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.

I suggest looking at https://diy.soylent.com/. [soylent.com] There are some recipes that allow you to try a mix without buying a week's worth.
You also can edit the recipe, which seems important for something you can live off of (everyone is different). I only replace one meal a day so I'm not as picky about hitting my daily numbers in every category.
Here is my current recipe: https://diy.soylent.com/recipes/richsoylent. [soylent.com] I make no guarantees on the taste.

For $12 US a day I can eat real food (not counting the occasional meal out).

A very valid point. The powder is actually 9 a day, and if you roll your own you can be down to less than 3.
But that point aside, I'm a person who does not enjoy cooking. I would much rather spend my time doing something else (like writing this post). So with that mindset, I'm eating garbage frozen meals or eating fast food to keep costs down, and yet I'm still spending more time "preparing" the food than with a liquid meal.
Some people benefit from Soylent because of dietary restrictions. Allergies like corn, or sensitivity to glucose, or moral restrictions like vegans can have a fast meal on the go without finding a specialty restaurant/store. My friend has a mild sensitivity to beef and oats, so if you are on a road trip you want to be sure that those items are not consumed unless you want to stop frequently. You can avoid them most of the time, but this is an easy alternative to fast food.
