I'm glad and hopeful that both of you got any miscommunication worked out. I really like both of you, and from an outside perspective, I think it was just a genuine misunderstanding, which thankfully did seem to get figured out a bit as the thread went on.
I think, and can't speak for anyone, but I think that Josh's comment about smoking crack was meant to be a joke bc he's in the UK/EU and I've even had UK retailers say that to me as a way of saying I'm crazy for the hours I work, like they'd say 'you must be smoking crack, its 2am there and you're emailing me' - when it would be like me saying - man, you're crazy, that flavor is terrible.
And Josh, I've heard from retailers there and they linked me to some marketing there where some brands have tried to claim that clear whey was better than others from when it first came out so I can see why from your perspective you may be tired of seeing it marketed that way over there when the way its marketed like that isn't true - but to my knowledge, no one markets it that way here in the US, so that's why he didn't understand why you were thinking he was saying it was better. He was just talking about it in terms of taste preference and that he liked it bc it was easier to sip on and not as heavy on the stomach.
I remember when I had started the thread asking for protein flavor suggestions for SNS if we did a protein, that Danksta contributed a lot to that thread and we were discussing clear whey and how popular its gotten here and its grown a lot since then. That started on page 3 in this thread:
We've been considering doing one or more types of protein powder later in the year and I wanted to get some opinions please.
- What type(s) of protein powder would you like to see from SNS or CEL?
- What flavors would you like? (These can be existing or typical protein flavors or flavors you've always wanted but no one has ever offered)
My initial thoughts are to start with a Whey Protein Isolate and a Whey Protein Isolate/Micellar Casein blend, and then to later on possibly do a Vegan protein and I would personally like to eventually do a couple of fruit flavors of Whey...
Anyway, we just don't have a lot of really good and helpful members left, and both of you are, so I just wanted to explain how it seems so that neither of you would think negatively of the other and see where the other was coming from.
I had just checked this thread to follow along to see what people like, because we do plan to offer a protein in the near future and hopefully do a clear one not long behind the regular one.
I drink a lot of protein and I do use regular most of the time, but I do enjoy clear especially when its hot and when/if I can find flavors that I like and don't get tired of quickly.
