I Tried Soylent. It Didn’t Go Well. The Everywhereist. Last week, I decided to try Soylent.

For those unfamiliar with this “food” product, Soylent is a high- protein drink designed to appeal to lifehackers, dieters, and doomsday cult members who are maybe a little shy and don’t want to come out of their bunker for communal meals. It has an incredibly long shelf- life, and provides you nutrition without all the pesky side- effects that food usually has, like chewing, tasting like something, and being an excuse for human interaction. As a bonus, it also apparently gives you raging diarrhea, but I’m getting ahead of myself. Because I’m a blogger, and continually told that my life has relatively little value, my body becomes fair game for “creating content”.

In the past I’ve tried Paleo, quit sugar for a month, and engaged in a series of workouts designed for double- jointed 1. Lululemon’s headquarters. The point is, since I’m a woman who writes things on the internet, I’m continually told by trolls to “Drink bleach and die.” So I thought, Why don’t I drink something that is marginally better than bleach and instead of dying, I’ll write about it?

We have all been robbed of one Snooty, the beautiful, beloved 69-year-old manatee believed to be not only the world’s oldest manatee living in captivity, but the.

Thanks for the idea, trolls! I hope you take a moment from your non- stop rage masturbation to reflect on how much I appreciate you.–So … What IS It, Anyway? It’s a drinkable meal replacement created by computer developers with absolutely zero background in nutrition or culinary sciences. According to the company’s own website, this was the moment of inspiration that led the founders to create Soylent: Living off a diet of frozen corn dogs and ramen, they grew frustrated with the effort and cost associated with purchasing, preparing, and consuming food that was neither healthy nor enjoyable. Now, you can understand why I was slightly concerned about ingesting something developed by guys who felt that the prep work for corn dogs and ramen was too much for them. Also, please explain to me how much time and effort is possibly spent purchasing those food items.

Last week, I decided to try Soylent.For those unfamiliar with this "food" product, Soylent is a high-protein drink designed to appeal to lifehackers, dieters, and.

You can literally buy them at a gas station. Let me be clear: my body is not a temple. Today I’ve consumed a spoonful of raw cookie dough, and two slices of blueberry pie. At the time of me writing this, it is 9: 5. My eating habits roughly resemble those of someone who is high, because I am, in fact, often high.

But all of it was homemade and goddamn delicious. The point is, I derive a lot of joy from food because I’m not a sociopath. Soylent takes its name from a 1. Charlton Heston (the website maintains they actually got the idea from the book on which the film is based. Sure, guys. Sure.) In the movie, there’s a massive food shortage, and Soylent is the food replacement that everyone eats, and the most popular flavor is Soylent Green, which Heston’s character discovers is actually made from human flesh. I’m going to repeat that, in case that paragraph was so batshit crazy that your brain rejected it. The inventors saw a movie in which people are unknowingly eating processed food that is made from humans and they thought “WE SHOULD NAME OUR PROCESSED FOOD AFTER THAT.”Are we all on the same page of this ludicrous book titled Oh My God, What is Happening?

Great. The Experiment. I decided to replace two meals a day with Soylent every day for a week. That’s fourteen bottles. It did not end well. It didn’t even begin well. Soylent comes in a variety of flavors with ambiguous, litigation- safe names like “nectar” and “cacao.” There’s a caffeinated variant, if you want to avoid a high- maintenance lifestyle that requires you to drink coffee. Or, for you DIYers, you can buy Soylent in a powdered form, in case you like your Soy Protein Isolate Meal Replacements to have a more “homemade” touch.

I ordered a 1. 2- pack from the Internet, and a few days later it arrived on my doorstep. The box said that I didn’t need to refrigerate Soylent, and that pregnant women should consult a doctor before drinking it, and you shouldn’t have arguments with your spouse within earshot of the package because it will anger the Soylents inside. Also, you are cautioned not to drink too much of the stuff. No, really. The actual label of the product tells you to maybe not drink it. Watch Poultrygeist: Night Of The Chicken Dead Youtube. I was somewhat concerned because now even Soylent itself was like, “Hey maybe this is a bad idea.”I mean, I can eat an entire bag of Fritos and at no point does the packaging say, “Whoa. Maybe slow down and consider some carrot sticks.”I took a look at the ingredients and it was basically a list of characters from The Hunger Games.

