I've not used Soylent, but I definitely would. All that's put me off in the past is the need to order large quantities of it before even knowing if I'll like it, and a big waiting list to even get it in the first place.
Seems like a lot of hassle and since the attraction of Soylent for me is precisely to avoid hassle and nothing intrinsic, I'm putting off trying it until they work this out (if that's not already happened, haven't checked recently).
Anyway, the appeal for me is summed up really well by this marketing quote, in the article:
> “During a typical week there’s several meals I eat alone in front of the TV, weekday dinners mostly. Those were usually fast food, or frozen or canned. So I thought Soylent would be faster, easier, and healthier than what I had been doing before."
That absolutely nails the appeal for me. I love food, I even enjoy cooking nice things occasionally. However, the the routine of cooking something quick and boring for only myself on just an average Tuesday evening, coupled with all the faff around planning, buying ingredients, taking things out of the freezer at the right times, cleaning up, etc, just to sustain myself in a healthy way, is something I'd love to substitute away with something like Soylent and spend that time doing things I enjoy more.
I've been doing Soylent for a month. I had the idea on a Saturday, placed my order and Tuesday morning I had 14 days worth of powder delivered, in Canada.
After 1 week of eating it, I was happy and subscribed for 28 bags a month. My wife likes it too, it's convenient when she doesn't have time to cook and wants something filling and healthy.
