I thought they called it Soylent as kind of a joke. I'm sure they're already fully aware of what Soylent Green is lol

Yeah the creator said the name was specifically meant to pique curiosity and I'd say OP fell for it
OP always falls for 'it'
Is "it" in the room with us now?
No, check the storm drain.
Damn. Hot the nail on the head. Found my balloon too.
OP is a fucking shill, intentional or not.
That said I kind of like soy and lentil protein drinks, so...
Yes that is where the name stems from.
Been waiting a while for this lol
It was soy and lentil in the book.
The movie based on the book made it people.
Soylent Cola? How is it?
It varies from person to person.
I came here for this!
This joke was old in 2013.
As I recall, the joke was getting old in the late 90s on slashdot
Yes but I'm talking about when the actual Soylent beverage was invented and named by Rob Reinhardt. 2013.

I think you overestimate the knowledge of the average consumer.
People, amirite?
Delicious, delicious people.
Not really, that stuff tastes like shit
Actually drinking a Soylent Mint Chocolate right now. One of the better flavors!
It's the Vanilla for me. Silky smoooooth people bits!
I don’t get it
Soylent; encouraging cannibalism without advertising it
They knew
Whoa they still exist? I remember getting a bunch some long ass time ago and it was decent but pretty expensive. I don't think they had flavours like this though.
4.39?!? Fuck that's so much. Granted I used to drink the powder mix so I'm used to those prices
I used to live on those when they cost a little over $1 per bottle. The price inflation now is outrageous. Anyway I stopped drinking Soylent mid-2021 soon after they switched their sweetener to allulose. My body did not like allulose. I drink Jimmy Joy Plenny Shake now, and eat MealSquares.

I’ll take Posts Where the OP Missed The Joke for 100, Alex
Soylent is amazing. Original powder with a banana blended is my breakfast every day.
