PRODUCT REVIEW : Venom Rocky Road Flavour WPC
OPENING THE BAG : Strong Chemical Smell
CONSUMING IT : Mixed the powder as directed with water, it mixed easily and fast in a standard shaker with minimal effort. Then drank it
, there is only one word I can describe this with…..'Vile', very sweet with a strong chemical after taste that lingers for ages. Now I know taste is subjective so in fairness I decided to get a second opinion, as a result I had the wife try it, she had a smell and said it smelled 'gross' she then reluctantly tried a mouthful and spat it out responding with ,'that is disgusting.' then proceeded to wash her mouth out to get rid of the taste.
I did not even bother finishing the 250ml shake and tipped the rest down the sink.
PRODUCT REVIEW : Venom Vanilla Flavour WPC
OPENING THE BAG : Nice vanilla smell, quite pleasant.
CONSUMING IT : Mixed the powder as directed with water, it mixed easily and fast in a standard shaker with minimal effort. Then drank it, well the vanilla taste was quite nice, tasted like vanilla, was sweet but not over powdering, still has the bad chemical after taste. Texture was good.
Gave some to the wife for a second opinion her response was, 'not bad, but still has that horrible after taste'
I did drink the whole shake, would not be buying it based on the flavour, and still waiting for lab tests to come back, for protein contend
PRODUCT REVIEW : Venom Cookies and Cream Flavour WPC
OPENING THE BAG :Smells nothing like Cookies and Cream, just has a pleasant sweet smell, like sweet milk.
CONSUMING IT : Mixed the powder as directed with water, it mixed easily and fast in a standard shaker with minimal effort. Then drank it, Tastes like sweet milk, does not even have a hint of Cookies and Cream flavour, still has the bad chemical after taste. Texture was good.
Gave some to the wife for a second opinion her response was, 'ok, but not cookies and cream, after taste not as bad as the others, she actually swallowed this one rather than spitting it out.
I did end up tipping it down the sink as I can not stand the chemical taste, would definitely not buy this as a matter of fact if it was given away for free I would not bother taking any of it.
PRODUCT REVIEW : Venom Wild Berry Flavour WPC
OPENING THE BAG : Smelled exactly like bubble gum.
CONSUMING IT : Mixed the powder as directed with water, it mixed easily and fast in a standard shaker with minimal effort. Then drank it, tasted pretty much like it smelled, I think this flavour should be called bubble gum, no berry taste detected no matter how much I tried to use my imagination. Still has the same strong chemical after taste, but I have concluded that this must be the sweetener they use. Offered some to wife for the second opinion and after smelling it she shook her head and said 'No I will throw up"
I again did not even bother finishing the 250ml shake and tipped the rest down the sink.
PRODUCT REVIEW : Venom Natural Flavour WPC
OPENING THE BAG : Smelled exactly like WPC should, compared the texture, colour and taste of the dry powder to BN natural WPC, and they were identical.
CONSUMING IT : Mixed the powder as directed with water, it mixed easily and fast in a standard shaker with minimal effort. Then drank it, tasted like natural WPC does, so no surprises there and all good. No second opinion required, it's just WPC with no flavour.
PRODUCT REVIEW : Venom Butterscotch Flavour WPC
OPENING THE BAG : Smelled somewhat like butterscotch but much sweeter smell
CONSUMING IT : Mixed the powder as directed with water, it mixed easily and fast in a standard shaker with minimal effort. Then drank it, tasted pretty much like it smelled, very chemically sweet with a hint of butterscotch flavour. Wife will no longer play ball and refuses to taste any of them
I again did not even bother finishing the 250ml shake and tipped the rest down the sink.
THE END
This will be the last review, as seriously they all taste the same, with the exact same chemical taste base, so I just chucked the rest of the samples in the bin as I can no longer be bothered, as obviously the manufacturer has not bothered either to make these even remotely appealing.
), and I will be doing a taste review on every one as I try them.
