Creatine powder has the same consistency as dextrose (a type of sugar), and I'm pretty sure some of the unreputable brands just fill it with dextrose. Oh, gotta love the american industries...everyone is just out for money!
Important edit....when I said that they shot through the roof, I didn't practice my next dilution yet. I had just used the test strip on un-diluted urine and the sqaure was much darker than normal. After practicing diluting again and testing the diluted sample, the levels were still under the limit. Read my other thread for more information. I realize that was not the best thing to say, I was just excited because I thought it had actually worked!
