A comment on Soylent halts sales of its powder as customers keep getting sick. Parent comment
- initially announced on a blog in 2013
- crowdfunded on Tilt, raising over $3M
- got funding from a16z
Due to that it's got a lot of cachet. Also, the idea of a meal replacement is more in line with life/body hacking.
Slimfast goes back to 1987 and is marketed as a diet and weight loss product. One could consider it more "old tech".
This is just my very fallible perception, and I don't intend any judgement on either.
