So there I am a few days ago in my kitchen preparing my "snack box" for school. I usually fill up 2 baggies with 2 servings of protein powder for before/after my workout along with some cereal and a thermos full of milk to mix my powder. I notice that I'm low on powder, so I stop by my old gym on the way home from school.

Prolab Strawberry Pure Whey protein... 22g protein per serving, 71 servings per container... $30. That's about 2 cents per gram... I grab the 5-lb tub and buy it. Next day I'm there at school mixing my powder in the shaker as usual, I take the cap off of the shaker to chug it... wtf?
There's powder all over the cap and on the top, some of the strawberry goo slips out through the top and pours down the side... I pour the "liquid" into a cup and hear little chunks plopping down. I take a sip and there's chunks o' protein in my mouth instead of the usual smoothness that I'm used to. I go home later that day and put the same amount of milk and powder in the blender and give it a whirl... still chunky! Even in the blender! Pissed off, I call the gym and tell my story and ask them if I can return it. Basically they told me "what? open container? LOL, FUCK YOU PAL! yer stuck with it!" So here I am with a $30 tub of useless protein. God, this sucks. Makes me wish I shopped at GNC with their little "no questions asked" return policy.

Lol bomber... I tried that but the 2 GNC's that I visited don't have it. I'm gonna start calling GNCs on Monday. Even if I have to drive into the next county, I want my damn $30!

I work at GNC and my advise is to find a Corporate GNC (they are usually in malls, make sure u ask on the phone if they are franchise or Corp) The franchise owners have there own rules and might not like that policy but all our corp stores have to follow it. Just don't buy those damn drug cleansers and then come in and say it didn't work cause I know it did

HERE IS WHAT U DO...GO IN THE STORE AND WHEN THE SALESMAN (MAKESURE HE IS NOT BEHIND THE COUNTER) COMES TO HELP YOU THROW THE BUCKET OF PROTEIN HIGH AND SO IT WILL LAND ON HIS HEAD...WHEN HE LOOKS UP TO CATCH IT SIDE-KICK HIM IN THE STOMACH..IF HE DOESNT GO TO CATCH IT, IT WILL FALL ON HIS HEAD...TALK ABOUT A CATCH 22 EH?

Bro,

Do not worry about it, it is only $30. I know it sucks but I have wasted a hell of a lot more money than that on shitty ass protein powder that either taste like shit or does not mix well at all. Find one you like and stick with it...
