I avoided Metamucil for a long time, because "only old people use that."

Contempt without prior investigation and denial of my mortality is the true reason.

But once I started taking it I was sorely disappointed in myself that I did not start at least 10 years sooner.

Perhaps un-branded supplemental fiber is unburdened by the old people connotation? I probably still would have resisted.
