But yeah bootleg supplements are real, there was one retail outlet that sold nothing but bootleg supplements they got busted when people realized that the taste of the protein powders was very strange, they tested a few and it was something like instant carnation milk powder. I'm not sure but I think ABB had a problem like this awhile back? Or was it muscletech??

actually you don't even have to replace the plastic seal covering...just say that it doesn't taste like the normal taste and that you want to exchange it. Exchanges are no big deal for a store.
