Speaking of "Soylent Green"

I just happened to be watching a business report, as the ticker popped up a message: "Soylent suspends production."
I thought it was a bad joke. 
Nope. 
There really is a Soylent Company and even scarier, it makes a "a powder-based drink that can replace your entire diet".
Unsurprisingly, people were having trouble ingesting the Soylent products, it has stopped production of its all-in-one food replacement powder.

The company is now concerned about "-- repairing the inevitable damage to its brand."
This is nuts! Didn't anyone at this company ever watch famous movie "Soylent Green" from 1973?
Nothing turned out well and "Soylent Green is People" is not a positive marketing slogan. m/r

Soylent stops powder sales after making some people sick

It hopes to ship a new, less vomit-inducing version in Q1 2017.

Crafting a powder-based drink that can replace your entire diet, it turns out, is pretty darn difficult. Following a total recall of its food bars, Soylent has slammed the brakes on its flagship powder product too. The company says "a handful" of customers, or less than 0.1 percent, have experienced "stomach-related symptoms" similar to the ones reported by its snack bar users. (Those, if you need a reminder, include vomiting, diarrhoea and severe stomach pain.) Soylent is still looking for the root of the problem. Its previous powder formula, 1.5, appeared to be fine, so the company is narrowing its search to the ingredients specific to 1.6 and the bars.

"We are going to continue to look into this further and share our findings with the FDA so that they can do their own evaluation," the company said.
