@Spaceman what are the chances you could mix up something fruity for summer, like blueberry or mango? Would love to try experimental flavors! By the way, @Spaceman and the other participants of the DIY-farmers-market started a campain to collect money…

Yeah I agree the peanut oil really overpower the taste doesn't it

Don't think anyone was angry... perhaps some people annoyed at him because he made himself look like a troll (I don't think he was trolling) understandably so... no one was "angry" at his personal experierence either, people were just "dumbfounded" by…

the "Soy" in Soylent is "Soy Lecithin" and it doesn't matter if Lecithin is GMO or not as that makes no difference in this "pure" compound... also I suggest you read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lecithin#Genetically_modified_crops_as_a_source_of_lecithin…

I recommend refrigeration or freezing for longer shelf life and freshness. Since it's hard to be certain that the seal hasn't been broken during shipping, it's better to be safe than to be consuming potentialy rancid oil.

melkins2, your efforts are for naught and are really quite silly. You're defending a troll. Perhaps, you're trolling, too. Who's to say anymore?

I just ordered a 1mo subscription, it says it should ship within 1-2 weeks. Then it says I will be billed again on the 10th of July which is exactly 28 days from now. I assume or at least hope that means that they ship on the day they bill which means…

@spaceman What say ye?

@mrcodehpr01 thanks man, appreciate it! That was great. Colbert was totally funny, and Rob was able to get a surprisingly large amount of information out in a short amount of time, well done.

Question for you Rob: Is the Soy that you use in Soylent NON GMO?

Wow some people have some damn anger issues on this forum. All he is trying to do is share his experience. Apparently he thought it was bad enough that he threw it away. Thanks for sharing. I'm sorry to see you lost some cash but you live and you learn.…

I would be more nervous if all this DNA actually got into our cells/cell cores... doesn't matter that it's roaming our blood lol

@rob You did good, Colbert can be hard to talkiing "over" since it's part of his persona, but it was obvious he wanted to give you good rep it did seem like you were trying to press too many words into too little a time frame, but I sitll love you <3

So they have finally proved the old common sense wisdom "You are what you eat".

Thanks @leecauble1 I bookmarked this and plan on making some! Also thanks @Vanclute for the video review. Any thoughts on changes to the recipe for the next batch? What do you think of doing making recipe without chocolate chips would it still be…

Have to agree with axcho on this... after some quick reading... there are actually people who are allergic to some of the ingredients in soylent... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanillin#Adverse_effects for an example...and this post http://www.livestrong.com/article/320733-problems-with-sucralose/…

What's this flagging bullshit? I'm an adult who's capable of drawing my own conclusions, if you don't like what he typed don't read it but don't keep others from doing so. That's fascism

I'll be having cookies & Soylent for breakfast in the morning... man what a way to start the day!!! Oh and maybe lunch. Oh yeah and dinner. MMMmmmmmm....

Thanks @leecauble1! That's awesome!

It wouldn't be unthinkable that people who placed orders after the cut off date would only be 6-8 weeks away from getting their Soylent now... and that if you order now, your simply in the back of the line and then thats 10-12 weeks in other words...…

Haha!! One of our boys does that to my arm all the time... he insists that it's the ideal spot for him to sleep, regardless of it being fairly attached to a keyboard/mouse. Tigger looks adorable and so huggable! Sure doesn't look like much of a "barn…

OK, here's the recipe straight from Soylent's very own resident mom... @leecauble1! =) http://tmblr.co/ZTa-pr1IT8jaf Soylent cookies - they are delicious!

Thanks for uploading it.. Rob starts at 15 min

Like NoFlames said, theres a small chance that new orders might get out earlier than 10-12 weeks... the fact is that they give that timeframe to avoid disapointment if they don't make it before whatever else they might have stated. Right now they are…

The CEO says he makes 10k+ a day and yet they can't hire proper support. You can setup your own call center at 3rd party call centers like Teleperformance, Convergys, Focus services etc. Or you could just hire people from home to do e-mails or respond…

Sucks he didn't have much time to explain his product :X He had like 1 min or something lol.

hopefully this colbert bump doesnt backfire because of their backlog. not many consumers like to pay for things and get them months later. especially food related things. it just doesnt sit well in their minds

Thanks for this. I only have netflix/hulu and didn't want to wait. Good segment. Rob did well. It helped that Steven didn't interrupt him as often as he usually does.

