I thought they called it Soylent as kind of a joke. I’m sure they’re already fully aware of what Soylent Green is lol
Yeah the creator said the name was specifically meant to pique curiosity and I’d say OP fell for it
OP always falls for ‘it’
Is “it” in the room with us now?
No, check the storm drain.
Damn. Hot the nail on the head. Found my balloon too.
OP is a fucking shill, intentional or not.
That said I kind of like soy and lentil protein drinks, so…
Yes that is where the name stems from.
It was soy and lentil in the book.
The movie based on the book made it people.
Been waiting a while for this lol
Soylent Cola? How is it?
It varies from person to person.
I came here for this!
I think you overestimate the knowledge of the average consumer.
People, amirite?
Delicious, delicious people.
Not really, that stuff tastes like shit
Only if you eat the colon.
Or the rich
But they’re so marbled…
Actually drinking a Soylent Mint Chocolate right now. One of the better flavors!
It’s the long pig that makes it tasty.

Just watch out for the brains.
Mmmmm prions
It’s the Vanilla for me. Silky smoooooth people bits!
I don’t get it
There was a movie in the 1970s about a dystopian future where there was not enough food to go around. The main food company was named Soilent.
So it was coming out with a new product that would end hunger. It was made out of algae, and it was called Soilent Green.
Charleston Heston was the hero of the movie and he broke into the factory and figured out that it was actually made from dead people.
Thank you :)
And holy shit what a movie…
It was spelled Soylent, just like this product.
And it’s made of soy and lentils, hence the name. At least it was in the novel the film was (loosely) based on.
And the movie added the “Green” for some reason.
IIRC there were two variants in the movie and the “green” variant based on humans was added as a new product because the production couldn’t keep up with population increase.
The movie was called the ten commandments btw.
“Get your paws off me, you damn dirty god!”
That man? Abraham Lincoln.
As far as meal replacement shakes go, Soylent is the least offensive to your mouth if not in its name.
The mint one is especially good. But they certainly can’t replace a meal, IMO. They don’t really do anything at all to make you feel full enough that they actually satisfy hunger. I tend to have them for breakfast, but with toast or a bagel to actually feel like I ate.
My brother managed to drink only it for a while and it gave him crazy bad poops initially but it balanced out. He’s just the soulless kind of guy it’s meant for, he didn’t miss the taste of real food in the slightest.
He’s kicked it, though, probably because it really isn’t great long term as the only thing you eat.
Used to have it for lunch every day and it wasn’t bad at all, knew the recipe by heart at some point…

That was my experience with Soylent, but huel works for me.
Huel was my fave for a while.
But even having it twice a day (breakfast + Lunch) I maintained weight but felt forever hungry. So it was kinda shit.
Also if you didn’t clean the flask straight after it turned into a biological warfare weapon.
Oh and the backend result was not pleasant. Lots of gas and floaty cauliflower shit.
They are only like 200 calories so it’s no surprise it’s not filling
Soylent; encouraging cannibalism without advertising it
They knew
Whoa they still exist? I remember getting a bunch some long ass time ago and it was decent but pretty expensive. I don’t think they had flavours like this though.
I got some from vybey about a year ago. They sent out promo codes because of slow shipping, and I stacked that with a sale discount and free shipping to get about 500 powder meals for 35% off. I only eat them after gym sessions or while hiking so they gonna last me a long time.
4.39?!? Fuck that’s so much. Granted I used to drink the powder mix so I’m used to those prices
