Got the order replaced and drank one. It's pretty bad. I wish I had paid the $0.50 difference for other flavours but now I and some stupid motherfucker have to drink 36 of these.

Worst theft I had was I ordered 4 of those Japanese kit-kats with neat looking flavors from the local Asian Market since they were doing some free shipping and coupon sale. When I checked the mail seeing they'd been delivered I discovered someone had ate them all and stuffed the wrappers in the mailbox. I still get irrationally furious thinking of it, if I ever need to channel the hangry for whatever reason that's a top thought.

This is why I prefer unflavoured protein powder, but it rarely goes on sale so if I'm being cheap I have to roll the dice on if a giant tub of it has a bearable flavour or not.

I figured I'd be safe with chocolate but it's like if chocolate milk was made with water and splenda.

They don't want to add more carbs to it so they use the worst artificial sweeteners on it.

I started doing my own mixes:

pumpkin spice, and add just enough brown sugar and to be drinkable.
chocolate, with cocoa powder, cinnamon, and white sugar

I usually use 2-4tbsp of my mixes per serving of protein powder. Matcha powder is a good flavouring too, but I don't work out in the morning so I don't want the caffeine.
