My first protein shake

My first protein shake

updated by rck, 2004-11-03

I've just bought my first can of protein powerder. You know, that stuff that bodybuilders drink all the time to get lots of muscles. What I've seen after opening it quite amazed me: The can is, basically, only filled two thirds. In other words: I've got 2.5 inches of air with it. For free!

Percents
what it's like	Another odd thing. There's "Proteinconcentrate, 88 percent" written on the front of the can. In bold letters, white on black. Funnily enough, my teachers at school didn't teach me math the way it's used here. 85 gramms of proteins in 100 gramms of substance give 88 percent of proteins? I would have though, it were only 85 percent. Then, the "pure" version of that stuff reads "Proteinconcentrate, 96 percent" and has 85 grams of proteins in 100 gramms of substance as well. There's something really messed up, I say.
