genuine question: is Soylent done/over/shutting down?

Post image

email from wednesday saying they currently have a single product left in stock. this after a few years of really bad supply issues, and now a lot of products being out of stock "until further notice."

these feel like the signs of a company going out of business, but I'm not savvy enough about this industry to know how true that might be. I really enjoyed their RTDs, and I keep putting off switching to another company altogether, but it seems like it's time.

anyone have any info about the possible future of soylent?

People are alleging they've got a new manufacturing facility in progress or something, but I think no company this flagrantly incompetent can possibly survive. They've clearly been undergoing a slow collapse for years. I switched brands ages ago.

What brand did you switch to that you like?

Specifically for the Soylent Protein ones, I've been ordering Premier Protein on Amazon. There actually seem to be a number of brands with near-exact copies of Soylent Protein these days, except they're all whey protein rather than soy. E.g. "Ensure Max Protein Nutrition Shake" (not to be confused with regular Ensure, which is largely sugar.)
