New flavor of CL Purple Waath
View attachment 203035
What's this supposed to taste like? Is this like Purple Guava Pear from Bang?

I wish they would do these in 45 servings instead of 90. Or they need to at least offer samples like Ghost. Controlled Labs is good at flavoring but I've wasted so much money on aminos I didn't like the taste of.

i never found their purple wraath to be good flavoring
now their creatine matrix is one of the best green apple or limeade

The rocket pop was decent. I actually finished a tub of that.

I heard the cotton candy was very good but never got to try that and they stopped making it.

I remember reading a long while back that they like having the nostalgic label look because it sets them apart.

I can see where people would think they needed a re-branding but can also see where they're coming from too.

I get it. I don't mean LYFESTYLE full potato branding. But I'm a Creative Director for a living lol, I can't help it.

Also, whatever happened to PU PureEnergy from the Bulk Nutrition forums...used to chat with him all the time.

The lower the dose, the optimal it is for sleep, believe it or not. Most take melatonin the wrong way. Too high, and too close to sleep. Best to take it low, and 2 to 3 hours before bed.
Interesting! My wife has been going through a lot of sleep difficulty since becoming a mother. Lately she’s been crushing 10mg melatonin right before bed with less than desirable results. I’m going to try and convince her to try it this way - lower dose much earlier.

Oh I understand. I was just saying what I remember someone from there saying a couple years back. And I remember him; I hadn't thought about him in years, I'm not sure what happened to him.

I actually like seeing a company sticking to a basic. Not everyone needs crazy modern labels and graphics. Some companies are known for it and some not.

We've been told a few times that we need to re-brand the Competitive Edge Labs labels but then we have as many people say they like them the way they are. And a couple times we've paid designers for updated ideas and when put to a vote, the old label style wins.

Per Mark Glazier off FB:
Look what’s back for SPD. Irish Whiskey Cream - Classic Whey. Launching this Friday and available for a limited time only. Last year we had no idea how popular this flavor would be and we sold out in 2 days... but don’t worry, we’re better prepared this year.

I give ghost a break because they were pretty much the pioneers of the lifestyle brand and they were smart and more clever than cheesy. Can’t say the same about the rest of them.

Olympus seemed to really fall of the discussion with the l1fstyle brand or whatever it was. Not saying they are bad products but they had a terrible take on the lifestyle movement and see to be discussed much less on here. Although I could be wrong and sales have tripled because this site is a small demographic compared to the market as a whole

I still don't understand the "lifestyle brand" concept? What does that even mean?

Was there ever a review on this? Did a search but maybe I missed it.
I bought one but have not yet had it. The cashew butter sugar donut or whatever it is called is amazing. Hopefully it stays that way.

Wouldn’t care about the taste as that reads as the most nutrionally dense protein blend out there. I really doubt they are going for the “it has to taste like candy audience here”. It’s about the nutrition. I doubt it’s going to be cheap with that organ blend “if” it’s substantial and not just dusted for advertising/selling sake.

I agree about the flavoring perspective, but beef collagen is not nutritionally dense. Not from a protein bioavailability standpoint anyway.

I believe he's referring to the organ complex added in addition to the collagen

I just tried the Axe and Sledge glazed donut protein and it is badass. It does not taste like a Krispy Kreme but it DOES taste like a glazed cake donut. You'd probably assume it would be heavy on the maple and heavy on the sweet, but it's actually the opposite. Heavy on the donut cake flavor.
