What the heck did they do to N-Large2???

TheCypher · 03-03-2005, 09:13 AM

I am so mad right now!! I have been using ProLabs N-Large2 for almost a year now. Loved the taste. It mixes easily and it actually worked for me. So I just ordered my refill 10 lb tub as I do every few weeks and I was in for a rude surprise.

First of all the cap on the white bucket was different. It threw me off a bit. The old cap had like 3 locking extensions and was just fine. The new one has like 8 of them and it is a pain to open the tub each time. Well that was the least of my problems. I threw out the new cap and used the one from the tub I had just emptied.

The real problem started yesterday morning when I had my first serving. The flavor was different, the taste was different. I knew there was something wrong but didn't pay as much attention.

Same thing this morning. The damn thing doesn't even mix well with a shaker anymore. Luckily I had the old bucket in my laundry room waiting for the recycle day so I got it and started comparing the label. Lone behold they freakin changed it!!

The old one was 600 calories - The new one is 580
The new one has more fat and the cholestrol went from 100 to 145 mg. They reduced the sugar by like 4 gms and the total carbs by like 4 or 5 gms. I don't care much about these changes because they don't mean anything. Yeah so the sugar went from 28 to 24 gms do I care?

The thing that upsets me is they messed up the smell, the taste and most of all the damn thing doesn't mix well in a shaker anymore. The old powder was so darn good with the shaker. You got a nice smooth shake in a minute. The new one sucks. No matter how long and how vigorously you shake it leaves like a million little globs all over the place.

Is there anyway to voice a complaint someplace??

May be at Prolabs they don't know the simple rule of life:

IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FREAKIN FIX IT!!!!!!!!!

The genuis behind this idea needs to be fired. I am not buying this crap anymore!!!

Thanks for listening. I had to vent!!

I went to the ProLab site and provided feedback and within an hour I got the following response:

I'll bet periodically the CS people and R&D people from various labs log in here and check out what people say about their stuff. . .. wouldn't you?
