Today, I drank the last of my supply of Soylent. Boy, what a gritty, nasty experience Soylent has been. Knowing what I now know, if I were given a choice between fasting or drinking Soylent, I'd choose fasting. Maybe chocolate-flavored Soylent is OK, but I'm in no hurry to find out. What I had was, I think, the only flavor available in 2017, romantically named "cereal milk"-flavored Soylent. Appetizing, right? I had originally bought it, thinking to take it with me on my long walk back in 2017, when I knew little to nothing of what a long walk would entail. I've evolved way beyond that version of me since.
Add to that the fact that my Soylent has gotten old. As I said, I got it in 2017, so it's now well past its sell-by date. Stale, gritty, and definitely tasting like cereal milk, the Soylent had to go, so I've been drinking it in lieu of SlimFast on weekdays in an effort to get rid of it faster. Why not just throw it away? Don't waste, the voice of my mom says. That's why. I bet you have a similar voice in your head. No doubt the Soylent still had nutritive value, however stale it might have gotten. Anyway, it's gone, now, and I'll never buy Soylent again.
Good riddance.
