Timothy, your loyalty to Metamucil over the years means a lot to us, and we’re very sorry your 4-in 1 Powder purchase didn't meet your previous expectations When we design our products, we do extensive research and consumer testing to create features that we think you'll love. We would like to learn more about the product to share with our Quality Team since the taste and smell is different from your previous purchases. For assistance, please give us a call at (800) 983-4237.
