Both pics look really heavily edited. I kinda expect some editing, but they went too far.

That said, glad to see they have gone into caffeinated foods. Caffeine addiction should help them keep customers better. However, a 7-11 partnership is not as good, as 7-11 is pretty 'down market' for a 'high-tech' seeming brand.

If you look around the edges of his fingers on the left, it appears the bag of soylent was edited into a photo of him holding something else.

In the narrow gaps between the fingers on the right, you would also expect his fingers to cast shadows.

Indeed, it seems to be a Photoshopped, color corrected version of the picture from this 2016 article:

Looks like it was just an older bag of soylent. http://www.irishtimes.com/polopoly_fs/1.2729676.1469108251!/...
