Anyone have a problem with Cytomax?
I bought two new tubs this year - one in April and one in June (because I forgot I had purchased one in April). Opened one today and found bugs inside. Yuck! Opened the other, no bugs but as I was mixing it I noticed it initially turned an orange color. I've been buying the Cool Citrus flavor for a while, and it's never turned orange. A couple of shakes later it was yellow, but it tasted completely wrong. Did they change their formulation or did I get two bad batches?

The bugs thing is a problem. You should call them immediately about that.
The orange color first thing though. It's always worked that way for me with Cool Citrus. Orange at high concentrations (like when you're first filling the bottle with water), greenish at drinkin' strength.

Yeah,
Cytomax can go bad. Never seen anything else like it. Contact the company, include the product idenifying info on the can (if there is any) and tell them about the bugs and that the other went bad.

I figured it was just my lucky day. I've seen bugs in flour and sugar, but never in a sealed can like this one. And the can that tasted wrong has a date of July 2007 on the bottom.
I'll call the company and see what happens.
