Poster child for "How can it be under $9/lb and still a terrible value."

Math:
3.87¢/g Protein - Syntha6 Milk Blend (Concentrate > Caesin)
  • Price: $23.93 for 2.9 lbs.
  • Unknown % of Protein is Leucine
  • 46.8% of mass is Protein
  • 44% of calories are Protein

Yes, it's under $10/lb, but it's only 40-50% protein, while most powders are 70% or higher, so the cost per gram of protein is actually pretty high. ON Gold Standard at Costco costs less per gram of protein.

The main selling point of this product seems to be that it is a blend of all kinds of different proteins (concentrate, caesin, isolate...). But, the first ingredient is concentrate (the cheap stuff), and I don't think that mix provides any real-world benefit.

I'm not seeing any compelling reason to buy this, for anyone really.

Don't do that. I can be wrong, and people buy stuff for different reasons.

Me, I'm a cheapskate and buy primarily on price/g protein.

Other folks have brand or flavor loyalty, want to avoid sucralose, want grass fed, organic, vegan, or whatever. It's all good.

I usually state a reason someone might want to buy the product. In this particular case, I couldn't come up with one...

9.09 calories per gram of protein! (200 ÷ 22)
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Filling the filled filler with filling filler filler? Is that the idea? I suppose the huge amounts of fat and sugar might help someone bulk.

Yup. You can bring down the price per pound by adding breadcrumbs. (No, they didn't do exactly that, but close...).

It's also not a good mass gainer. There are better products for that too.

Sorry I don't know. Is sucralose or acesulfame, acepartame bad? I regularly see these to be included in the protein powders nowadays, especially in the flavored ones

I don't think they are bad, but some people do.

I consume a lot of sucralose.

I have only tried vanilla and it was fantastic. No idea about the wacky flavors in this deal, but Syntha is more about taste and less about protein per $
