If you describe a pill as "shiny" I'd expect it to be pretty glossy. I wouldn't say these are shiny at all. They are white, and the surface is smooth (like all pills) but they are no more shiny than a green "?" or just a normal vitamin tablet. I am certain these are a different batch than the Cali whites. When I picked mine up I "examined" a few, and none had the "small irregular indented circle" robE talks about. I haven't seen a Cali white myself, so can't comment on the differences, but these are definately a new line less than a week or two old. If the Cali's have been around for a while then these may not be the same batch. There are some similarities; the chalkiness, the same basic shape, but these pills are quite big in comparison to most, and while they weren't the very best pill I've taken, it was definately better than the descriptions of the Cali's from the posts above.
A couple of friends took these over the weekend also. Big thumbs up all round!
Just one question, why are the Cali whites called "Cali whites"? What does "Cali" mean?
