That is actually a really interesting product. If it delivers what it promises, it could truly be a benefit to the world.
1) I cannot imagine what they were thinking when they decided to name their product "Soylent" unless they're just too fucking young to know about the film (they do look like babies to me). If this product does take off, look for an immediate name change.
2) The emphasis on "efficiency" is also ill-advised, and strikes me as creepy somehow. They should lead with the health benefits, convenience and environmental impact rather than on how cool it is to save time by guzzling tasteless nutri-powder.

What if you never had to worry about food again?
Come on that's almost a direct line from the movie, I know truth is stranger than fiction but this is a bit beyond the pale.
(speaking of which has anyone heard from our long lost child?)

I'm friends with him on Facebook and belong to a Facebook group he moderates. We get along better in real life than we did when he was here.

Pale is among the best graphic artists I know. He has an agile mind for language, too, until he's challenged. Then he gets cunty, as Pauly Walnuts used to say, devolving to cry-me-a-river, adolescent pain games.
That's real life as I know it. Snarky smokers in the school yard taught me every useful thing I know.

Later the next day...
I endured colossal weirdness yesterday and hope you'll disregard the last post. Gimme a day or two, I'll try to explain.

I didn't see anything wrong or weird about that post (I always liked Pale but he definitely had/has his neuroses), but I would very much like to read anything you're willing to tell us about "colossal weirdness."

I took pitchers, haven't mustered the courage to look.

Yeah. Been there, done that. The morning after I snuck my granny a hit of X on her 85th birthday I found 150 new pics on my I-phone. Usually I would have looked at them but a gray pube stuck in my incisors made me think twice.
Georgie, had a great time in SA this week. One day we'll have to meet up for a cocktail.
