My protein powder didn't come with a scoop?!

I just opened my optimum nutrition gold standard whey and was very surprised to find it doesn't have a scoop! All of the other powders I've used have come with one but I didn't think to keep one of them just in case. It was sealed properly and the serving size says "one rounded scoop" am I being dumb? Is it like the prize in a box of cereal? I don't have a kitchen scale so I can't even measure out the 32g :huh:

    sometimes the scoop settles all the way to the bottem of my protein mix and I have to dig to find it...

    Ok lol dug with a big spoon and it was at the bottom! I guess it was like the prize in a box of cereal. That's never happened to me before, I've always found it near the top. Thanks guys! Lets keep this on the DL :laugh:

    Lol. I usually find it toward the top but when I pull it out all of the powder packed inside spills out all over!

    Some of the cheaper ones I've bought didn't come with a scoop - it obviously reduces cost and if you're a regular buyer then you don't need a new scoop everytime.

    Having said that I'd have thought Optimum Nutrition Gold would always include one as it's not a budget powder.

    Get a digital scale anyway! You would be surprised, especially with protein powder.

    and peanut butter! I like knowing i get the grams right rather than a "scoop" or a tablespoon, which everyone measures differently.

    I had that happen to me for the first time... and I'm on container number 5... luckily I keep the old scoops (works great for chocolate milk mix for the kids) so I just used an old one until I dug the new one up.

    It sucks that you have no way to weigh your whey.

    I've been really wanting one for ages. Just haven't gotten one yet

    Oh, go ahead! They are really inexpensive -- try E-Bay. Things to look for: gram and ounce settings and a 'tare' feature.
