Hi guys, the last time I bought a 5lbs tub of ON Whey was probably 6-7years ago, but I faintly remember if it's your 1st time opening the tub, there will be a white paper-material seal on top of the cover that you have to peel open.

But that's not the case for what I received. The moment I turn the cap open, there is no seal separating the tub with the cap.

AFTER OPENING THE CAP (PIC)

Any regular user / buyer here that knows if there's any paper-like seal that exists in this product all these while? Is this legit or did they replace it with milo powder? sweat.gif

FYI, I bought it from this highly rated shop on Shopee: PRODUCT LINK

Thanks SIFUS notworthy.gif

I found an unboxing video from another country and his tub has no seal on top too (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sOIebWa3YE&t=429s&ab_channel=KnowledgeCenter)

Guess I might have a false recall. But just to be sure!

I notice there are subtle variance. If I buy Shopee I notice no white seal but the cover itself is sealed with black strip around

However if I buy from lac, I notice the black strip is around and there is a white cover you have to tear

I’m not sure what’s the difference but I prefer buy lac due to this confidence level. I prefer the white card cover as I will korek lubang around it so the rim of the tub still covered by the white ring and makes it more air tight when I cap the lid back

nowaday buying whey is so scary.. so many fake out there , you never know what you actually get.. all look the same smell the same taste the same but what you get might not be the same.

but here's the official website for you to double check the product. also feel free to contact with them to verify https://www.optimumnutrition.com/en-us/auth...out%20holograms.

Is this the LAC you're talking about?

The difference between "VIP price" and non-VIP price is insane. How much does the VIP membership cost? Not well stated in the site

Indeed vip price and non vip is huge. But I don’t recall paying anything for my vip which been years. The net price for vip is 280 and you get some credit about 12 ringgit per tub. U can use that to redeem next purchase. So average cost is about 268. The only good part they always got promo. So I end up getting c4 pre workout, accelerade, other vitamins if needed and I get bigger redeemable discount as well discount purchase with purchase. To be honest all these discount makes it price almost normal price except when birthday month discount applied


Lac was previously Gnc btw
