Protein powder issue, one foamy and one not... why?

I bought the Dymatize Iso - 100 Hydrolyzed in strawberry. I have been mixing it with water and it turns out great. It's smooth, everything dissolves completely and it's not very foamy at all. Then I got this *kitten* called Pure Protein from Wal-Mart simply because it was so cheap and I wanted to use it to cook with. I made one shake with it just to try it out. I mixed it the same as my other stuff, 8 oz of water and 1 scoop of powder. I noticed that the entire shake pretty much turned to foam. It was kind of like shaking a container filled with water and dish soap. I shrugged it off and decided to make pancakes with it the other day. I had already made some pancakes with my other powder that came out pretty good but this other stuff just doesn't want to cooperate. Can anyone tell me why this Pure Protein acts this way. Something besides "it's a cheap Wal-Mart product" would be appreciated lol.

Edit: I used the Blender Bottle with both proteins

    could be because the wal mart stuff has a higher sugar content, or a certain flavouring they use causing it to foam up.

    I googled it and it seems that there is trouble with foaming in a lot of different protein powders. I don't recall ever seeing it this bad though. I didn't know if there was a particular ingredient that is causing it or what. So far google has given me no answers.

    that's why I don't like whey proteins, they're too frothy for me.

    Never seen that happen with Whey, but it is common with Egg Whites Protein.
