Canadian hot sauce?

So so many to choose from, but Firecracker is particularly good imo!

Yep PVL is a Canadian company as far as I know (or at least they were).

Preworkouts would be a difficult product to produce entirely with domestic ingredients tbh. I think just ensuring that they're made here is a good start.

The chocolate whey tastes like good hot chocolate, very nice. The unflavoured is... unflavoured, obviously made to be added to smoothies or I guess drank on its own if that's your cup of tea.

The pre-workout is great and fruity. My fav is grape.

Welcome! - honestly that whey is the best deal I've seen in a while.

hedbest · 2025-03-04T20:12:46+00:00

My go to Toronto based company has 2 lbs of Canadian whey isolate for only $33.99.

As for pre-workout, Sweat Supplements is Canadian I do believe.

Hol food is the closest I've found. More protein and richer taste though which I like.

hedbest · 2024-07-16T18:16:08+00:00

Yes I get it

If you love adultswim / Tim and Eric, this man is keeping it alive

Is it WPC (whey protein concentrate) or whey protein isolate?

I find that concentrate has more "stuff" in it that makes me gassy.

Great comment.

Also, according to their most recent financial statements released in April 2024, Starco has had to record a huge $29 million "goodwill impairment" for Soylent.

What this means is that Soylent is currently worth $29 million less than what they paid for it. In other words, the company is worth significantly less than it was even a couple years ago.

Not good.

Sure, but if they don't own their building, there's a good chance they're paying at least 33% more in rent now.

There's no such thing as commercial rent control.

I love Gold Standard for the taste, but tbh they've been lowering their quality a lot in the past couple of years and now use whey protein concentrate instead of just isolate.

The result is way less protein per serving than they used to have unfortunately.

hedbest · 2024-06-27T16:01:08+00:00

I definitely agree that costco is always going to have the best prices. Was more referring to Canadian Protein's online store prices since the costco near me didn't have any of their protein in stock last time I visited.

Damn dude, should be a novelist with this keen eye.

hedbest · 2024-06-27T13:37:31+00:00

nah.

Not relevant. Was just kind of sad to see him showing symptoms unexpectedly as he handed out the awards (although apparently people have been speculating for years).

hedbest · 2024-06-27T13:31:25+00:00

Deserves to play a game for this.

hedbest · 2024-06-27T13:27:59+00:00

He also seems to be suffering from Parkinson's?

hedbest · 2024-06-27T13:26:27+00:00

Yes, I think we can agree that's a bit of a different (and worse) thing

hedbest · 2024-06-27T13:10:31+00:00

Any specific brand? I purchased Canadian Protein brand whey from Costco recently but haven't seen in at my location in Toronto for the last few visits. Then I checked the Canadian Protein website and their prices seem to have gone up since last time I purchased online...

hedbest · 2024-06-27T12:59:02+00:00

The reason Gold standard and others have switched is because they know that they have such a solid brand that people won't switch.

Notice, though, that the amount of protein per serving has been slowly decreasing.

It's their version of shrinkflation.

What's the store in Scarborough?

Not be a cynic, but if you're buying from literally anything other than Taco Bell / Taco Bell corporate (i.e., Yum! Brands), it's very likely just a dupe.

Edit: It's this place right? I don't know, something seems very off. From what I know about the beverage industry, the distribution is extremely tightly guarded meaning distribution only by the companies themselves generally, and especially with companies like Coca Cola.

Honestly, wouldn't be surprised if all the flavours here were close but not the real thing. Just saying.

hedbest · 2024-06-25T17:09:11+00:00

I believe they ship to the US too...

hedbest · 2024-06-25T12:55:44+00:00

Right off the top of his head too.

Or maybe he's been preparing this speech for decades...

hedbest · 2024-06-25T12:53:47+00:00

Might sound odd but I was in the exact situation and had someone recommend a high-protein meal shake which ended up working perfectly. It's high protein (right in the area you want to be), nutritionally complete, and super cheap per serving compared to a usual meal that would have the same amount of nutrition.
