👤 Martijn Soylent launches version "2.0", now in ready-made bottles. Don't think I like it. Not only did the price increase with ~50C//400kcal, you now have to drink 5 bottles rather than prepare a single pouch. Not that it really matters, it will not start shipping before October and still only available in the U.S. and Canada. Why they do not work on getting the supply chain established boggles my mind.

👤 Asko Anything with Soy in it, I don't touch.

👤 Martijn The old Soylent didn't include soy at all, it was on a rice and oats basis.

👤 Eric Thought this new stuff was made from mold? I only read the headline though, not much interest in the product.

👤 Mark Dain That's something I liked about old Soylent; it basically worked for everyone. Are some people allergic to Soy? I really don't like the trend towards having Soylent be incompatible with some people.

👤 Mark Dain Ready to drink bottles is kinda cool but I've found they go off very very quickly. I made a bottle and left it maybe 24 hours in my bag by mistake, next day it was clearly undrinkable. They haven't added preservatives have they?

👤 Martijn Indeed, I have read the shelf-life of prepared Soylent sucks. But they are actually claiming these bottles to stay fresh for a year, and according to the original inventor's blog you do not need to store it refrigerated either. Will be interesting to see how true that is once they start shipping.

👤 Mark Dain Well that's very interesting then. I can't see how they've done that without adding preservatives and such. But yeah I'm kinda annoyed they aren't shipping to the EU yet. They're missing a huge market which can't be due to legal reasons as they could just make it in the EU like Joylent does. Heck they could acquire Joylent!

👤 Martijn I just bumped into this and thought I'd share. You can lengthen preservation times without preservatives through aseptic processing, which is what Soylent (apparently) is doing: en.wikipedia.org/w...
