How this is relates to triathlon eludes me. I don’t consider this product to be remotely close to a valid recovery drink. Forget about the calories (barely 60 per serving). Have you read the ingredients before posting this (petroleum based artificial colourants red 40, blue 1 and yellow 6 )? Forget that it rots your teeth and tastes like a$$. I won’t even get into the specifics of this company’s morals and business ethics. This is not a question of personal preference. Nesquik should not even exist.

I agree with you and I am TOTALLY PISSED off about this. I demand my money back.
Agreed. And in next week’s “What we have noticed” column, I would like to see even more relevant product advertorials. “Reviewing” products such as Blublockers and SlapChop would reinforce the Slowtwitch brand and increase it’s credibility. Carry on.
Remember, Herbert just started doing swim intervals… so he’s not always on top of things. But I grew-up on Quick and I never had recovery issues… as a lad.

I think you are overreacting. If Herbert had mentioned Ovaltine, you definitely would have a reason to be upset, because Ovaltine tastes like dirt.
Note that Herbert does not reference the RTD Nesquik, (not that there’s anything wrong with RTD Nesquik) only Nesquik powder, that retails for $3.99 and makes 38 servings. If you drink a lot of chocolate milk like me, it only makes 12.6 servings, but you get my point: it’s way cheaper than RTD and has a really long shelf life (does not spoil) so you could use Nesquik powder that’s 10 years old and you would still be good to go.
Plus, if you are lucky enough to live near a WalMart Supercenter, Nestle does a special Nesquik container for WalMart that’s about the size of an oil drum and makes about 700,000 servings. (233,000 servings for someone like me)
It’s one of those things that looks obvious because you recognize the brand……but when you think about the utility of Nesquik powder you are reminded: ”Yeah, that stuff really does kick ass!!’
Also, Nesquik is the shit for making awesome chocolate pancakes. And, if you’re ever disappointed with ‘chocolati-ness your Count Chocula cereal, add about 2 tablespoons of Nesquik and you are in Chocolate Heaven. The same way you can use Strawberry Nesquik for your Frankenberry Cereal.
You might be thinking: “But Mojo, I’m Lactose Intolerant!!”
This is why God invented Soy Milk…….Nesquik powder mixes as well in Soymilk as well as it does in regular milk.
Actually, I prefer the Walmart branded chocolate milk mix in the purple can. It requires a lot less mix to get a good chocolate taste than Quik. Its cheap too
I would actually know which one came first. Plus in a case like this, maybe we should add on that we also noticed “another product that looks to be the same for blank dollars less.”
