Can someone explain to me why the 2 threads about this product have over 10 , 000 views combined, and 400 replies in the first week ?
What makes this product different ? It looks just like another creatine product to me
Is it the product itself, or something else ?

The product is cheap has a good blend and lasts pretty long why shouldnt there be a lot of hype out of the product

Ok so the price/value is what attracts people ?
It just doesnt look like anything ground-breaking or revolutionary
Correct me if Im wrong

it's the price/value/drama that attracts people.
It's not meant to be something ground-breaking or revolutionary. Simply fulfilling a request by customers for something like GB in powder form..

My guess would that all the people bitching about Controlled Labs/all the people questioning Controlled Labs/all the people bashing Controlled Labs have just brought EVEN MORE attention to them. Whether this attention be negative or positive, and I'm sure it has been both, its still attention. So good job on bringing EVEN MORE attention to them. Why do there threads have all the posts and responses.....Well, your the reason. This thread will only accomplish more attention.....
I'm gonna go bump some old CL threads...Peace out!

I've honestly never been a fan of sour apple flavored anything.
I'm hoping to get a sample in the near future to see if I agree with the taste. If so, I may pick up a tub.

besides, cutting develops discipline and self-control, both of which is very helpful in other aspects of life as well as this one.

06-13-2006, 12:21 AM #17I've read reviews of people saying various creatine supplements don't work. However, it may be because of factors like not enough water, not taking the recommended dosage etc...Originally Posted by Joel

i think all creatine products work.. it's just people expect creatine to be some kind of magic **** and do all the eatting/training/dieting for them.

This is just like another average Creatine Ethyl Ester formula at decent price with no conclusive clinical/scientific studies to back up the claims or PRODUCT SAFETY.
So I would say this stuff no better than good ol' german creapure.
All the hype that is created is limited only to bodybuilding forums and i cant see it anywhere else. (Online as well as retail)
Serious Question:Why all the hype about Green Magnitude ?
Answer: The followers of CL products outnumber everything else on this board. But that's quantitiy for you and not quality.".....Enjoying my life to fullest extent possible; you should too"
Hundreds of whey protein products reviewed.....the process is on!

06-13-2006, 03:50 AM #22I guess this being the biggest bodybuilding forum, as a guerilla marketer you would want to inflitrate this one above the others.Originally Posted by 1-Testosterone
As far as the effectiveness/quality of Green Magnitude,the logs by all the unbiased , experienced members will prove if this is a good product
As always,Im sure the strictest methods were used to select the free product testers

If concern for unbiased testing is so high on your list then why did you not apply to be a tester yourself? That way you can form you own opinion based on the product and not your bias against CL as a company.Originally Posted by Joel

What is this "War" you have against supplement companies? Do you feel that their "Marketing Tactics" should be held to a higher standard than other CPG companies? If CL or ANY OTHER companies wishes to utilize "Guerilla Marketing" (BTW, did you just learn about this method of markerting?? Beer/clothing/video game companies have been doing it for ever)...then why should they not be allowed to??? As long as what they are doing is legal, truthful and within the "forum rules"...then let them go ahead...CR-Technologies Advisory Board Member

I remember when this forum was about bodybuilding and supplements...... now everytime I login I feel like I just walked in on my girlfriend watching desperate housewives with all this drama.
And to answer the original question about the hype around this new product.... It's probably
a. a new product from a popular company that has delivered well reviewed products
b. allot of marketing
c. all of the aboveLast edited by Tommy_213; 06-13-2006 at 05:06 AM.

Why ?
"...so you can make a smart decision."
I guess its no longer a concern of the Administration that "smart decisions" are made here. As long as the cash is flowing.
Why else would this "Rule" be completely abandoned and ignored ?Last edited by Joel; 06-13-2006 at 05:52 AM.
