I met and interviewed Brendan a couple weeks ago. He's a great guy.

Cool. Is this a published interview?

 

[meatless]

The first story of two has been published. PM me your e-mail and I'll send it to you.

TJ,

Have you tried these yet?

I tried a sample and, though I am loathe to say this because it is vegan and I don't want to turn anyone off, it tasted really really bad. I still have not recovered from it. When I see it in Whole Foods, I wretch and dry heave uncontrollably. But that's just my experience.....

Maybe I'm just bad at mixing things?

I think they're right bloody horrible mate. Like dirt. In bar form. And they're expensive.

But vegans don't eat for pleasure; I thought everyone knew that.

The Vega bars are one of the very few vegan bars I can eat before a workout with any amount of protein in them. So I choke 'em down as best I can.

I reckon if I can get as many people to get the samples and give them to me that, while I won't enjoy them, at least I can't argue with the price.

I can work with the Vega powder well enough though.

Cheers!

TJ

I haven't eaten the bars (I hate dates) but I've mixed the powder in with my smoothies. The berry one goes alright.

damn, the offer is over. I have been tempted to buy those products!

I actually bought 2 bottles of this, 1 chocolate 1 natural for over $140 back in May. They were horrid. I tried one drink of each and threw them both away. Actually, they sat in my fridge for like two months after the first try, THEN I threw them away.

Vega had a booth at the Toronto Vegetarian Festival back in September with a LOT of product on a table.

I sort of walked by and thought, yeah. Good luck with that.

I wonder if there market isn't just people like me who want a vegan supplement before a workout and have no real other choice because 99.9% of anything has whey in it.

Anyway, three weeks in and no sign of my freebie.

Whoa. For real? That is some expensive stuff. I've never heard of it before.

It is. I think individually they're $80 each. And a large bottle is supposed to last about 2 weeks. Yeeeah. I was just looking for convenience as a meal replacer... Didn't suffice.

Yeah, thankfully I only bought a sample packet.

It tasted like sawdust, sh**, and hot sick pureed together.

Which isn't as tasty as it sounds.

I haven't received my free thing yet.

 

[mayuko]

me either. if it works out anything like any other free sample i've requested in the past, it'll come in right around when i've forgotten i ever ordered it

I got a free Berry sample a while ago. I gave it as a free gift with something I sold on ebay.

I thought the same thing. The bars were alright but one sip of of the drink made me feel like throwing up (and I never feel that way). And if that wasn't bad enough, I was burping up the drink for hours afterward.
