Could I save a bunch of money on meals? Is it filling enough to eat, we, drink 3 meals a day?
I'm poor and this could save me pennies that keep me from getting kicked out if my duplex

Not yet, but my employee's cousin is the creator/CEO guy of that stuff. There have got to be a TON of hunger charity type applications for this stuff.

SOYLENT GREEN IS PE....

I'm really happy for you Thorn, and I'm going to let you finish, but Soylent Green is one of the greatest foods of all time. OF ALL TIME!

I love my grandmother and wouldn't want to dine on her after she is talked into killing herself because she is old.

I can't decide if using Soylent as the name was pure stupidity or absolute genius.

It takes away the socialization aspect of eating IMO. Plus food has different tastes and textures. Would never give up food to drink that every meal, everyday.

I empathize with you here. I think it's genius... but it took me a good long while to come to that. This isn't a product for the masses. It's instant mental brand recognition. The mere fact that you could try "soylent" which is clearly not actually people, will bring a curiosity to even people that will never use it beyond their first try.

Dieters / outdoor people / and def charity work i think is likely the main function. This type of product seems in the "inevitable" category. Whether it's currently viable, idk.

Its application was never meant for that. No one would just eat that over good tasting food... unless you're fasting or something, lol.

Just watched the video on their website; I'm intrigued. If it really is legit, I'd like to experiment with this for my lunches rather than packing sandwiches every day
