Tons of people grab breakfast or lunch "on the go". It's not just workaholics. And for the 20 minutes some people get to talk over lunch, soylent would work just as well as a tub of yogurt and an apple.

Speaking of the tech bubble, how come no one has mentioned products like this [0] which have been around for decades?

I have a gastrointestinal condition and had to eat exactly that for a while. The main problem is the taste is not so good, it has no texture, it's boring and there is no variety. It doesn't feel like eating. After a month of drinking that stuff for meals I almost wanted to break down and cry.

It doesn't sound much different from Solyent. I doubt it will solve any of those problems long term.
