Soylent Cola? How is it?
It varies from person to person.
This may just not be the best packaging idea...

This joke was old in 2013.
BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
As I recall, the joke was getting old in the late 90s on slashdot
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Yes but I’m talking about when the actual Soylent beverage was invented and named by Rob Reinhardt. 2013.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I’m pretty sure they didn’t have Soylent Green in 2013. Just Soylent.
dipshit@lemmy.world 8 months ago
that’s where you’re wrong, kiddo.

I think you overestimate the knowledge of the average consumer.

Actually drinking a Soylent Mint Chocolate right now. One of the better flavors!

Delicious, delicious people.

Not really, that stuff tastes like shit

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.

The movie was called the ten commandments btw.

Thank you :)
And holy shit what a movie…
samus12345@lemmy.world 8 months ago
It was spelled Soylent, just like this product.

As far as meal replacement shakes go, Soylent is the least offensive to your mouth if not in it’s name.
taiyang@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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.
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I lived on the Soylent bottles for quite a while, but one particularly busy active summer 2021 it landed me in the hospital because it turns out Soylent has no sodium, and if you have no sodium in your body then you end up in the hospital on a saline drip. Lesson learned and I share that lesson with everyone every time this topic comes up.

Used to have one for lunch every day and it wasn’t bad at all, knew the recipe by heart at some point…
bustrpoindextr@lemmy.world 8 months ago
They don’t really do anything at all to make you feel full enough that they actually satisfy hunger
That was my experience with Soylent, but huel works for me.
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 8 months ago
The powdered versions of Soylent are much more satiating. I’m pretty sure they intentionally formulated the liquid kind to not be so satisfying, you know cuz people buy more when they’re still hungry, And when people buy more, Soylent earns more.
thorbot@lemmy.world 8 months ago
They are only like 200 calories so it’s no surprise it’s not filling
cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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.

Soylent; encouraging cannibalism without advertising it

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.
Agent641@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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.
eletes@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
4.39?!? Fuck that’s so much. Granted I used to drink the powder mix so I’m used to those prices
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I used to live on those when they cost a little over $1 per bottle. The price inflation now is outrageous. Anyway I stopped drinking Soylent mid-2021 soon after they switched their sweetener to allulose. My body did not like allulose. I drink Jimmy Joy Plenny Shake now, and eat MealSquares.

I’ll take posts where the OP missed the joke for 100, Alex

Soylent is amazing. Original powder with a banana blended is my breakfast every day.
MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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
powerofm@lemmy.ca 8 months ago
Yeah the creator said the name was specifically meant to pique curiosity and I’d say OP fell for it!
thesilverpig@lemmy.world 8 months ago
OP always falls for ‘it’
Habahnow@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
Yes that is where the name stems from.
Thann@lemmy.ml 8 months ago
Been waiting a while for this lol
ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
It was soy and lentil in the book.
The movie based on the book made it people.
