Maybe some, but the majority of the ones we have that aren’t gainers are in the 20 to 30 range…sad story. The price of protein has gone up for the manufacturers I believe so they skimp now.[/quote]
I think Dre means you make it 50 by putting in two scoops.

Exactly! Sometime I even go totally crazy and put in 4 scoops for 100 grams (In a blender w/ other awesome ingredients).

You sure are one crazy guy!!!

That’s why a cheat meal is something like pizza or Buffalo wings for me, as my shakes taste like Reese Peanut Butter Cups already so I don’t need to have chocolate bars.

Just had a male twig impersonator explain to me that he didn’t want to get “Grr accompanied by Hulk/most muscular pose big” just gain some muscle. Seemed like a nice guy and I think I got him started in the right direction, just the first time anyone has essentially used charades to explain his goal to me.

Happens all the damn time, like its easy to gain muscle right lol

I keep protein powder at work and one time a female coworker ( who’s a vegetarian and should know better) asked if it was for building big muscles.

Two suit and tie bros come in price shopping. They mention how they found a 10 lb tub of protein at Costco for $40 and if we had anything similar. Currently the cheapest 5 lb tub we have is $44 so I knew I wasn’t getting this sale. They then asked why I was gouging my customers so much…a challenge to you members of T NATION, what should my snarky reply have been?

You should eaither have cut their fucking throats.

and/or

Put it in their poopers.

Is this a trick question?

I was just asked if we carried “injectible proteins” by a group of Arabs. They then inquired about our current stock of dianabol.

It frightens me that there are people who are this stupid…but it reminded of a former co-worker.

I was needing a snack one day and the only thing around was some candy. I decided screw it I’ll enjoy some and plan better in the future. I was trying to make a decision and a young female co-worker says
“you should have the king size snickers instead of just the regular one.”
me - “Why?”
the genius - “it has less calories”
me - “What?”
the genius - “It has less calories, look at the label”
me - “It is the same food and literally twice as big, how could you even think that’s possible?”
the genius - “It has less just look at the label.”

As you can guess it was less calories per serving and there were 2.5 servings in the king size where you could see it had twice as many calories. She was stunned and horrified…as was I when she said she had been eating them for weeks thinking she would lose weight.

My dad always said,
a diet cokes makes you lose weight, and a chocolate bar makes you gain weight
so as long as the ratio is 1:1, you’re good (jokingly obviously)

I like this visual. I just need to find a way to work it into everyday conversation.

In today’s age, women have become brazen enough to flirt and come on sexually to men. Of course, like everything else women do, their system is flawed and usually result in awkward encounters like you experienced here. Next time you should inform her that the penis actually isn’t a muscle that can be built through resistance training or the consumption of flavored protein enriched beverages.

Is that what Null meant? He was way off. Sure, chicks dig me big time. But that one certainly wasn’t flirting.

I honestly have no clue if that’s what he meant. I just an opening for a witty insult towards the Milk Bearers.
