Calling your product angel dust shows poor judgement.

It shows there is no creativity in their marketing, they took the easy route "hey let's name it after a street drug"

Still it contributes to this culture of glorification of promiscuous sex, drugs, and violence.

There is nothing quite like original marketing

peptopro + maltodextrin would be much cheaper and as effective than the meadow formula

peptopro tastes horrible tho

This is not accurate.

GI clearance time is nothing close to HBCD.

I still have never understood this argument. Are you babies really offended by that? Wow, we live in such a pussified society it's unbelievable.

There is a difference between being offended and stating that someone used poor judgment related to a business venture.

I dont think any person on getbig is offended by the term "angel dust." However, from a business POV, calling a product angel dust may not be the best decision. Do you really think any company, especially the multi billion dollar companies, would call any of their products a drug related name?

Not to mention if you want teenagers to buy your products, naming a supplement after a drug may make some parents whose teenagers are buying the supplement, pissed off. And may prevent their teenager from buying the product.

Exactly.  I raised this point about this product previously.  It certainly implies a negative connotation by calling it that.  Using an adjective would have been better.

[pj braun]

Angel Dust is our best selling product. Many thousands a week. Every store we have that carries it says it gets more attention, and then purchases, than any similar other product. If the name and the label get us a shot to prove the product is good, I don't see how anyone could say that was a mistake.

Agreed. But according to PJ, its their best selling product. I wonder what is the demographic of people buying the supplement.

Do you have any clue how much money they are making from it? Clearly it was an excellent business decision to name it what they did. Hell they could even name it "WHITE POWER: the one and only PreWorkout for white people" and it would sell just as well. You guys obviously don't understand the supp biz.

This is pointless though to argue with any of the cry babies who are offended this easily over a silly name. What an odd way for a man to go through life being scared and offended this easily

Did you miss the point where I said I was not offended. Nowhere did i indicate that I was offended or crying about it. I was clearly speaking from a business venture. That it MAY be an issue. Obviously, you have comprehension issues. 

And PJ stated that he is making a lot of money off of his product, so clearly it is not impacting his business venture. Clearly, I was wrong.

So what are you continuing to bitch and moan about?

Edward Bernays would call you full of shit and would sit down with PJ and Aaron and explain to them how they could dramatically increase their sales with a simple name change and alternate marketing.

It's quite the poor business decision, of course a simpleton like you would look at the shock value of the name and that it gets some sales but you do not consider the big picture.

[The True Adonis]

PJ and Aaron may want to give this a watch, especially part 2-The Engineering of Consent and part 1-Happiness Machines:

Everyone should watch all of the parts for that matter.

Malto? think you mean dextrose, no?

Are you upset with me

[IronMeister]

I used to take this one but the doctor asked me to stop 

[Van_Bilderass]

You are correct, the EAA's were put there for cost cutting and on top of that they are missing some of the EAA's like histidine which happens to be the most expensive one. They are cutting corners in order to make more profit.

LOL really? I guess some essential aminos aren't that essential. These guys sound real jokers to me. Though I bet they have a lot of guys swearing this product leads to soreness free mountain dog training lol.

[Deadlifted]

Pre workouts are such an unbelievable waste of money. I hate that I got sucked into believing in them when I first started lifting in college

Thousands weekly?  Impressive.  What are your margins?
