Not so much a rant. Almost amusing to most people who witness. ._.

My mom like to buy me interesting things randomly.
She sent me two big boxes of these dietary suppliment thingy, supposed to help skin and improve health or something like that. Well, I always have weird breakouts and I don't think I am in tip top physical shape, so I am trying to do all I can to stay healthier.

So. Dietary suppliment.
It is a white powdery thing you mix into drinks or desserts... anything they say, also with water if you wish.

The first day I tried it I had nothing else so I thought I'd go ahead and mix it with water. BIG MISTAKE. The thing itself doesn't really taste like anything. But the SMELL. THE SMELL IS GOD-AWFUL like no ever-loving god has ever intended it to be consumed by human beings. A co-worker says it smell like bad cabbage, my bro said it smell like crap. I think it smell .. artificial, like, plastic.... awful awful smell. :<

Since I have these two huge boxes here I thought I might as well try and see what I can do with it rather than let all these stuff go to waste. I went to Blenz (coffeeshop, like starbucks), and got their new pomegranate drink, which is a nice strong fruity drink. I am drinking with a straw, this thing is strong in taste, it has to get covered. ._. Horrid.

Next day I made a dessert that has ginger and milk in it, I accidentally put too much ginger juice in it so it tasted like... eating pure ginger. Well this has to do it? After I mixed in the powder it just smell like crap, it overpowered the ginger taste. ... How is that possible?! :<

Chai tea. Nope. Juice. Nope. Milk. Nope. Pizza does help so when I burp it back up I burp pizza instead of those horrible shit tho.

._.
My mom told me she got me 2 more huge cans of it.
I don't want to waste your money! But this is really disgusting!
I have been trying to squeeze my nose while chugging it down. The moment I release my nose... I almost threw everything back up. :<

Make it stoooppp!!!

Overpowered Ginger?

That is so not possible!

:<

I'm hypersensitive to an ever changing variety of things, and I bet that the smell of that stuff would make me woozy/sick.

Or hasn't used it herself yet to know how bad it smells. Did you tell her it smells really bad or asked her if she has used it yet?

I'm not too fond of those dietary supplements.

Pills other than simply vitamins just seem to have horror stories of adverse effects and bad reactions to taking them.

Usually the sports story stuff of heart attacks/recalls/lawsuits, crazy dieting people, etc.

Problem is that there are still a ton of them lying around even if she doesn't buy more. :<

Sell them to your friends. Share the wealth I say.

Tell your mother to try the product, and see what she thinks of it?
As for the remainders, you can always pass them on to other people http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_confused.gif

Yay.
Grapefruit juice, that thing does wonders. When mixed with grapefruit juice, it isn't nasty ... at all? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

Heh.
It is so funny. Even tho now that I have finally found a juice to drink it with that I don't feel sick. I think I have developed a biological reaction to this. Like, I keep imagining I am smelling that thing. Or, I keep smelling it in places randomly!

Wait, your mom gave you dietary supplements? Your mom thinks you're fat?

Smile.

Tell your mom thank you.

Then promptly chuck them in the trash first chance you get.

Problem Solved


What exactly is in these things anyhow? I mean... they're supposed to be healthy for you, but it doesn't sound like good advice taking pills when you don't even know what they are. Unidentified white powdery substances remind me of Anthrax...

No. Dietary suppliment not as in "diet to get thin" but more like "add into your diet". And yes I think my mom thinks I am fat. Not fat fat but could definitely afford to lose some weight.

Anyway. I can't trash them out, I don't like wasting stuff. I know they prolly cost a fortune anyway, hence this really isn't a rant more like just, omg how on earth did they make this smell so bad.

Also, I can't trash them away cuz the result of this suppliment just sound attractive! Beautiful skin! I am suffering from some horrid dry skin from, most likely stress, and old age (lol!) and some other stuff. Just, well, it's a girl thing. XD How much would you do for beautiful skin? A whole lot, apparently. And I am receiving some benefits from it in the hm, bowel sense, which I will not discuss here. That's why I am trying my best to chug it down.
