    Did anyone get in on this? This product is very appealing to me since it will save time from food preparation and so forth.

    The campaign has pulled in over a million dollars as of now.

    Any other thoughts?

    I thought it was supposed to be green.

    meh. I'll wait to see what the nutrition contents are, but I'd never replace all my meals with drinks. I actually like and enjoy food, even healthy.

    Possibly, considering the video didn't say anything at all about what exactly goes into this stuff. Unless I missed it? The more I think about it, I can't believe they got that much funding from such a vague video... lazy ass people always looking for that quick fix diet product. How is this any different from Myoplex or Met-Rx which has been out for over a decade, other than the fact that this product seems to be marketed by/for hipsters?

    I love how in the reviews, one comment is on how it has little to no flavor, and then the next talks about how the flavor is delicious.

    I'd want to see the ingredients before committing.



    But wait, don't they use this stuff in hospitals already, on people that can't feed themselves? It's called TPN, right? Can I inject this stuff and save my mouth the work?


    No offense to the OP, I find this very interesting, but it reminds me of the opposite of Brawndo:

    (Sorry this isn't from the actual movie. Found it funny, though. The movie clips on youtube are not good quality.)

    Found some interesting articles about this product... first one isn't scientific, but the second (longer) one has cited sources.
