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.

A lot of people have extremely polarized initial reactions to Soylent and similar products. The number one misunderstanding I see is that you do not have to eat Soylent exclusively. You can occasionally eat Soylent for a single meal or a snack and indulge in all the caviar, hamburgers, and ice cream you want the rest of the time. Crazy, right?
If you don't have time to prepare breakfast in the morning, a bottle of Soylent is miles better than going without or grabbing a bag of chips or a microwave meal. If you're in the middle of a focused programming or gaming session, a glass of Soylent is better than stopping to prep and eat a meal (arguably) or going without. If you're going on a hiking trip, powdered Soylent is a lot more efficient weight-wise and nutrition-wise than many other hiking foods. It's easy to "eat" since it's in liquid form.
Do you judge, for example, your favorite ice cream by whether or not you want to exclusively eat that ice cream for the rest of your life? No? Then why do you do it for Soylent? "Because that's how it's marketed!" No, it's not, actually. They even make a point of including an FAQ question:
How do I use Soylent? However you like!
Soylent is designed as a simple staple food, and people incorporate it into their lives to varying degrees. Some people use it almost exclusively, while others use it 2-3 times per week.
There is no right or wrong amount of Soylent to eat - the whole idea is to find a balance that works for you.
