Yeah, so, um… I just found a shaker I lost about a month ago and there was some protein shake left at the bottom. When I opened it, it smelled SO. INCREDIBLY. BAD.
I didn’t know that stuff could smell so bad. It seriously smelled like somebody farted sauerkraut.
Has this happened to anyone else? I’m soaking it in a baking soda paste right now, and if that doesn’t work, I’m going to seal some newspaper in it overnight. But, man, I can’t get over how awful it smells.
And I don’t want to throw it out because it’s a really awesome shaker, but OMG that smell…[/quote]

Is this really a tough decision to make?

Hell, he needed an entire thread for it.
I mean, clearly since an entire month has passed…he REALLY needed that shaker cup from all of the frequent protein shakes he drinks daily.
Last month must have been real bad for muscle gains, huh?

I hope he doesn’t have to make any real decisions where he works. He’s probably holding it, and still thinking about what the hell to do…

No, this has never happened to anyone else before. I mean, it certainly hasn’t been discussed here before…or recently either.
Seriously, is it really that difficult to replace a shaker bottle?
Oh sweetie, are you getting jaded in your old age?
I have three of the same shaker that I can’t find in stores to buy more so if one had some funk in one of them I would be in mourning.
Seriously, put the said shaker in the dishwasher like ten times. (^:[/quote]
Or use bleach once and be done with it. Bleach destroys bacteria. Bacteria are why it smells. Bacteria can get lodged within micro-crevices in the plastic.

I really hope you are never asked to counsel high school kids. Teenage girls in particular; there’d be a spike in eating disorders.
OP,
Either buy a new one or use a teaspoon of bleach or some oxy clean with warm water. Let sit for 30 min, rinse about half a dozen times. Lazy ass…
Freshman year, in the dorms, my room mate fermented a gallon of water and protein powder for about a month. Then he dumped it all over the stairwell in our dorms. It was incredibly funny at the time seeing the reactions to the horrendous stench, but now I feel like a complete jerk.
Ending up taking three attempts at cleaning it to get all the smell gone.
