This is a joke, right? Nobody in their right mind would name their food product 'Soylent'.

>>7874073
What would you call it instead?

I tried it recently, and it wasn't bad. Not filling at all, my stomach was gurgling all day, and it was damned annoying, but it wasn't bad, it tasted a bit sweeter than i'd like though.

The name is because it's largely made made from proteins, lent from soy.

The millenial generation doesn't know about soylent green, so given that they're by and large the consumer base, it's not as big of a deal as any person over the age of 25 might think.

>gurgling all day.

You do know it is a meal replacement, not a full days replacement, right?

>Nobody in their right mind would name their food product 'Soylent'.

it gets people talking about it and projects a tone of harsh futurism.

surely if it's supposed to be able to replace any given meal it should be able to replace every given meal.

like what meal does it actually replace. if it's not nutritionally complete what kind of diet is it supposed to be supplementing.

its marketing is misleading.

>>7874073
It's marketing. Everyone would talk about drinking the real Soylent and shit

Careful with that shit, it'll turn you into a speedrunner, then turn you into a transsexual.
>>
the name comes from the novel 'Make Room! Make Room!' which was the inspiration for 'Soylent Green'. in the novel, 'soylent' is short for 'soy and lentils'.
>>
>>7874074
'Boylent'
'Goylent'
'Toylent'
>>
>>7874213
You are supposed to drink 4 glasses per day.

I've tried some Euro copies. Made me feel ill after a few days on it.
