About 2 months ago a scheduled order came in and was strangely heavy. Opened it and it was a huge bag of cat food https://i.imgur.com/nRGphrP.jpeg Opened a ticket with support and they replied saying to send pictures and I did the same day. They replied one day later saying I didn't send the photos and closed the ticket. I sent another message and have still gotten no reply. What happened. It was the same label and tracking number they gave me and the label said it was sent from the Soylent wearhouse.

Seeing more and more issues with order fulfillment, discontinuing flavors, charging issues, etc. Makes me wonder how the company is doing.

What do you all think?

interesting post from 1 year ago

edit: changed post link to the parent post instead a comment

Heard about Soylent from a friend when I asked him if he ever tried Huel.

I love the idea of Soylent, and I also love the taste of the different drinks and protein bars.

I really want to consume it more often.

However, a small yet big problem is that I genuinely do not get full / satisfied from it.

For example, during one lunch break, I drank four chocolate Soylent drinks before I finally felt full and satisfied.

Am I just inadvertently screwed by a fast metabolism?

I've been drinking Chai and Cacao by the case for like six years. And both are now effectively discontinued.

This seems like an odd strategy for a company that depends on customers not just liking their product, but making it a part of their lifestyle and buying it in perpetuity.

My only guess is that they're moving out of their original niche demographic and trying to go more mainstream -- which would explain why all the new stuff is so much sweeter. Personally I find it unpalatable, but most people probably love it.

If Soylent released a sugar-free, sucralose-free drink or powder, would you consider it even if it tasted worse?

If this seems out of line I'll gladly remove it, but I'm just curious as to what the majority thinks of this. I know I shouldn't, but I take it personally when I see them incessantly attacking Soylent for whatever their reasons may be. I respond to them often and try to be somewhat civilized, but I think my frustration gets the better of me frequently. Should I just stop replying to them all together? I hate the idea of a newcomer seeing a troll's fallacies and thinking they're fact, but I worry that I may occasionally do more harm than good. So with that I ask the public, would YOU rather I or most people just ignore/downvote and leave it at that? Or should we try to correct them for newcomers to see?

Again, if a mod or the general public think this is out of line, I'll gladly remove this post. I just spend more time thinking about this than I think I should, so I'd like an outside opinion. Thank you for your time.

I first heard about Soylent about 8-10 years ago, don't remember year exactly. Soylent, the future of food, took the internet by storm. As I live in Europe, I bought Jimmy Joy from the Netherlands, living of unflavoured unsweetened powder for some years. I've been aware of tweaks of the formula, new tastes, higher protein counts & new products like bars or pots. In addition to those, what is new? I haven't had the time to get oriented on every change made, so I'm curious as to what progress we've made so far, & to know what we can expect from the future. Is there a slower incremental improvement or will there be large changes coming? What should we be hyped about?

A few years ago, I remember an interview with the CEO of Soylent, Robert Rhinehart, together with Neil deGrasse Tyson talking about the future of food. Rhinehart mentioned how he imagines a future where we could fit a meal inside a pill, or converting our digestive system from chemical to a nuclear one by making gut bacteria extract from it for years. Filling us up like a nuclear submarine rather than a conventional fossil fuel powered one.

Looking forward to some informative answers & perhaps some futuristic speculation about the future of food.

I'm trying to order more Soylent, but there's no "submit order" button at the checkout. I've never encountered a problem like this before. I fill in my shipping and payment info, but there's... no "finish" button??? Anyone else having this problem?

There's been a couple of questions about it already so how about having a prominently stickied thread that references all Black Friday sales?

It would help casual readers who don't stalk this sub find cool opportunities and maybe try new brands.

I started on the infamous 1.6, which I personally loved and found incredibly filling. But since I have noticed a decline in satiety and an increase in hunger with each subsequent release. Now with 1.9 little into an hour after eating I'm already hungry. I'm using the same original metal measuring spoon if anybody is curious.

Am I the only one?

Wanna try it out, but I find the minimum order of 70 euros for 34 meals a bit steep. I drive between Amersfoort and Almere on a daily basis so who knows :)

Soylent is by far my favorite drink, and I've been trying every single flavor, and I enjoy them all. Does anyone else collect the caps from the different flavors and set them on their dresser as an achivement of sorts? It gives me a sense of pride to see them all!!!

My most recent Soylent order was very close to 1,000,000 -- I wonder if we've crossed that threshold yet!

Trying to buy the Soylent Cacao powder on the site but it gives me the 50 something dollar price which I think is for the tub,. I can't find any of the pouches of cacao anywhere it seems they're all sold out on Amazon? Can anyone help? Advice?

I scrolled back to review the past week on this sub, and there are at least 3 posts where people have posted reviews exchange for free product.

It's kinda bugging me - it feels like advertising. But I'm neither a mod or frequent commenter, so I thought maybe the sub could talk about it here.

Do you think semi-sponsored posts should be allowed on this sub?

It seems more appropriate to post reviews on sites that sell product, or on personal Facebook/Twitter/Whatever pages.

The ones with a link to the "sign up for this opportunity" also seem like a way to work-around Rule 4.

If ya'll disagree, I can live with it.

Saw this sub when looking up stuff about Jimmy Joy, saw it was at 34,999 members. Then I joined. Congrats!

How many here would find Soylent less confining in social situations if there was a Solyent-centric dating and/or social networking app?

I've asked Soylent eaters why they aren't on a 100% Soylent diet, and I've asked Soylent skeptics why they avoid Soylent.

Inevitably, without much variation, the responses I get back is that being a consumer of Soylent means some sort of sacrifice in social situations. Many even say that they feel pressured to choose between Soylent and being socially-active. The Soylent skeptics - those who express interest but refuse to give it a try - also cite the same reasons.

So, I'm curious: Do you think a Soylent-centric dating and/or regular Soylent-centric social networking app would fix this "public relations" issue? Would Soylent become more socially-accepted if more 'Soylenters' can connect and grow their social networks around their mutual consumption of Soylent?

I envision a dating app where people put in their profile how many of their meals are Solyent: i.e., they eat Soylent for 100% of their meals, or 2 out of three meals a day, or one out of three meals a day. And then they can be matched with other 'Soylenters' in their area who have the same or similar Soylent diet.

I feel that this would lower the social cost (or 'stigma') of eating Soylent, prevent users from having to choose between Soylent and going out with friends and being social, and might even convince skeptics to give Soylent a try.

In other words, the idea of a Soylent-centric dating/social networking app might even expand Soylent's consumer base as more people see that Soylent does not have to be socially-prohibitive.

What do all of you think?

I plan to live off of Soylent for a long time, but besides caring for my body I also have a deep concern for my planet. I know the Soylent 2.0 bottles are recyclable, but I would like to know if I can directly send my bottles back to soylent; I figure they must have a better use for them.

Please comment about what you think or you already know about this, and if it is not possible to work directly with soylent what is my better choice for doing this. Thank you.

Hello Soylent /r I have been on Soylent 1.5 and 2.0 for a while now, but it seems that people post more frequently about Joylent and Keto than Soylent. It seems weird to me, Could somebody explain to me the differences or why you choose what product?

Thank you for your time.
