I thought they called it Soylent as kind of a joke. I’m sure they’re already fully aware of what Soylent Green is lol

Yeah the creator said the name was specifically meant to pique curiosity and I’d say OP fell for it

OP is a fucking shill, intentional or not.

It was soy and lentil in the book.

The movie based on the book made it people.

As I recall, the joke was getting old in the late 90s on slashdot

Yes but I’m talking about when the actual Soylent beverage was invented and named by Rob Reinhardt. 2013.

I’m pretty sure they didn’t have Soylent Green in 2013. Just Soylent.

The green bottles came out around 2018. I was there for it. I bought them and I drank them and they were delicious. The book Soylent Green and the movie Soylent Green were 1960s 1970s. The creator of the nutritional beverage Rob Reinhardt has a dark wry sarcastic sense of humor and he named his new creation Soylent on purpose because of his sense of humor, before he had any idea his invention would take off on an international level of popularity. His invention first became publicly available around 2013. He has made motions and attempts to rename the brand but it has become so popular, name and product, that he & Rosa Foods are leaving the name alone for now.
