and skinny its a blend (isolate and concentrate). ON is as well. ON might have a few more BCAA's and might be an ever so slightly better grade of whey but honestly, If the stuff I take is 85% of ON for less than half the price, Ill keep using it.

and as for 2kg being $40, why has everyone in this thread said its between $60 and $70 then?

I swear to god, aside from the taste and mixability, there cant be much difference between one brand of whey to another. Its all name brand marketting and ON has done a fantastic job of it by sponsoring various bodybuilding forums and getting people talking about it. I read one thread comparing my whey to ON and half the replies were "Ive never heard of that stuff, but ON is the most popular so its probably the best".

just like a 500mg extra strength tylenol is so much better than a 500mg generic pharmacy acetaminophen. Just like Eleiko plates will make you stronger than York plates.

you make good points

i used to get my protein from london drugs of all places about 3 years ago
$20 for 2.5 lbs i think?

i only started buying from reflex cause i know the owner

to be honest, couldn't tell you if i saw a difference or not
