Default Free Sample of Hank's Finest Protein Shake

Hello to my TT peeps. I just found this link for a free sample of protein powder. The form asks for your home phone # and cell phone #, but it's not required.

I'm LOL, because the description says the Chocolate tastes like Nestles Nesquick, and the Vanilla tastes like Hagen Daaz vanilla ice cream. ROFLMAO! I might have been born on a Sunday, but it wasn't last Sunday. Regardless, I'll take the free sample, even if it probably doesn't taste like Hagen Daaz.

Best Tasting Whey Protein Powder Milkshake in the World!

edit: You get 2 samples...so you'll get to experience both the Nestles Nesquick AND Hagen Daaz vanilla tasting shakes. I can't wait to try this stuff!

I hope so too Mike. I actually read the website and the technology behind this stuff, and it's quite fascinating. The guy who developed this stuff worked for NASA. All of that being said, if this stuff is so wonderful...why haven't we heard of if before?

I'm anxious to get my samples, but I'm going to save them for AFTER surgery, in case my tastes changes. This stuff isn't priced too bad either. It works out to $1.33 per serving, with free S&H. Plus, it's mixable with good ol' water.

Thanks Sherry!! I just ordered my free samples.

I don't know if I want to hold onto them til after surgery or not. I know my taste may change, but what if after surgery I really like them and have to wait a week or two to order the full product and it get delivered. Hmmmm will have to think about this one.

Do you start drinking the protein drinks immediately after surgery?

Talking

the place my fail with all of us getting our freebies!

Thanks for posting!

(and I feel the strategies about taste testing things prior to surgery is a challenge to - in short, I gather: don't "stock up" on any one thing - but have enough of something you sort of like... since you won't be able to get out and about for a bit... And I am making a list of what I tried, liked, did not like.. where it came from... so my post op shopper can get me more of anything that's going well!)

Did anyone get their free sample yet?

I've gotten 2 or 3 emails from the company, saying I should have received my sample by now, and giving me directions on how to order it. But, I haven't even received the samples yet!
