The first season of Superjail may just be the best that Adult Swim has ever played. The trippy visuals, utterly bizarre stories, and insanely catchy theme music unite to create an experience that is unforgettable. After a few years, the second season of Superjail finally aired.

Late last year, they released their Whey Protein in vanilla and chocolate. While the amount of proteins on the market are numerous, I believe that Scivation’s effort is one that is different. The miscibility of the product is some of the best that we have…
