@AndyD273 I bought some of the early versions and ended up throwing them away because I couldn't bring myself to eat them. Remember the goop from The Matrix where Tanks says "Everything the body needs". Soylent is like that, only a slurry instead of goop.
Yeah, I haven't tried it, probably won't for the foreseeable future. My comment was in relation to the discussion about using Soylent Green as a joke sponsor, and that may cause confusion since there is a company with that name.
@AndyD273 I'm not sure why the Soylent Manufacturer decided to call it Soylent given the extremely close proximity to Soylent Green. If I were a trademark lawyer, I'd advise them to pick a different name. It's just too close.
Well, I kinda doubt that the twilight zone had it trademarked? And the name got them a lot of buzz solely because it's so close to that.
I'm sure they relish every soylent green joke simply because that means people are talking about them, instead of referring to them as the company that makes the horrible goop that I can't remember the name of.
That being said, I'd probably buy it for a dollar, just to see if it's all that bad.
@AndyD273 For me the taste wasn't bad, it was just so bland that I couldn't stand eating it for days, weeks, months at a time. In a survival situation, I probably could but....
I don't think it was supposed to be used that way though. I know some people did, just to see if they could, but I remember reading that the company didn't advise it.
I'm kinda thinking about trying to make the lembas bread from the WB question a few weeks back.
Something that can be a breakfast replacement when I'm trying to get to work and can't make a proper breakfast
@AndyD273 I remember differently. The CEO of Soylent bragged about living on it and nothing else for months at a time. Lots of people with gluten sensitivity said they would make it their exclusive food source (Not sure how that worked out for them.)