Copper Gluconate. Manganese Sulfate. Pyridoxine Hydrochloride. Mmm, oat fiber. Never one to pass up an opportunity to drink canola oil mixed with rice starch, I started the project.—————Day 1. I take my first sip. Soylent tastes like milk left over in Lucky Charms, minus the sweetness.

It’s thick; like swallowing cold pancake batter – and has a vaguely oaty taste to it.–9: 4. Holy crap this bottle is huge. Current mood: 9: 5.

You know, it isn’t that bad. I could do this for a week. Finish bottle. 10: 0.

Run to bathroom. 1. This is probably just my body releasing toxins or something.

Lots of toxins. 1. Oh my god, so many toxins. Okay, just did some research online and apparently Soylent doesn’t relieve you of toxins and the thing that I’m actually experiencing is what is commonly known as “explosive diarrhea.”1. I think it’s over. Nope. 1: 0. 4 pm: I live in the toilet now. Help me. 2: 1. 0pm: 2: 1.

There is absolutely no way I’m drinking another Soylent today. I have a raging migraine, which I think is maybe an improvement?

Internet search history includes: “Soylent side- effects extreme flatulence” “Can Soylent kill you” “Soylent diarrhea help” “Jeff Goldblum shirtless”–Summary: Bottles consumed: 1. Emotional state: –—————–Day 2.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha, yeah right like I’m going to drink another Soylent today. I have to meet with a mortgage broker. –Summary: Bottles consumed: 0. Emotional state: So, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, and I’m wondering if maybe humans have been eating real food since they started existing for a reason? And if maybe two guys with zero background in nutrition, the culinary arts, or food technology should not be designing indigestible science projects?

I don’t know, just spitballin’ here.–—————–Day 3. No, screw you, I’m eating nachos.–Summary: Bottles consumed: 0. Emotional state: Intense anxiety at the prospect of having to consume another bottle of Soylent. At this point in the experiment my husband intervened and pointed out that I wasn’t so much “drinking Soylent for a week” as I was “drinking a single bottle of Soylent and blaming it for three days of subsequent farting.”Day 4.

I am cowering from the fridge, which has historically been one of my best friends. I open up the second Soylent of my life. Peeling back the wrapper, I am reminded of Pandora opening her box.

The box, in this instance, is my poop hole. Everything is fine. EVERYTHING IS NOT FINE. My intestines are just a shaken bottle of soda at this point. I sit and watch my husband eat a bagel.

I have never hated him more than I do at this precise moment. Soylent isn’t made of people. It’s made of resentment and broken promises. I think he knew that I was planning to kill him.

I finished the bottle. It took me an hour and it was mostly unpleasant, so it’s basically like the first few times I had sex except it took 5. I have not pooped and it feels like a triumph.

Ask husband if I have to open up another Soylent. Him, with a pitying look on his face. I think so? For, like, science or whatever the hell it is you’re doing?”2: 2. Open up my second Soylent of the day. Life is meaningless. I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT MUSCLES I’M CLENCHING3: 0.

Oh, good, it’s taken me so long to drink this thing that it’s now room temperature. Cadillac Records Full Movie Part 1. I’m basically engaging in a game of chicken with my sphincter at this point. After a evening spent eating actual food, I find myself doubled over with cramps.

There he played both basketball and baseball for the school, and it was there too where he changed his name.

Since childhood Connors had disliked his first name Kevin, and he had sought another one. He tried using "Lefty" and "Stretch" before finally settling on "Chuck".[3] The name derived from his time as a player on Seton Hall's baseball team. He would repeatedly yell to the pitcher from his position on first base, "Chuck it to me, baby, chuck it to me!" The rest of his teammates and spectators at the university's games soon caught on, and the nickname stuck.[4]Connors, though, left Seton Hall after two years to accept a contract to play professional baseball with the New York Yankees.[4] That opportunity lasted only one season, for he joined the United States Army following America's entrance into World War II.

TV Guide that the producers of Four Star Television (Dick Powell, Charles Boyer, Ida Lupino and David Niven) must have been looking at 4. At the time, the producers offered a certain amount of money to do 3. The offer turned out to be less than Connors was making doing freelance acting, so he turned it down.

A few days later, the producers of The Rifleman took their own children to watch Old Yeller in which Connors played a strong father figure. After the producers watched him in the movie, they decided they should cast Connors in the role of Lucas Mc. Cain and make him a better offer, including a five- percent ownership of the show. The Rifleman was an immediate hit, ranking No. Nielsen ratings in 1. Westerns – Gunsmoke, Wagon Train, and Have Gun – Will Travel.
