why does muscle milk have such a hype?

[viczeva]

hey guys,
stupid question for u guys... i bought a bottle of muscle milk about 2-3 weeks ago and now its gone. so i went to gnc today, where it is $31 for the 2.4 lb. it seems its incredibly expensive, specially since a 6lb 100% whey protein was the same price. when i asked the guy there, what the difference was, he told me the only difference was taste. im sure there is more to it, i think one serving of musle milk is like 640 calories.... but is that it? what makes it so good?
i ended up buying the 6 lb container of whey, but should i have bought the muscle milk? does it matter? kind of a dumb question, but just wanted your opinions. what do u guys think?

It can be had on the net for $16.00 plus shipping. GNC is the devil. I think it tastes good but I wouldnt use it 3 times a day or during a cutting phase.

What i don't get is how it suggusts for post w/o use. No carbs? I use it as a meal replacement of before bed, but why would one use it post workout?

Mix it 50/50 with ISO-AGB from AF - you can cut the cals and fat down and keep the taste and the protein

cuz it doesn't taste like shit.

I only use it as post workout, pushes carbs back into your system plus protein, I take my regular whey 3 other times a day, also I chug it after my workouts, I like the hint of sweetness also after I have been drinking water all thru my workout

I use it as a meal replacement. Usally breakfast. I dont have time to cook and I can get in a good 500+ cals with skim/nofat milk ice in a blender and its damn good. Whats not to like? I get it for about 25$ at the local Vitamin Shoppes that have new deals all around town. Cheaper then any other food.

imo it is best used pre-workout, it will make you sweat a bit more than usual.. its supposed to get you burning fat. i like it, but GNC is a rip-off, even if you have a gold card...
its supposed to be formulated like a womans breast milk.. i remember i was at the gym with my brother and our friend, and i bought us one each.. our friend had never had one before, and i mentoined it to him that they were formulated similar to breast milk.. he was totally disgusted by that and wouldnt drink anymore.. haha more for me
also if you like the powder and havent tried the RTD's, the RTD's taste way better, though both are good
