The scientific consensus has been settled, your pseudoscience conspiracy theories have been debunked.

Now, consume product and get excited for next product.
It’s good for Blackrock and the stock market.

"Soylent green is people." Detective Thorn, Soylent Green, 1973.

At least it’s not green.

It's peeeeople

So, "Soylent Green" is now a reality?

Ha, I'll wait for the low fat version.

I hear the green is particularly tasty.

Ads for this product have been running on Facebook for months, for most of that time I thought it was a joke. A pretty stupid joke IMO, but I guess the joke's on me, apparently this is real.

Good movie.

I agree you have to be an idiot for that 50-year leap of logic to bother you.

The name "Soylent" was deliberately chosen by the inventor because of its association with the book and movie. People can debate whether it was a good or bad choice, but it wasn't an unthinking one.

One of the more unfortunate product names ever was the Chevy Nova, at least in terms of the Mexican auto market. Nova is Spanish slang for "no go." The car didn't sell well in Mexico & other Spanish-speaking countries - a well-known story, sorry to bore readers who may have heard it before.

I know it will ruin the joke, but someone please explain this to me!

Once had a Nova, it certainly went!

Donald Sutherland was the perfect creepster for that part

Why on earth would anyone ever name a consumable "Soylent". Incredible. Unless its actually.......

Watched Soylent Green with my youngest child (daughter, 15) just recently. She was oddly enough extremely entertained by this movie and the ending had her mouth agape.

Things I don’t get…

Annual prostate exams
AARP direct mail
A social security check

We baby-boomers sometimes need to be reminded that we have become the old farts. These kids who are now adults never heard of some popular phrases that we have long ago forgotten. Soylent Green jogs the memory of this old fart.

9:03 Short version is that in the dystopian future there is a shortage of food, and the Soylent Co. sells a food product called Soylent Green that the hero of the movie discovers is made from dead humans. The movie stars Charlton Heston and Edward G. Robinson, in his last role.

Well 11:50 just remember that with age comes wisdom.

Soylent has been around for nearly a decade now. It is literally where the “soyboy” meme originated after the bernie bro crowd needed a special device to open the bottles. They were posting pictures on reddit and claiming that it was too hard to open the twist cap.

3:21 : If the humans are food then it's a given that they are dead. Just sayin.

I think it was a solution to the homeless crisis, right? They were initially rounding up living people. But after eliminating homelessness, they may have turned to processing dead bodies of the elderly. Also, women were furniture? It's been a while.

I’ll wait for the vegan version….

@7:59
Not all women were furniture. The luxury condo where Heston investigated the murder, had some beautiful women who would be “included with the place” if you chose them. They called those specific women furniture.
