It has quite a bit of sugar. Just go back and read the many articles that have been written by both the founders and the press.
- JDGM 13y agoThanks. I've just done a google and the only person I can find describing Soylent as 'delicious' in the first few hits is Rob himself, who even says "I'm not trying to make something delicious; there are already a lot of delicious things" - that's defending Soylent's taste in this Gawker article http://gawker.com/we-drank-soylent-the-weird-food-of-the-future-510293401 http://gawker.com/we-drank-soylent-the-weird-food-of-the-fut.... The piece contains the following: "Soylent tastes like the homemade nontoxic Play-Doh you made, and sometimes ate, as a kid. Slightly sweet and earthy with a strong yeasty aftertaste." "It tasted like when you're baking and you taste the ingredients even if there's not sugar or vanilla in there, you just have a compulsion to taste wet food." "My mouth tastes hot and like old cheese." "It tasted like someone wrung out a dishtowel into a glass." As a health food Soylent had my curiosity. As a 'delicious' food it has my attention. However, that attention appears to have been misallocated.
