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

        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.

            They have a lot of flavors that were amazing but they discontinued them for some reason:

            Cafe chai

            Cafe Vanilla

            Nectar (I personally liked it and heard a lot of other people liked it too, but more people didn’t like it so it was discontinued, it tasted like the milk you get when you’re done with the bowl of Fruity Pebbles cereal)

            Coffiest (for people who like coffee it was great, I don’t like coffee, but this was their first caffeinated variety which was great)

            Original (not sure if they still make it but that was my favorite for a long time because it didn’t trigger my taste bud receptors therefore it didn’t make me crave sugar)

            Banana

            Strawberry (Maybe it still exists, I don’t know)
