This looks a lot like suffering.
GNC, Vitamin Shoppe, etc.

Do you guys know how uncomfortable it is for the average person to shop in these stores? The stuff is overpriced and they do whatever they can to get you on a spam mailing list. No wonder brick and mortar retail is dying.

There are like 12 different vitamins total and you can get more than you need of all of them in delicious gummy bear form from a generic store brand available at any supermarket.

I've never been in a vitamin store but they must be selling some serious bullshit considering how a human's dietary vitamin needs can be physically met via a single slot in a vending machine.

It really is amazing, there are like less than 10 supplements that even maybe do anything, absolutely everything else on the shelves might as well be homeopathic remedies

The trick to all shopping is to be haughty as hell. Before entering the mall spend 15 minutes in the parking lot imagining you're the king of Spain or something, then storm in and get that shopping done. They'll cower before your glory and shut the gently caress up.

I drank a 250ml can of some energy drink today that advertised having 143% of the daily recommended intake of B6 vitamin in 100ml so that means I must have absorbed 357.5% of my daily needs for that vitamin.

what I'm trying to say is that I hope it's the vitamin that makes you fart so I can have so fun

I used to get really nice coupons for whey at GNC, I'd also get preworkout there.
You know, stuff that isn't just snake oil bullshit, just some of the tein and some spazz-juice to make you go bananas for two hours.

Anyway, that place wore me down emotionally because of the metric gently caress ton of obvious BS products.

Brain boosters? T boosters? Weird oils? Packets of dust targeting hyper specific micronutrients likely no one has a deficiency of?

Pap, extreme pap, elderberry pap through those doors, in that GNC.

I bet so many people spend money on that junk, scads of terrified boys wringing their hands over a potential low T count holding back their ballsack out manliness. It's jacked up OP, very jacked up.

So I've just mentally conditioned myself to see "GNC" as an abbreviation for "Gays Not Cool" and that way this mental exercise of turning them into a fictional homophobic store makes it easy for me not to use the very advantageous and excellent coupons I receive.

When I was in high school, I had a neighbor on the street I lived on who had invested his entire life-savings in a GNC franchise. When the shop went under, he killed his wife and kids, stacked them in the basement, and then blew his brains out on the lawn.

I bought a painting of a farmhouse from their estate sale. I call it "My Portal to Hell."

My wife is convinced she needs calcium supplements because of family history.

Her neurologist has her on fish oil and prenatal vitamins.

Her eye doctor has her on flax seed oil.

Her mom has her on biotin because it seems in their family they start losing hair fast.

Fortunately I can buy all of these through Amazon, some of them through GNC directly. Also, we got some caffeine with theanine which helps her focus more than caffeine alone.

They may ingest enough calories but due to garbage nutrition a lot of Americans usually are suffering from some micro nutritional deficit.

A better diet is the answer to that though, not supplements, unless your body sucks and really needs additional irony in supplement form to prevent anemia or something.
