So, you've read reviews about stringy things, wormy things, or clumpy things?
I just read a couple reviews about stringy, wormy, and clumpy things and just wanted to share....yes, those things do occur. What those people (and I) have found are the results of protein shakes sitting in a warehouse. Is it unappealing? Yes. What is that stuff? It's the protein powder/concentrate settling out of the water that they mix it with. The stringy or wormy parts are from when it collects around the base of the bottle just in that ring. The clumpy stuff is when you get ones with a flat bottom or there's a lot settled out that sits there. Buy their powder and mix your own in a shaker bottle and I guarantee you'll have far more clumps of unmixed powder on your home shaken one than in these. It won't hurt you. It's not some strange creature. It's just that it either wasn't mixed well, or some of it has settled out. I've had times where I shook the bottle really well and gotten some and other times that I forgot to shake the bottle and got some at the bottom as I finished the bottle. If you're overly concerned, find something different, or just use these for adding to a blended drink like a coffee frappe or a smoothie.
