The food replacement Soylent is now hitting 2.0. The new version will come premixed in bottled liquid form instead of powder, though the powdered version will still exist. It will cost $12 per day, as opposed to $9 per day for the powder. The liquid and powder versions will have slightly different compositions.

In other Soylent news (pun intended), Soylent products will now be shipping in two to three days instead of the multi-month waits previously due to overwhelming demand relative to supply.

    Stereotypical midwestern old wives tale, canned broth to treat digestive malfunctions.

    The end result is you grow up associating the taste of beef broth or chicken broth with explosive vomiting and diarrhea, so it gets associated in your mind and mostly inedible. Much like "every" college student eventually has an unfortunate run-in with vodka and kool-aide leading to an inability to drink either in the future.

    Its a pity, as a low carb energy drink you probably can't do much better than a broth of some kind.

    For the non-americans broth is the seasoned liquid in soups. So if you had classic chicken noodle and took out the chunks of chicken, the noodles, and the veg then you'd end up with flavored liquid chicken broth.
