The Cinnamon crunch cereal on the other hand was being sold despite the expiry date. But you really need to do a better job with your quality checks as this is unbelievable for your brand! @fssaiindia

Shady practices @NaturesBasket i purchased 2 cereal boxes from your malad, mumbai outlet yesterday which are being sold post their expiry date! @fssaiindia

[Noel @nerdnrd81]

However your imported seems to have his own labelling on the box indicating the manufacturing date as 19th May’24. This is downright a disgusting practice and needs to be investigated. All prior labels by the manufacturer seem to be erased

@HDFCBank_Cares 50 minutes with your customer care additional 15 just to try and get to a supervisor. What’s the point of being a preferred customer!!! All this for a simple forex transaction request. Pathetic that you keep passing me around.

This is distasteful on all levels @HindustanTimes @HT_Ed and do not justify it as using her song titles, it’s just not plausible! @Adele @RichPaul4

Here's a look at how they make money.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

I was recently struck by a realization:

The people I read books about are very rarely the people I would ever want to trade lives with.

Why?

The price of their success was not one I would be willing to pay.

There is a price tag for anything you want to achieve in life.

Every single thing you want is an output that requires certain inputs to buy or earn.

Importantly, there's a "List Price" and a "Real Price":

• The List Price is the actual, direct price to pay for the thing you want (effort, time, energy, etc.).

• The Real Price is the List Price plus the indirect price in the form of the tradeoffs and opportunity cost of the pursuit.

Using the example of John D. Rockefeller, the List Price for his success was the countless years of 24/7 hard work and focus, but the Real Price also included the loving relationships lost, the physical and mental health deterioration from the nonstop schedule, and the reputation damage of some of his business practices.
There's the List Price you see, and the Real Price you don't.

Before you go after anything, make sure you know both.

What I've learned: There are many things in life that look like a great deal based on the List Price, but a ripoff based on the Real Price.

Three questions we all need to ask ourselves:

1. What is the List Price of the thing you want?

2. What is the Real Price of the thing you want?

3. Are you willing to pay that Real Price?

For me, thinking clearly about the List Price and the Real Price of the things I want has helped create a balanced existence.

I spent most of my life thinking that I wanted to build something enormous, be extraordinarily rich or famous, and have some large buildings named after me.

But while the world certainly needs some people to continue thinking like that, as I've matured, I've realized that the Real Price of those things is not one that I'm willing to pay (at least not for now).

It would almost certainly mean giving up these 1pm Wednesday pool days with my son—and I'm just not willing to do that.
In a different season of my life, perhaps I will reconsider my view on the Real Price, but for now, I'm thrilled to enjoy my pool days and leave the building of something enormous to one of my amazingly ambitious followers!

@MCO you’ve outdone yourself. The new terminal is a breath of much needed fresh air. Never cleared the airport, immigration included, in a faster time. The staff were absolutely on point as well. Saw them handing out flowers for Mother’s Day too. Kudos 👏🏾

@virsanghvi @JFKairport MCO was a breath of fresh air this time around. Out from the gate to the curb in 10 mins tops.

[TheLiverDoc™ @theliverdoc]

You knew what Mondelez-Cadbury's did to The FoodPharmer when he called out the low quality in their Bounrvita product.

Now please listen to this very serious issue that has been happening on the side lines with respect to another company and their products.

BIG MUSCLES protein powder.

The YouTube influencer and Bodybuilding specialist Satvik Pandey (@satvik_pandey_ ) had analyzed Big Muscles protein and found that they were scamming the consumers. The label said one thing, but the analysis revealed something completely different.
https://t.co/Pfi3x7nPWn

He found that Big Muscles was 'amino spiking' their products - meaning, using low quality amino acids to bump up overall protein content, which artificially inflates protein quantity falsely making consumers believe that they are getting high-quality supplement.

In reality, they are getting very less protein content, with additives that cost you a lot more. Not just Satvik, but other fitness influencers also found the same thing with Big Muscles.

Trustified (on the All About Nutrition Channel) also found the same plus additionally, heavy metals and low protein than labelled in Big Muscles. https://t.co/UbHddoJSOo

But the story starts here.
Big Muscles have now started to harass the well-meaning and important for public health, Satvik Pandey with a series of serious troubling steps.

They did not go legal. They did not file a court case. Instead, they sent the Delhi Police to hound him. The very concerning issues that happened with Satvik was made public recently on his YT channel - https://t.co/IsiY8zFBa7

Its crazy what he went through.
Big Muscles sent cops to him telling him that during a meeting, they will PAY HIM to take the videos off. When he was clear that was not happening, then the senior cops in Delhi Police started harassing him with multiple calls and station visits. At one point, one cop tells Satvik's lawyer - "we know the work you did was truthful, but truth comes with a price." - and bargained for a bribe to let it slide.

Satvik did not yield. So, the senior Police Officer was called in the next time. Satvik showed him all the documents of analysis from approved/authorized labs - the police did not bother. He said, "show any number of documents, none of that will matter, until you yield." - because he was clearly paid by the Company to shut Satvik up.

The Delhi Police then gave out Satvik's home address - they doxxed him.
[Doxxing: search for and publish private or identifying information about (a particular individual) on the internet, typically with malicious intent.]

Satvik very clearly mentions that if anything bad happens to him/his family, then the CEO, the Marketing Head (the person who harassed Satvik the most) and CEO's father were to blame.

BUT THE REAL REASON WHY I AM WRITING THIS TWEET IS BECAUSE - Satvik's findings are CORRECT.

Because in our well planned and designed Protein Project (see here https://t.co/tEsMTXKI6F), we found EXACTLY what Satvik describes with Big Muscles.

It WAS THE WORST protein in our study. Big muscles Frotein Whey, with an advertised 76.5%, but detected a protein of 26.1%; Big Muscles Vegan Protein, with an advertised 81.3% and detected 19.4% protein.
https://t.co/BO0E5EyUnN

Big Muscles was also the worst when it came to 'MISLABELLING' their product. See here https://t.co/eqALei20nY

Big Muscles was also one among the few which contained pesticide residue and also traces of Cadmium and Lead https://t.co/5aGdPGvJjL & https://t.co/GqiMVJllrk

I am a clinical-scientist and I have the largest peer-reviewed published evidence of analytical work on herbal and dietary supplements in the world at present. I support Satvik's findings and I would like every one of you to please look out for him and get him the support he needs. Please retweet so that this reaches many, and as Satvik mentions in his video, let more people test (costs <1000 INR) and bring evidence that will help him come out winning.

Big Muscles maybe big on muscle tactics, but brains beat brawn any day.
