That's really stupid! The novel it was taken from "Make Room Make Room!" was just depressing, while the film suggested Soylent was made from (ex) human beings!
Even if they were initially ignorant of the connection, surely someone would have pointed it out by now ? Is that really a good selling point for your product ? If I were in the market for a meal replacement drink, that name would guarantee I would not be buying their version. Crazy.

ReplyDeleteThe company making drinks must have known what Solyent is associated with, surely!

ReplyDeleteThere was a protein bar somewhere in the world called Shyte!!
Deleteha ha, must have been at the bottom of the shelf!
DeleteI've actually had a SoyLent - very tasty, but a bit pricey. Sort of an upscale whey protein drink.