I use the method of 1/4 water, then full bag of S, top with water until the pitcher is around 3/4 full trying to minimize any dry powder on top. Close the lid, shake real good, add the oil and top with remaining water about 1/2 in below the colored cap…

Not bad at all Rob, not bad! You looked a little nervous and put on the spot... and exactly like what you are. A smart 25 year old "kid" suddenly thrust into the spotlight as the CEO of a multimillion dollar profitable company! LOL Kudos to everyone…

Your best option is to go here http://diy.soylent.me/recipes/people-chow-301-tortilla-perfection and order/make your own it's not hard at all. Or you can order from others on the forum as stated above.

Downloading it now, not gonna wait for it to air locally. =)

I think Soylent has a fair amount of easy to digest carbohydrates, so I wonder if the quantity that you drank was too much all at once which would especially be a concern for anyone that would be borderline diabetic. I tend to sip it over a much longer…

If your name is Michael and you ordered a week's worth of People Chow Plain on 6/2 then yes, your order is in there. Thanks for your support... and patience!

NoFlames said: maybe they will surprise us with a faster ramp up time. Haha, oh man, that's rich. Tons of new orders, and that's when they can suddenly fulfill them faster. I would sooner wager that they're going to extend the wait time for new orders…

Hooray! I placed my order through the marketplace on 6/2 so I'm guessing mine will be in there. I'm super excited to receive my first batch and try it out. Thank you guys so much for busting your buns on this.

I suspect this will go on for some time because reorders are given priority over new orders and so volume is climbing even as production increases. Eventually they should get more reasonable lead times, but nobody within the company is providing any guidance…

Back near the beginning of May when Soylent started shipping, it was said all over the place that new orders would ship in about 10-12 weeks. (So orders in May would be fulfilled in August.) Then two days ago, the official Soylent twitter again says new…

The only way to get it faster is on eBay from individuals selling. I think if you are really interested its best to get in the queue now, and maybe they will surprise us with a faster ramp up time.

b_ward said: If I ordered it right now would it really not get to me until October/November? Yes, seriously. A lot of people are pretty frustrated about this. All because they love and desire Soylent so much, of course. And I guess this is why people…

It's not on hulu yet but if you would like to download it or watch it I have it on my Google Drive! https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4Mpy0rN6LRNWFo2eWNUUzdYbWM/edit?usp=sharing

They have a serious backlog at the moment.And its US only btw.No international shipping yet.

Hi, I only heard about Soylent tonight on the Colbert Report. I've wondered for ages where something like this could be found. So my question is about ordering my own. The purchase link says new orders will ship in 10-12 weeks? Is that correct? Can someone…

Dices que la Lecitina de Soya la compraste en Farmacias Similares, pero como supiste cuanta Colina por porción te daba si no viene en la informacion nutrimental :/

"The Colbert " https://twitter.com/soylent/status/476952298288328705

Is this still an option?

Honestly yeah, it should simply make it like a "spoiler" that you could choose to "unhide" for yourself

Just a quick shipping update - @iEnvisionary will be taking all remaining orders to the post office tomorrow, and most should arrive by Saturday. Hopefully we'll be able to switch over to TNT (or resolve our USPS issues) after that!

It's the same stuff either way.

Not sure how I missed that, thanks.

Colbert said it: "it's delicious." Honestly, the only negative feedback I have for @rob is he mentioned the word "Vegan" which was ammo for Colbert. But overall, that was positive even if Colbert cracked jokes along the way. Good press, and I believe…

I just finished watching your interview. Really well done! I hope it is productive. Stephen seemed to actually like it... especially with bourbon.

