So it turns out the guy at GNC thinks he can con me.
ME: Where's the Optimum Nutrition?
HIM: Over there.
ME: *studies them for a while*
HIM: Did you have any questions about them or...?
ME: Where's the flavor?
HIM: It's written vertically on the side. First time buying whey?
ME: Yeah. (ED: I should have said no.)
HIM: Well, why don't you try this whey instead? (he leads me to the store brand) It's got a lot more herbal supplements that the ON doesn't have, like decaffeinated green tea. It also has stuff which will hydrolize faster so you can take it right before a workout and feel it work.
ME: I don't want whey with caffeine. How much does it have?
HIM: It's only like 60mg of caffeine. That's less than a cup of coffee. Less than half even.
ME: I don't want caffeine in my whey. Really 10-15 mg is the highest I'll go.
HIM: You're not going to find whey that has that little caffeine in it.
ME: The ON whey has no caffeine in it.
HIM: I find that hard to believe. All whey has caffeine in it. (BULLS'HIT ALERT)
ME: Sorry, I'm going to go with the ON.
HIM: Have you considered taking a multivitamin with your whey?
ME: No.
HIM: You really should get one. Taking whey without a multivitamin just wastes your time and money. Imagine a road with potholes which is where you are now. A multivitamin fills in the potholes so the whey will give you smooth acceleration.
ME: I think I'll pass. (buys ON whey)
HIM: So you'll get the multivitamin next time?
ME: Sure. (WHATEVER BRO)
