Sweet! Thanks (crossing my fingers :] )

Sorry about the confusion! This was for your 1-month subscription order. We will be getting to your backer order before that and then your subscription order will be issued 1 to 2 weeks later as a reorder, so this actually might not be 4-6 additional…

I just meant the amount didn't matter since non-backers will be taken care of by order date, not size. I feel you though, I've been tempted every day to buy some off eBay at the 300% markup. I bet these emails have little to nothing to do with the…

There are about 6 scoops of Soylent per pouch (depending on settling, etc). 1 scoop Soylent, 2 scoops water, 1.5 teaspoons oil, (total of ~14 oz) is the recommended ratio, but you can play around depending on how thick/thin you like it.

I was on DIY Soylent last year and official Soylent since April 30th. Folks at my job were curious, grossed out (really? yeah) and, I suspect, defensive based on their mockery. Yesterday (finally!) I got two people to try it. And guess what? One of them…

Does your DIY recipe have how much water is used in the notes tab at the top?
j8048188 - Aug 28, 2014 9:53pm
Your subscription account is not created when you originally backed. You just need to sign up with the same email you used to back Soylent, and it they will add you to the fast-track shipping queue for reorders.
JoeGarden - Aug 28, 2014 9:09pm
After they fulfill all the backer orders, they'll probably work on marketing. As far as flavoring, and stuff like that, I really hope they don't. What makes soylent so good is it's simplicity.The only thing that needs to be fixed is the aftertaste of…
xeromist - Aug 28, 2014 9:05pm
Interesting question. I'm not sure if you'll get an answer since I haven't seen Quid post in a while. Even if it's not zero it's definitely significantly less since it is formed in quantity during the roasting process.

How much is 1/5th of a Soylent bag? Does anyone know? I remember the scoop that came with my starter kit, but it didn't have any measuring labels on it. I am wondering if I should be bringing with something around a 1/3rd cup scoop, 1/2 cup, etc...…

Normally I mix 1.6L of water with a pouch of Soylent to get to 2L finished product. So I would guess you would want to add 1.6/5L or about .32L which is about 10oz of water. So mix 1/5 bag of Soylent with about 10-11oz of water to get the right mix.…

Yes, if you used to large portions - first time you may feel hungry (mental inertia). I noticed it for myself and had similar reports from customers. Your brain and body need around 3 days to adjust.

We calculated group order for France customers and found shipment cost very attractive. How very? - almost similar to US costs... How many people needed? - 3-4 person to one address with One month order each will be enough.

asympt - Aug 28, 2014 4:46pm
Yep--the oil conveniently comes in bottles smaller than the TSA 3-oz. max, so you can bring as many as you can put in a quart-size ziploc baggie (along with any other liquids you're carrying on).
