Back in 2001 & 2002 I loved using TwinLab Ripped Fuel

My penis seemed bigger from taking Ripped Fuel. Am I the only one?

I went in there about 2-3 years ago to browse around. I picked up a tub of a muscle tech product. On the tub was a picture of a bodybuilder (forgot which one). A really old guy approached me. I asked him if I could look like the guy on the tub if I took this product. He answered with a resounding, "YES." I chuckled and just kept browsing.

About 4 years ago, and that was to check out a clearance sale. As mentioned, Amazon, etc.... have cut into them badly, even Walmart, CVS, Rite Aid, etc.... have become strong competition to them. Everyday is Gold Card day now.

GNC has a contract with Rite Aid

Completely disintermediated by Amazon and places like DP Nutrition (and Caliber Nutrition). I don't even go in for a laugh anymore, it's depressing that they soaked up tens of thousands of my dollars over the years. They need to stock better muscle mags so I can go ~~fap~~ read in peace rather than Barnes and Noble where they frown on such behavior.

Irregardless post.

Haha, I used to work at GNC too. Most boring job of all time. I was totally able to get all of my studying done there in college though.

Looking back, I was definitely one of the bros that would have followed you around asking what you were looking for kinda dork ass.

Shit I spent so much money at GNC back in the day. I haven't walked in one in at least five years or more

Freshman year in high school I think, so it's been at least 15 years. Can't believe that shitty franchise is still operating especially with the Internet and vitamin shoppes everywhere. Must still be preying on the elderly and naive high schoolers. Oh brother

Haha it was the right thing to do. I don't know if it has changed, but if you had an exclusive gold card (oh brother) then the prices came down close to but not quite as low as the Internet for one or two days each month

GNC is actually good for expired but still fine protein bars. They often mark them down to .59. Other than that I guess they work for protein powder too if you run out.
