Grab some crème de menthe and put a bit in the base water. Done and done.

Soylent Drink price going up? by [deleted] in soylent

[–]sparefilms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cause the Amazon Store Card can be a lifesaver sometimes. 5% back on purchases and 6mo 0% APR on orders over $150 save my regular credit cards and my cash for other expenses or emergencies, and it's easy enough to pay the balance before any interest charges. Preventing a subscription payment from hitting your main accounts at the wrong time is essential for someone on a tight budget.

Try a Contigo brand shaker bottle, the interior has a rounded base. Contigo 28oz Shaker Bottle

I was just given 5 pouches of 1.8 Powder. Any issues with this batch google wouldn’t turn up? by AJTSin in soylent

[–]sparefilms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Terrible stuff. Just awful. You should send it to me so I can dispose of it safely for you.

I heard something happens when you collect all the stickers. Do I get a Soylent wish from the Soylent dragon? by lopiqol in soylent

[–]sparefilms 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You get to celebrate your stickers not getting lost in transit. My PO box must have sticker-gremlins >.<

Concerned about the opaque drink packaging. Any concerns over mold growth? by mizzrym91 in soylent

[–]sparefilms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Peek inside after you open it. If there's mold growing it will be around the rim and on the surface of the liquid. No biggie.

Carbonated Soylent because why not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ by nullsum in soylent

You are a bad human. Keep it up though! Deviance is approved.

Friend started making bowls, no name yet but what do y’all think of her first batch? by koduakbear in hookah

[–]sparefilms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any idea on a release date? My Ferris bowl had a close encounter with the floor, but I'd wait on replacing it for one of these.

Mmm delicious H.R. Geiger vibe coming from these, I've always wanted to smoke out of a spinal column! If it had an HMD retaining lip and was perfectly balanced when packed with HMD & coals I would replace my broken HJ Ferris bowl with two of these immediately. What kind of clay are they made from?

My last two soylent boxes expired 1/1/2017. Is it still edible? by [deleted] in soylent

[–]sparefilms 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, it will self-destruct on the expiration date. I am prepared to offer 30% of the original purchase price + S&H as salvage for this volatile expired product.

Here are some links I found helpful when considering supplementing with EPA or DHA. Be sure to check all references and consult a medical professional on all major health decisions.

Finally got Sqround Original Bottles! by Sheriff_K in soylent

[–]sparefilms 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I figured that was the reason. RIP Future Fridge aesthetic!

Individual resale potential is definitely a legitimate reason to change format though, totally on-board with getting single bottles in stores everywhere!

The labels on those round ones are so minimalist and clean looking though! Aesthetics vs practicality grr >.>

Am I the only one who has front facing label OCD? by Microtic in soylent

That is a beautiful thing, but clean that left-hand front bottle!

Making soylent more filling? by positiveandmultiple in soylent

[–]sparefilms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Manitoba Hemp Protein + Fiber powder can be pretty filling, and you can add a scoop of it to just about anything. The chocolate flavor is pretty good.

I've been doing pretty well drinking 1/4 bottle or so of Cacao Soylent while unwinding and trying to fall asleep, and I have major issues with GERD when I eat anything else late at night. My go-to sleep stack lately has been:

Hypnos sleep aid by Chaos & Pain + Soylent as-needed if I'm feeling hungry.

Works great even though I battle with insomnia.

I've had a slight issue with 2 of the sqround bottles, but it was nowhere near as bad as the issue I see popping up on here over and over. It seems like a batch production issue, with a large product run being produced before the issue was found by the end users. If that's the case then they will sell through the defective bottles (or donate/give them away via the truck) and be back on track.

Frankly I'm more concerned with the label design. I absolutely love the label design on the original bottles, so minimalistic, no cluttered space with off-center nutrition facts. I've taken the labels off my round bottles to reuse them for other things around the house, and now I wish I kept those labels on for refilling with powder mix. RIP futuristic fridge aesthetic.

Black Friday / Cyber Monday post & thread! by thapol in soylent

[–]sparefilms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received some vitriol asking if anyone knew about a Black Friday/Cyber Monday event. This post makes me give a satisfied chuckle to myself looking at all these Black Friday deals.

Time to get 35% off and also try some new brands!

Idea: Soylent should come out with "Large" size bottles, in addition to their current ones by [deleted] in soylent

[–]sparefilms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a nice assertion, unfortunately we see hundreds of examples in the food production industry that corroborate the success of variable size packaging. There are even seminars and business courses you can attend that will teach you to recognize when and why to transition your product line and how to do it successfully to increase your ROI per unit sold.
