It is the year of our lord 2024, and we are approximately 41% of the way towards owning nothing and being happy. Many of our benefactors have gone ahead and started with the incorporation of bugs and other protein rich ingredients in our daily use products. The latest pioneer into this new frontier appears to be Soylent, proudly coming out with their new Insect line of soy based meal replacements.

I am your trustworthy tengu reporter Aya Shameimaru here to give you the most TRUTHFUL and RELIABLE news on the activities of the Outside World.

One Redditor seems to be distressed over the discovery of savory seasoning in his Soylent drink!

Recent order of pumpkin spice I found what looks like dead bugs under the outer wrapping. The inner seal looks intact but I'm not sure I want to risk drinking them. Anyone else experience this? Wondering if I should request a refund for this order

Users of /r/soylent respond:

That looks to me like a small over fill that led to leakage. Not bugs

The small over fill in question:

More protein? Kk thats gross. Sorry op. Hope you get a refund. I'm never buying soylent again.

Bugs are good for you, have you tried taking a workshop on Media Literacy?

Was this ordered from directly Soylent? So gross

Yes direct from their online store, not Amazon or Walmart...

Did you report this to the FDA yet? Otherwise someone else can, because this is a serious probably for a lot of us who live on Soylent

I LIVE ON SOY!!! OH MY SCIENCE I AM OUTRAGED!!!

And with their recent supply issues in Canada... I am losing any remaining trust I have in Soylent.

Poor Leafs can't get a break. First they have to be Canadian, now they have to deal with trust issues!

This isn't the only instance of this I've found. I've done some investigation into other incidents like this one.

Is there anyone in the Outside World who can solve this incident?

Ordered a box of 12 Cafe Chai through Amazon, and received this. The box appeared to be water damaged, as well. Buyer beware.

Edit: According to /r/whatisthisbug, these are dead, desiccated maggots. Fun!

When I ordered my first box of Soylent 4 years ago it had a cricket in it.

Take some pics of any serial number of batch ID that you can get and email to Soylent and ask for a replacement. Also, throw the box, it's not worth the risk. Soylent will replace it for you quickly enough. They did for mine.

Edit: Obviously I ate the cricket for extra protein once I grilled it to get rid of any contaminants.

Free grilled crickets! Yahoo!

Found this in the box of 1.8 I just opened. Haven't opened the bags yet but gross.

Better check with the landlord and see if they allow pets.

looks like you got the extra protein pack

There is always an upside to a happy little accident!

Also here's a freak who sees it as a feature instead of a bug !carlos

https://old.reddit.com/r/soylent/comments/6bgnnn/soylent_powder_with_insect_protein/

Hi guys! I have seen that a lot of people have done their own DIY formulas for Soylent or Huel, and I have a doubt... would be possible to make it with cricket powder protein? Since is an animal based protein, it would have the aminoacids and the protein itself is cheaper than whey or vegetable based protein. What are your thoughts on this?

Crickets sound like a safe and sensible alternative to reduce both your carbon footprint and quality of life. What a steal!

I experimented with that and wrote about it here: The Case for Crickets :p

That was an interesting and informative read! Cricket drinks though... I don't think I could do it. I'm impressed you drank a whole cup of it for the sake of science (and business)!

Trust the science!!!

RL has enough difficulty getting regular people to buy their product without adding bugs to it

Ultimately, you should be mindful of the things you put in your body. If you want to be a good reporter like me, I recommend eating only the best mochi and sake provided by the lovely people of Gensokyo.

Until next time!

but really this is the most vile thing i've seen in a while. if you're reading this DM me so we can meet up and i'll give you a rimjob

I had always assumed that transferring spaghetti from pot to a frying pan to apply sauce was unnecessary step. I'm just going to make it all in one pot! I don't need no pan. Well... today as a lark I did it. I even saved some of the water and mixed that in (before I would replicate this by simply retaining some in pot when I drained it ). It was soooo much better. The sauce was creamier! It stuck to the noodles more! It tasted betterer!!! I just didn't know! Okay! I didn't fricking know!!!!!! I SHOULD HAVE LISTENED!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The hand-washing is what gives these dishes the flavor. Not one video goes by without them inserting their hand in the mix, LMAO.pic.twitter.com/Yt9ctH7LUm

!coolcobras That's not most definitely what's up

Also speculate on whether a tooth falls out into this McRib food hack I don't think it does, tbqh.

The core barely taste like Cola, as the matter of fact there are barely any taste at all!

There's a faint smell of SOMETHING, but it smells more like fricking washing water.

WHAT A FRICKING SCAM.

DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Wife got sick, so I had to take over Christmas dinner. I haven't done duck in a min so I'm sure it's overcooked but I'm happy with the crispy skin.

• Roast duck (glazed)

• Potatoes au gratin

• Roast baby potatoes

• Roast garlic broccoli

• Blanched broccoli

• Maple carrots

• Rolls (not from scratch)

Merry Christmas again straggots!

Shockingly legit bundt cake, one of my favorites. Wasn't expecting Southern Living to have such a legit recipe. Highly recommend if you like pumpkin and/or bundt cakes.

al dente as frick box said 10-11 minutes but i cooked it for 7

spilled like a third of the pasta i cooked in the sink trying to strain it LOL

!pinknames

They were great and tasted exactly like the cookies!

I used this recipe here - it's stolen from the NYT who paywalls all their recipes.

They're good. Good kick, hint of lime taste.

Decided to pick some Asian soda came home, found out they sold me Bulgarian Fanta

It's not bad

I was really skeptical that the rice would cook the egg at all, so I might have used too much. The consistency was surprisingly fluffy.

I didn't have any msg, fancy soy sauce, or whatever the heck else the video had. So, it was just egg, soy sauce, and rice.

Pros: Texture was really pleasant. Much more so than I thought it would be.

Cons: Much blander than my typical egg dishes. This might just be because it was my first time with a dish that is especially unusual for westerners.

I might give it another try if I can find ways to kick it up a notch. I don't see it topping the 🐐 egg dish; a French omelet which only needs eggs, butter, and salt.

Too much potato, not enough meat. Wanted to use lamb but couldn't be fricked to go to the butcher. !pinknames

Is unironically from Little Ceasar's Pizza.

It has a good amount of grease to keep the dough spongy, and the rest of the pizza does not suffer from a thinner crust.

Pizza Hut gets points for having crust toppers to take the stuffed crust to another level, but they are lazy and do not offer these crust toppers on Doordash so I deduct points. The rest of the pizza also becomes floppier from the extra dough needed for the crust.

Papa John's similarly gets points for putting more flavor on the crust, but the rest of the pizza suffers the same issue of needing some Viagra. Also Papa John's default crust is just uninspiring, so the cheesy center does not have a good partner to work with.

Little Caesars is a great experience throughout, a thicker crust that is mitigated by the grease.

Many other shops may offer stuffed crust, but they are merely pretenders chasing an advertising trend. You can detect the lack of enthusiasm from these teenagers in constructing the pizza, and the other shops never account for the extra dough needed.
