Whats with all the PES select hype?

[DoitsuJin]

late to the thread, but chocolate is my favorite. lol

[Wiffleball]

Is it confirmed that PES is making a good tasting dirt protein flavor?

[giarmyjoe]

Snickerdoodle is second best protein to iforce BSMOC for pro oats in my opinion

Only drank one scoop in water rest of the time it's been in my oatmeal- taste and texture is on point

[dailob]

Many flavors from ON are actually superior to any of these Select flavors, to include Salted Caramel, Choc PB, Ext Milk Choc, Coffee, and Mocha Cap.

lol never had SC but after having ON for years and years due to price, i'm glad i moved on to other companies and their flavorings

Select is designed to be sweet to reflect the flavour i.e.

yup - which is how i feel about PBC - very very salty lol

Peanut butter cup is a close second.

havent tried AB, but after everything else...

CnC > SD > PBC > Chocolate

late to the thread, but chocolate is my favorite. lol

i think you're the only one lol it's last in my book simply because chocolate is so... over-done lol

As long as it's the stuff with the chocolate pudding, crushed cookies, and gummy worms...would buy/10.

[RunningTall]

Would be interested to see if PES can do a fruit flavor (orange creamsicle or banana cream perhaps). Snickerdoodle was really good but far from GOAT. Hella sweet, can't drink it every day. I consider it an occasional treat rather than a solid staple protein.

I haven't had a shake in a good minute but decided to make one this morning as I am trying to figure some things out with digestion that is going on. Anyways, if you haven't, which I am sure most have, Snickerdoodle + Milk Chocolate is GOAT!!!

Unsweetened cashew milk + ice cubes + SD + MC + a dash of cinnamon = deliciousness in a cup straight to the face

I like the arrogance of thinking people must be nut huggers because your own opinion differs from others.

Speaking for myself, I don't have opinion on Select as I haven't tried it and have no plans to. That said, I think it is painfully obvious to anyone with half a brain and nuts to admit it that vast majority of posters on the Supps forum are nut-huggers in one way or another - with some pretty sad cases here and there.

I agree with that.

I hug no-ones nuts! I think snockerdoodle is very good (9/10). I have never been a fan of CnC powders but tried select and didn't hate it, but didn't love it, it was just there (5/10). And I have noticed the little hard bits others have mentioned in Blondie, its kinda like little rice crispies or something. Having never had a real blondie before, I can't say how it compares but for a shake it get a 6.5-7/10 from me.

this. I've tried some of the so popular the protein here to find the only good tasting protein is PES chocolate and BB.COM protogen cnc. and it is not only protein but even with preworkouts. the nut hugging is strong

[Mr.Cooper69]

Eh, most objective evidence (aka real-world sales/returns/feedback/trials) suggest PES Select actually is one of the best tasting proteins around. There's a world outside of this forum bubble. I don't expect everyone to like Select obviously, but if someone likes it, they shouldn't be labeled a nuthugger. I don't frequent the boards a whole lot anymore but I don't ever see the same 1 or 2 non-reps in select threads. I see new posters every time

[AMeyer9]

PES still has "nut huggers" though. Just like BPI. Everytime something is on sale a thread pops up about it and it goes 5 pages long. Helps to have a mod with the company though im sure I'm not dissing your products, Im just saying Snickerdoodle was good, not great. I can't speak for the other flavors.

How do sales reflect how good/bad a protein tastes?

I hope you're not talking to me. Because I never said anything even remotely close to that. God help your soul.

[Joe D]

I just tried snickerdoodle for the first time. It smells really pleasant. Even my mom who thinks every supplement is gross, said it smelled like vanilla and cookies. I mixed a scoop in 7oz of cold water. It wasn't too sweet at all for me. It had a nice hint of cookies, but a had a strong chemical aftertaste. Will see how it is in oats.

[kbayne]

Haters gone hate and lovers gone love.

Just like cooper said, if people enjoy Select, then awesome, and if not, theres a numerous amount of other brands to pick from.

God help my soul and your context comprehension. I was replying to Cooper's post.

Oats or almond milk is the way to go with Snickerdoodle IMO. Amazing in oats, and while most proteins taste better in milk or almond milk than water, it's really good in vanilla unsweetened almond milk.

[Vinny82]

Curious what else you've tried? I thought Blue Frost High Volume and Nanaberry Ergonine were outstanding, for example. Guess it just goes to show you how subjective taste is.

I have used many of their products from being swayed on these boards, alphamine old and new, amino iv, had samples of Select, actually come to think of it I have used every product in their current lineup now except for Shift. I have to say alphamine is probably my favorite fat burner of all time, close to OG oxy elite, but it has a terrible stim like aftertaste that you used to get with a lot of the 1,3 products IMO. Amino IV, also had a strange aftertaste, and while I have only had samples of select snickerdoodle, I was not really impressed by the texture or taste really tasted chemically to me. High Volume was ok, but once again the after taste burned my stomach a bit, but if a product works I don't really care about taste ( I went through multiple tubs of OG animal rage which tastes like piss), I just felt hemavol worked and tasted better to me. Outside of that, was not a fan of the new Erase, and the new Anabeta Elite was good, but deff increased my anxiety when I took it so I probably wont use it again. Not bashing PES at all theres many people on these forums that like their products but I have given them a fair chance and really only liked a few.

How do sales reflect how good/bad a protein tastes?

Initial sales maybe not, but repeat sales would indicate happiness with a product. No one is buying a product twice that they think is disgusting.

As for the OP here's how I see it. I don't like the flavor of snickerdoodle anything (insert mental health joke here) so I've never tried it.

Chocolate: Solid flavor. Not the greatest chocolate out there but definitely solid.
Cookies N Cream: Different tasting than many other brands of cookies n cream but really like this.
Peanut butter cup: One of my all time favorite tasting powders. It loses to Vanilla Mint Swirl Protean, but not many others.

Haven't tried Blondie, but really want to.

As everyone else has said taste is so subjective. Cherry Limeade Amino IV OG is still one of my favorite tasting powdered drinks of all time and many people say they don't like it.

I agree with you about the strong after taste with Alphamine...I've used it for about a week so far so I can't comment on the results but yes, the aftertaste is strong....
As for High Volume, I love the taste and the effects...one of my favorite products out there..

Haven tried Select yet

[Ripper908]

I think since the majority on here brag how good it is I would despise it

This section seems to have the opposite taste buds of mine

[Rushie]

My bad, I didn't see your invisible reply with his name invisibly bolded so I knew who you were talking to.

Hence the need for context comprehension of the conversation you were involved in (even without direct quotes).

[TMac26]

I must be in the minority. I love OG Amino IV both flavors.

As do i.. Plus the LV was unique and made that product different on the market which was a great inclusion

don't worry the peasants here prefer the taste of mud. leave select for the nobles

Ordered Snickerdoodle today. Will be back Wednesday with a taste review
