| [PRODUCT]857[/PRODUCT] There are lots of reviews about how bad the bottles that come with our shipments are bad. Are there any good bottles that are stain resistant, long lasting, and are durable out there? Maybe even a pocket mixer to mix things in a disposable cup? If you know of any, please let me know. Thanks for your help |

| i picked mine up at GNC. very durable and stain resistant, and its got a screen shaped like a wagon wheel that fits in between the cup part and the lid that completely busts up any and all chunks. i haven't had a lumpy protein shake since i got it. even has a fliptop spout so you can take it with you on the go if you need to. think it was like 5-6$ |

| First off..... I would like to say thanks for the shaker bottle... I was very impressed when it was thrown in free with my protein. The bottle is nice and sturdy with a well-sealing lid. The only complaint i have is that the little rubber seal was messed up in the first place and after a few times of use i was washing it and the seal disappeared so i can no longer use it. But when it worked it worked great and just like the other guy said about the GNC bottle.... There were no chunks at all. |

| I always take my rings out and wash them in the little enclosed thing in my dishwasher. With a little practice you can get them back in. I did have one from gnc and loved it but $6 a bottle is a too pricey when I can get ones just as good for $2.5 on the net. |

you know it, i would much rather spend my money on other stuff than a shaker cup.  |

| No offense, but I am almost in disbelief that this is an issue worthy of a thread. Some bottles suck, surely... There might be a little crack somewhere or the lid doesn't stay tight. Just use a water bottle or a gatorade bottle which has a wide enough top to allow a scoop of protein to fit... Water gallon jugs do not work well in this regard. I use gatorade bottles if I'm out on teh town, but if I'm at home, I just use a blender and pour in a cup. |

| i have been using an eas shaker for ages now. a shaker to me is a shaker, they are all the same. usually i put my massgainers in before a workout just add water for my post workout meal, and shake and drink. simple however for my v12 i fashion a funnel and place 1 scoop in an empty water bottle mix with water and drink. just buy any decent one which looks sturdy, mine has lasted over 1 year. |

| I use one that I bought from GNC as well...I have been through a few others and found that these are the best.. |

| This is a dumb question but, how do you use a shaker bottle. I have always just used a blender to mix everything. But recently I received a free shaker from the net. The bottle has a screen at the top which I assumed would remove then you would pour the powder and water in and then shake. But then one I have, the screen at the top does not remove. Is it supposed to be like that? |
| Posted by: surferboy Nov 30 2004, 01:44 AM |
| i have the same problem, the stupid cups dont come with directions!!!! i put the powder and water into the cup and then screwed on the lid and then stared at it not knowing what to do next. stupid shaker bottles dont tell you how to use them. shaker cups should come with something that tells you how to mix the powder and water in the shaker cup. i just got frustrated and started shaking it all over the place. that actually seemed to work for me. i dont know how the shaker cups are actually suppose to work but try the shaking thing. maybe it will work for you too.  |

So if I'm hearing you correctly, what you do is shake the shaker bottle?  |

| haaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaa...shake...haaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaa. you shake...haaaaaaaaaahaaaaha haaaaaaaahaaaaaaaa. I didn't think you could do that. but seriously does the screen have to come out, can't you pour thru it |
| Posted by: Slayer of Souls Nov 30 2004, 02:27 PM |
| i never used the screen i just took it out and tossed it. it really didnt make any difference to me. just more of a hassel to clean. we have come so far in technology, and supplements for that matter, but still we have been using the same shaking device for years. its times for a revolutionary shaker. |
| Posted by: tragiccreation Nov 30 2004, 03:07 PM |
| I wish the screen would remove, because when I pour the powder in most of it just sits on top of the screen. If I were to move it around a bit then it would go down but that makes a mess. Maybe I shouldn't put the whole scoop on top at once.?? |

| Turbo Shakers are pretty good the ones with the little fins. |

ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess you could take your bottle down to Lowes or HomeDepot and have them shake it up on the paintshaking machine for you.For the cups that the screen is attached, you can cut enough of the screen out to allow the powder to fit through. The screen that is left will still work fine to mix it up. |

| i found an awsome blender!! just to let you guys know, basicaly its a portable mixer. I didnt even know that they made stuff like that. Alway what it is, is a durable plastic cup that holds about 20oz, and the lid has a powerful stirrer. When pressed it looks like a turnado, it works great and mixes well. |
