"Food 2.0"

Food tastes better than Soylent.

Jessa Gamble, How Healthy is Soylent? - The Atlantic

An ad for Soylent Drink appeared on my Twitter™ feed this morning, and I confess that my mouth hung open in surprise for a moment.  Was this a spoof?  Part of a subversive marketing campaign for a movie remake?

As far as I can tell, they're completely serious - there's nothing in their FAQ to indicate that they're aware of the dystopian 1973 Charlton Heston film, there's a very earnest Wikipedia™ entry regarding the creation and development of the product, and its relative benefits as a food alternative are the topic of unsmiling discussion in the media.

On the other hand, I see that they don't offer it in green.

The Doctor Who breakfast draw is now closed.  Finger crossing ensues.

Fallout 4: You had to be there.

Well, yes, this is in fact a picture of my Fallout 4 character standing beside a pile of dead people in their underwear.  And well, yes, yes again, I killed them in the game, and, yes, I took their clothing and then I stacked up all the bodies.  But really, you have to understand how the game works...

 

Okay, I got nothing, it's weird. But, honestly, it made sense at the time.
