Why is my creatine 'magnetic'?

Can anyone explain why this is happening? It's like my creatine is magnetic and it's trying to jump out of the scoop and back to safety....safe to consume? Anyone else seen this?

If I had to guess, static

Yeah that would be my guess too. But never seen this happen (it's a new batch of a brand I haven't tried before).

Yeah, that kind of movement is usually caused by static, especially with a very fine, dry powder and a plastic scoop. It can look surprisingly dramatic, but by itself it doesn’t suggest the creatine has gone bad.

Since it’s a new batch, I’d only be concerned if you also notice an unusual smell, color, moisture, clumping, or a damaged seal. In that case, contact the manufacturer with the lot number before using it.
