But is it people?!?!?

I kid you not. Here's a link to the FAQ for Soylent: https://faq.soylent.com/hc/en-us/articles/200836809-What-is-Soylent-.

I have no words.

someone really fails at marketing. I mean, unless their goal is to be sick and twisted.

one of my friends tried it for a week.

I made fun of him, he went back to "regular" food (even though he is one of those weirdos that hates eating). KIND OF TELLING. :)

How is this for real? Did so many people involved with this product never heard of the movie?

Please tell me this is a really bad joke.

Given the guy who invented the stuff has said in interviews that he views food as a distraction, I think it was entirely intentional

[livejournal.com profile] theferret and his wife attempted to subsist on this for a full month. Emphasis on attempted.

1970s Sci fi movie starring Chuck Heston and the awesome Edward G. Robinson. Soylent is a food like product that has replaced real food in the future. It's a conspiracy type plot, and at the end (major spoiler) you find out that Soylent Green is people.


So it's pretty much the worst name possible for a meal replacement
