Welcome to Thunderdome

I've been using this for the past several months. Replaces the hideous cafe food at work since I'm far too lazy to prepare weekday meals ahead of time if they take longer than ten minutes. I can barely stand nuking things, either. Tastes all fucked up.

This is a dehydrated food, not a supplement. You mix in a scoop or two with water. Each serving has a proportional amount of vitamins, nutrients, protein, fat, salt, etc. The effect being you get nearly 100% of your daily requirements from it (minus some extra water) if that's all you consume. The most interesting bit is that I don't get the "I'm not quite full, I need to eat solid food" feeling I thought I would. I am kind of a freak in that I take it straight. The vast majority of users add in some kind of juice or tasty, sugary liquid to give it some real flavour because the artificial vanilla one they used to have got removed a couple versions ago. I'm more apt to add the used fruit from my moonshine or some kava kava. Yeah, versions. Like 1.1, 1.2, ad nauseum. They're up to 1.5 now. It also comes with a user manual and change history log.

Coffee soylent. They appear to be branching out into solids as well.

Protein bar. Considering trying one pack to see what's what.

Protein bar isn't quite accurate. It's supposed to be more.

Great for weight loss

I kind of want to try one just to see if it makes me puke. Maybe the next time my wife makes me go to something stupid...

Whatever it is, it's staying out of the powder. My immune system is presently compromised, and I've been drinking Soylent 1.6 for some time. I've got none of the symptoms they describe. What I will say is that the bar isn't just condensed, solidified powder -- they have to add something (caramel-flavoured in this case) for taste. My major question would be if the people reporting the sickness are long time soylent consumers or people trying one of their products for the first time.

The 1.6 (latest) version of the powder has been placed on backorder. Reactions from under 0.1% of consumers. Got a shipment last week before the halt. Just goddamnit. Still no adverse effects.

I literally cannot tell if you are happy or not that you have not experienced side effects.

Anger?

Is emptiness an emotion?

I'm pissed because I'll have to find alternative sustenance because a tiny minority of people had a negative reaction.

Wry irony.

Word finally came down officially. Powder is backordered until next year. Fuck. They're offering a small discount on the drinks instead.

Old people aren't suiciding fast enough?

Stop projecting your hatred for your MiL onto my food products.

It's the Soylent Green. It's... it's...

I'm not sure if I should move this to the food forum, or not. It isn't, yet one ingests it. Conundrum.

It's marketed and regulated as a food product. Not a supplement or herbal anything. Counts.
