Now that the dust has settled, what went wrong?
>>

That you were allowed to acquire a VPN

>>21921831
Flavor
Cheap ingredients sourced by money hungry tech bros and not nutritionists
Honestly just not remotely big enough portions. I am not a four foot ten Asian woman
I really wanted these to be good. It would be so useful if they were

Search YouTube for Stephen Colbert's interview with the founder. Seriously.
>>
>>21922333
Never mind. It's been basically scrubbed from the entire internet because it was that cringe and bad. You can't find it anywhere.
>>
>>21922333
doesn't seem to exist anymore
>>
>>21922339
Yeah, you just missed my previous post. >>21922338 It's been scrubbed from all news sites and YouTube. I saw it when it aired. I understand why they scrubbed it. It would kill any product if you saw that as the person who founded it.
>>
The whole point of working is to get money to eat good food and go out with friends. Yet this product is like, you are way too busy working so let's take the joy out of eating so you can get right back to work.
>>
>>21922342
That's exactly the premise of the product that the founder stated.

Like that's exactly it. He said eating food was taking too much time out of my job, so I made a beverage that contains all the essential vitamins that I can drink and not have to stop working.
>>
>>21921841
Huel is good. I eat a lot and two scoops does the job for me
>>
It’s not bad a few times a week, eating can be a chore. Wish we had a food pill
>>
>>21921831
Stupid name, crazy founder.

Pic rel is the guy who created this shit. This is what you will look like if you drink it.
>>
>>21921831
It being absolutely nothing new and things like this having existed for decades certainly didn't help.
>>
>>21922342
if you hate eating at work its perfect, just chug something and use your break for something else
no heating or taking shit with you necessary, just a bottle
the concept is great
>>
>>21922813
Please show me a drink that you could actually live off of that contains 100% of your daily required vitamins and minerals that existed in 2006

Any diet or nutrition shake such as Slim Fast or pic related.
There are also ideally composed mixtures for people who cannot swallow anymore or are artifically fed.

>>21922900
Thats a supplement, not a full meal replacement. You'll fuck your body up drinking nothing but ensure.

I remember seeing that interview too. Colbert was just making fun of it the whole time. Which makes sense as this is a product easy to make fun of.
Imagine being such a tech bro that you think having a kitchen is inefficient. Those are the kinds of non-human losers that Soylent appeals to
>>
>>21922842
You can't do that with Soylent either
It's Slim Fast for tech weenies
>>
>>21922939
I'm glad someone else remembers seeing it. I always feel like whenever I bring it up that nobody is going to believe me because it's essentially been scrubbed from the whole net.
>>
>>21921831
Food is such an essential part of the human existence, culture, social life etc that anyone using this substance cannot be nothing else than a soulless subhuman
>>
>>21922940
That's literally what Soylent was formulated for.
>>
>>21921831
Where to start…
>founder is a cyborg or alien who finds eating real food “inconvenient” and “harmful to productivity”
>tastes like lightly sweetened wallpaper paste
>bottles impossible to open for target demographic
>gives you the farts / diarrhea
>every single other product they’ve tried to bring to market has been recalled
>contains FDA safe levels of cadmium and lead
>named after sci-fi dystopian nightmare product