That was great. Strangely tonight I picked a flavor for my Soylent that I had not previously tried. Hersey's chocolate syrup.

Seemed like Rob was a bit uneasy, but Stephen did a good job of keeping it fun. I laughed when he immediately went to the chocolate. I'm sure there will be lots of orders coming in tonight.

That went better than I anticipated. I'll provide links tomorrow evening if no one else beats me to it during the day.

Is this the almond milk from the cold case or from the cartons from the shelf in the cereal section?

Silent but deadly, or Soylent but deadly? Lol

It says consume within 2 days on the instructions. http://www.soylent.me/#prep

There's the Comedy Central app. All colbert and daily show episodes are viewable there the day after showing.

OK folks here is the link to the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies. Big thanks to @vanclute and the lovely Shannon and their house guest for being my taste tester. And no @gilahacker it did not take till early 2015. If you decide to try this please…

From what I have heard, and my own experiences with DIY, it lasts a while until you mix the oil in. Then it lasts less long.

I have kept it in a closed airtight pitcher in the fridge when not in use. I have heard between 2 and 3 days, but I am not sure. (Oil Included) Tomorrow will be going on day 3. (Too many social meals slowing my consumption) I apologize if this has been…

Yup. I no longer start drooling when smelling a burger. Still feel like it'd be a nice to have though.

For me, the smell has died down, and the gas has passed. But it's taken 3 weeks to get here. There is still the definite smell of eggs. But it will no longer will clear a room, and is no longer of strategic value. And it's quite easy to excuse oneself…

If the below picture is right, the chocolate flavor seems to contain too much manganese (103% per one meal) I'd be cautious.Here's a link to WebMD article about manganese: link.

I'm hopeful I'll be okay. I've been doing DIY for three weeks now and have been slowly upping the fiber content. I've got a fair amount of oat flour and chia seeds in it (though I am using Whey protein not rice, so the smell might end up different) now…

@soylenter compared to some others who have posted here, thanks for being not so negative. Rosa Labs is a startup who does not specialize in logistics, some issues are to be expected. I invested in this company over a year ago and I am grateful to see…

I hate Discourse. Sure, it is flagged and hidden, but I still want to see it. Clearly he is a troll, but I am curious.

From my own experience and what I have heard, you need to be well-hydrated on Soylent, DIY or not. Soylent has a proper balance of nutrients, and both potassium and sodium demand that you consume plenty of water. Your body can easily eliminate excess…

Interesting you brought this up, as despite having been doing DIY off and on for a year now, I recently struggled with this myself. Specifically, how do I accurately and quickly measure multiple weeks of DIY at a time? Get yourself a decent digital scale.…

While waiting for my Solyent 1.0 to come, I started looking more into DIY soylent market, and then out of curiosity, I typed "soylent" in amazon. Two meal replacement products came up on my search, both organic and raw. One is Garden of Life RAW Meal.…

Here you go, measures from .01g to 500g.

There are a few things to keep in mind here. Colbert has been known to interview people one way, then have his people edit the hell out of the interview to make people look like fools even if that is not the impression the interviewee had during the…

Yup, no problems here.

I have no idea why, but it reminds me of Homer:

So jealous...

too much information (imo)

It's being a pest and won't play well on my phone at the moment, but I believe... This is the presentation @vanclute referred too, given by @rob on 2/26 during the 2014 Launch Festival. This is a long video, the Soylent presentation begins at about…

Hi There, I have decided to go with a diy.solylent for 30 days as the real soylent is taking too long to get here. I have chosen this one due to all the comments, Knowledgeable creator, and because I'm from NY. My primary Goal for doing this is weight…

Hello,I'm considering trying DIY soylent, but the recipes look a bit tricky to reproduce exactly.Specifically, how in the world do I measure out exactly 2.6 grams of potassium chloride?

Has anyone else NOT experienced gas? I feel left out. I wanted to terrorize my family with the Soylent gas, instead i got nothing...
