[quote=Lost Dog;426945]Man, I thought I had such a good idea. Vector, huh?

I don't think it's as much of a racket as other people. I think the value is overblown, but a good amount of the guys that drink surge would probably do nothing without it. Just go home and eventually (hours later) eat. So, there's definitely value in it. Just not that much compared to plain ol' food. But, that's the business they are in.
If you're buying surge, you know enough to know to eat something right after working out. I think its a racket as they take protein powder, add some sugar, and virtually double the price.

Gatorade is more of a racket. They market it to everyone, not just athletes. Most athletes don't need Gatorade, much less a weekend warrior. And, no teenager walking through the school hallways or the mall needs it, that's for sure!
yes it is, I just enjoy hating on biotest

Pomegranite juice, noni juice, acai juice, etc. rackets! Whole grain Cinnamon Toast Crunch? racket! Low sugar Cinnamon Toast Crunch? racket? Why not make Whole Grain Low Sugar Cinnamon Toast Crunch, instead of two lame products? cuz it's a racket!
this actually sounds like my dad, except replace those products with: cable TV, air conditioning, gas, bottled water, and all brand name food products.

do they really make low sugar cinammon toast crunch?
