In sports & fitness related magazines etc, they will advertise these on almost every 10 pages. The truth is that an average person in the UK will get enough protien in their diet (you should be able to get by on atleast 50g a day)

The best protien is in solid form (meats etc) because it stays in your system for longer, so Protien Shakes should be a last resort when you are getting very little protien in your diet.

Also renember, protien shakes will come in 300-400+ calories per serving so there not that great if your trying to loose body fat as you have to burn that extra bit more.

that's all ^^
Totally agree with you, +REP. The main aspect of these companies is to make money for selling a milkshake, basically. The only reason you see steroid pumping bodybuilders consuming these "protein" shakes is because they have mass calories in them, they need the calories to remain big as steroids just pump fluid into the tissue.. PLUS most of them take cocaine leading up to Mr.Olympia because they need to burn body fat, the shake supplements this.
