You should be doing as much reading as possible.  Less looking at supplements in the shop promising you the world and more learning.

Those weight gainers will get you plenty of weight...it will mostly be fat though :)

If you want to quickly gain weight you can:
1.Use juice.
2.If you are going the natural way....you cant gain real muscle fast this way...sorry.

you shouldn't be taking weight gainer unless your using steroids thats the only time you need all those extra calories try a good protien shake with plenty of flax seed oil peanut butter sandwiches and drink more than a gallon of water a day one more thing mix your shakes with chocolate milk i put on 10 lbs real quick doing this went from 215 to 225 lbs.
also rest more in between sets and don't do more that 8 reps a set cut down your cardio to twice a week

Weight gainers are a waste of money.  Stick with protein powder, glutamine, creatine and lots of food and rest.  Remember to get 1 gram of protein per pound you weight.  Their are charts on the net that will show you how much each type of food gives you.  For instance a can of Tuna gives you about 23 grams a boiled egg about 12 grams. 
So you definatley need to add in protein shakes throughout the day

I understand peanut butter sandwiches just fine - ask anyone around here - I UNDERSTAND PEANUT BUTTER  :P   I guess it's a question of whether someone is looking to put on quality or just add numbers to the scale and secondly, this statement "you shouldn't be taking weight gainer unless your using steroids..." is just flat out stupid.

The product you have is not considered a PROTEIN supplement.  I'd suggest using something basic and economical such as 100% Whey by ON.  Don't trash your existing product, you could use smaller portions of it in your post workout protein shake.

Hey Football.  Get a plain inexpensive whey protein. Natures best is the one I use and its pretty cheap.  I take  two 2.5  22 gram scoops 3- four times a day between meals and other protein from my food.  I mix mine with water since milk gives me cramps sometimes.  I also suggest eating yougurt that helps if you have stomach problems from some of the proteins.

               Doesn't an egg typically have about 6 grams of protein?  Or did you say 12 because Football says he eats 2 before and after lifting?

THat depends on how intense your training is & what you can handle (food wise). I know people who can eat a steak dinner & train right after. I usually have to wait about an hour or more after eating before training.

Move to Vegas.  Become a semi-high roller and get free buffets and food anytime you come to the casino.  I swear you'll gain as much as you want.  Oh and get bit by a brown recluse and have your thyroid go a little haywire and not workout for about 5 years or so.  I promsie you will gain weight

oh i forgot that you used to play football in school? what's that? you didn't ? oh hohohohahahaha that's why you shouldn't give advice on something you don't know nothing about any coach will tell you wrestling or football i know because i did them both to put some weight on you need to eat your sandwiches and weight gainer is best used when your on the juice because it's an easy extra 2,500 to 3,000 calories when your body will need upward to 10,000
