👍 Well, if that's the case, there's nothing to worry about. It’s the real deal!

I wanted to follow up with a few more thoughts on the Optimum Nutrition powder... I’ve been mixing 30 grams with about a cup of milk, and I have to say, the texture is great—it doesn't foam up at all, and the chocolate flavor is actually quite decent. Compared to the other brands I used to grab, like MusclePharm or similar stuff, those would always leave me with a head of bubbles. With this one, there's virtually zero foam.

How does it work on your end? Are you getting any foam when you shake it up? I'm really just trying to figure out if I've got the genuine article here or if I accidentally picked up some knockoff. 🙂

Thanks for the help.

Best,

Hey everyone!

So, a few days ago I picked up some Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey. I found a listing on Craigslist for $133 (2.3 kg), and since I’ve never actually bought this specific tub before, I wasn't entirely sure what the packaging was supposed to look like in person. Honestly? This thing looks sketchy as hell. The print quality on the label is pretty terrible, and to top it off, that "sealed for your protection" sticker wasn't even stuck down.

All in all, I feel like I might have just thrown my money down the drain. Should I be genuinely worried here?? It didn't even cross my mind that there were actually fake protein powders out there floating around!?!?

Or maybe I'm just being paranoid and overthinking it 😕. Let me know what you guys think.
