Taste		but i have no complaints, it still tastes great.
Taste		but can't seem to think of any at the moment, the taste is great, it's a very well rounded product, doesn't promise what it can't deliver, and is very affordable for anyone.

Value for money		Since I started working out, all my experienced friends told me to buy this product, saying that it was the best whey protein to buy for the size/price.

Gas or bloating	one thing I don't like about some brands of whey is that they make me feel bloated and gassy,
