I've been an ON user for awhile, but this change in the formula has pretty much left me with 5 pounds of poopy powder
Most helpful customer reviews on Amazon.com

I have been using Optimum Nutrition protein for 10 years now. In my eyes it has always been the industry standard. Good ingredients, great taste, no BS.
I received my last 5lb tub of Vanilla creme yesterday and made a shake. It was absolutely disgusting. The shake was so sweet I gagged but reluctantly finished it. This was at night. The morning after I had diarrhea. Browsing through the comments it seems other people are having the same experience too.
Surely this is due to the recent change to the formula where they added sucralose, an artifical sweetener.
I'm now stuck with 5lb of inedible powder and left with the task of finding a new company to purchase my protein powder from.
Well done, ON.
Oh, and thanks for the diarrhea.

This powder set off the bomb detector device at the TSA checkpoint. So much so, that they even took a little out to sample and had the same results. I was then frisked and wanded by TSA as well, almost making me late for my flight. It was more than a little frustrating, as they also took the entire Ziploc bag full of protein. Unfortunately, they were unable to tell why or what ingredient caused this. I am extremely concerned now, as I am unsure that I want to put a product in my body that WILL set off a bomb detector. That just doesn't sound safe, or healthy.
For the record, I emailed the company a few weeks ago and they have not responded.


Replacement came, cracked lid again, not quite as bad as the first (image 2) (shipping box is in perfect shape), didn't even break the seal and ordered another replacement.
Second replacement came, no cracked lid but tastes just as disgusting as the first one. I don't know what happened with these recent orders but these are undrinkable, they taste watered down and leave a horrible cardboard/chemical taste in my mouth.
I ordered a 10lb bag in the hopes that it will come from a different batch because, as mentioned, this is my go to flavor and I know it normally tastes great.
Normally a 5 star but for this order I'm adding a 1 star review to their repertoire.
UPDATE: I received my 10LB bag and it tastes great so there is definitely a bad batch of powder out there, maybe it's a bad batch of tubs, not sure but glad I finally have more powder.

I've never used ON before, I do not know if it "used to" taste better. As of 06/12/18 the DBC flavor tastes roughly like burnt brownie flavored cardboard. Thing is, I understand without a SUPER sweetener, it can be difficult to achieve flavor, but be forewarned, it is AWFUL tasting. Consistency remains almost the same as whatever liquid you have mixed it into (adds no extra thickness). I tried both water and milk.
On the positive front, it is jam packed with goodies with every scoop. It mixes extremely well (I use milk mainly) and when mixed with other powders, it continued to mix well (I add extra probiotics and stuff for my joints).
I let it sit for a few hours on the counter, everything settled and needed a slight jostle, but (aside from being warm) mixed right back up and tasted exactly the same with the same consistency, which is great as I have had powders that turn to sludge if you let it sit for too long.
For the price @5lbs and 30g scoops, you can't beat it. There are better tasting powders and better powders overall, but you can expect to pay $50-$60 for 2lb for those, I find this powder to be an excellent middle ground if you can stomach it, especially with the prevalence of sucralose finding its way everywhere.
For those not in the know, please Google sucralose, it won't bother everyone, but if you're like me, it did affect my digestive system negatively and since removing it from my diet I have been doing much better.
