"Lettuce for instance, which grows in a small ball on the ground, can grow into a 10 foot tall 'tree' when a small amount of Gibberellic Acid is applied to the seedling. " Is this true? or a Sales Ploy?

Didn't you mean Gibberellic Acid? When Wiki had nothing on it, I knew something was wrong

I have the unitednuclear gibberilic acid (sp? bah) kit.... I cant wait for spring around campus....
but yes, it will do everything they say and more... but be careful with the stuff. Any plant you put it on cannot be eaten. Giberilic acid mutates cells into all kinds of weirdness, and who knows what may be carcinogenic or otherwise toxic. lettuce trees are a very simple experiment I have seen done. You'll have to build a scafolding to support your lettuce columns, but they certainly look weird.
Swiss chard is another fun one. You'll end up with leafs 6' tall and 4' across - but they wont really support their own weight, nor are they edible - so this is not a cure all for world hunger.
Used theraputeicly on trees and plants it can aide in helping stunted plants
Seeds treated with GA will almost certainly be female or express hermaphroditism - again don't use on food or herbal crops as the resulting plant may be highly toxic.
Grass will turn into corse mini-bamboo like stuff (ruins yards)
carrot tops will turn into shrubs (ugly shrubs)
Boxwood and certain other decorative hedge shrubs will start growing at an accelerated rate ending in a rather tight knot of stems and mutant curly leaves before the plant dies.
I have seen some really crazy stuff with GA at school where the biology students mess with it.
The only thing I know of that it's used for commercially is cloning hybrid plants that don't produce seeds. very weak (<50ppm) solutions are used on root tissues to culture more root cells and eventually whole plants. African Violets are very easy to clone at home if you can provide a fairly sterile terarium for them.
