    Whats the story with tony quinn supplements?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,639 ✭✭✭PeakOutput


    i know nothing about his supplements but we had a guy who specialises in helping people get out of cults and groups like that etc and he had nothing good to say about any of tony quinns "motivational workshops" and his trips abroad. he dosnt sound like a very nice / ethical / moral person and as such i would not consume anything with his name on it.

    But Tony invented Casein protein, the greatest weight loss aid in history according to the nice person in his shop.

    He combined the tears of an angel with the hair from the devils nut sack.

    I imagine.

    pfft, we sell the hair of the devils nut sack for half price thats nutin :o

    He was one of the first if not the first to introduce whey protein into this country.

    Nah, Beelzebub = the devil, he's one hell of a guy!:D

    Seriously though, I was in Tony Quinn's a couple of weeks ago and the girl there told me that whey was not a good protein, yeah she was pushing casein, but she was beautiful doing it!
    I wasn't buying it, any of it though!

    What's this casein schtuff?

    And back to the Mcdonalds... wow... I'm tempted to see how long those bad boys can survive, and how they taste after the 8 weeks :D

    It's in my son's formula and he attempted to "deadlift" the dishwasher door the last day so it must be powerful stuff. :p

    Holy ****, that stuff just ain't good for you...

    And I used to rarely get the fillet o fish if i ever ended up in McDonalds through hungover-ness or sheer desperation...and he says it's the worst burger in McDonalds! God Damn it!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,243 ✭✭✭✭Jesus Wept


    Clearly this is progress. McDonalds should share their secrets so we can make other items out of the same compounds, airplanes for example.

    The McBlackbox anyone?

    HEY! stop bad mouthing faeces...


    The mcdonalds chips are really thin and when fried and left like that I would imagine there is not a lot of water in them, they are so thin that I would imagine any bugs are killed off. Salt is then added which would further protect from bacterial growth. If you dumped a pack of tayto in a similar jar you would probably get the same results. Fat chips are still full of water so bacteria will thrive more in them.
    It doesnt surprise me at all, the whole film was a bit of a letdown for me because of attempts at shock tactics like this. I cannot think of any restaurant I could go to where I would not get more than my basal calorific needs if I had 3 meals in it.

    Worth a read - it basically describes how Fast-food companies manipulate the flavour of foods (including fries) so they taste nicer. This involves using lots of complicated-sounding chemicals, which, clearly, even mould and bacteria don't enjoy.
