If you live in SF, I have 8 pouches of Soylent powder dated 01/17 and 2 dated 04/16.  
Total of 10 unopened pouches.

I live near City Hall and could met you there, or the Main Library, or Twitter HQ, or the Civic Center BART Station.

I tried Soylent and it’s OK, but like so much I failed at making it work. So if you had wanted to try this or are using it, you can get some for free!  
I can’t afford to pay for shipping, so it’s just for SF Dopers, on a first come bases.  
Sorry

Send me a PM if interested.

What on earth?

Are you sure that Soylent is doper-free?

Was it the brown soylent or the green acid we were not supposed to do?

It was the **GREEN** soylent you aren’t suppose to use.

It’s people!

It’s a joke. Apparently not a good one, but a joke all the same.

I thought so but wasn’t sure. 🙂

ETA: I’m a bit out of it anyway.

Read the thread title. It doesn’t contain San Francisco Dopers.

ETA: Daly City Dopers, maybe. Or perhaps some from Vallejo or Newark.

How could you fail at making it work? All you have to do is drink it.

No, no, no, only the finest dopers from Colma are used in my Soylent.😉

**Hedda Rosa** is the only one to express an interest. As soon as we coordinate the hand off, I will ask for this thread to be closed.

Remember Hedda, the phrase is “The Seagull Dines at Midnight.”😃

I am amazed beyond words that someone would create a product and name it Soylent.

That’s right up there with that web design (?) product called Cold Fusion.

What next? An SUV called the Mercedes Hindenburg? A jam called Dog Vomit?
