Trying Soylent didn’t go well

We are trying to launch a similar product here in my country. The negative publicity that Soylent has generated for itself, hasn't helped our nerves one bit as we come closer to the launch.

Unlike US, Bars and drinks are not in fashion here. We have decided to launch in form of Lollipops. Our team is having a hard time coming up with a motto, but we'll get over it.

Any advice from the wise HN folks on how to handle the first batches of users ( we'll be giving out the first few hundred lollipops for free on condition that users click a selfie with the lollipop every day and tag us on FB/Twitter ), in case things go wrong!!

How does a meal-replacement lollipop work? How many calories does each lollipop contain?

Well ... you'll be amazed at the R&D we did to make it work. It took us almost five years to get to where we are today.

We'll be releasing detailed documentation of the manufacturing process/In-Lab testing. Our team wanted to open-source the whole design, but we're not there yet. Maybe in a few month's time after the launch.

This is a troll, right? The url in your profile doesn't even resolve.

Sorry, but that is not the name, will update my profile.

We came up with that codename once Soylent started on Kickstarter, but that's only a kind of inhouse joke.
