Syntek Global was a pyramid scheme and collapsed.
You’re also asking for proof of a negative. Engage brain and ask yourself why everyone on the planet isn’t using miracle fuel tabs.
