The labeling now more accurately reflects observed usage patterns.
Sort of the opposite tactic of most companies who try to squeeze serving sizes to meet certain nutritional milestones despite having no basis in real-life usage of the product. I'm looking at you Pop-Tarts! No body eats one tart at a time.
- bufordsharkley 12y agoTwo Pop-Tarts at once? I've never done that. ...But then again, I don't eat an awful lot, and that's why I was originally interested in the "revised serving size"-- I'm wondering what other Soylent drinkers do if their caloric input is usually (far) less than 2000 cal/day.
- elmin 12y agoThe packages inside the box each contain two tarts, somewhat suggesting that's how they expect them to be eaten.
- lfowles 12y agoWouldn't want one of them to go stale.
- angersock 12y agoPut peanut butter between them after toasting them. Tastiest thing in the world. And dip it in milk or chocolate syrup.
- justzisguyuknow 12y agoBut don't forget to wrap it in bacon and deep fry it too.
- ambrice 12y agoI think most soylent drinkers don't do it 100%. I drink it for breakfast and lunch, and do dinner with the family. So for me I do four servings over two days. I think they're finding that this a common pattern and updating the packaging to reflect it.
- alexqgb 12y agoThat's my pattern exactly, which I settled into very quickly. From what I understand from others, they had the same experience.
- goodJobWalrus 12y agoOr 1/3 of a muffin as a serving. Ridiculous, but a lot of people probably fall for it. It's mostly North American thing tho. In Europe, you usually get calories per 100 grams, so you can compare different foods to each other as well.
