"Click-bait headlines" may have claimed it, but Rob Rhinehart himself was always clear: Soylent isn't the end of food, it's the end of having no alternative to food.

I eat Soylent about 50% of the time, so I'm not surprised the data show others doing the same.

P.S. Weirdly enough, I crave it most in the morning. There's no better breakfast than a simple Soylent and coffee (roughly one part Soylent, two parts coffee). Somehow, Soylent ended up being the best non-dairy coffee creamer of all time.

You're saying you mix it? Do you drink it cold, or hot? I've never considered that.

I agree on mornings. It fills that infinite vacuum of hunger I get some mornings pretty well.

It's kinda lukewarm, but I don't mind. I tried it with iced coffee once, and that worked better, but I'm too lazy to brew iced coffee all the time.

Assuming you mix it hot, how does that effect the Soylent? Does anything break down and lose nutritional value?

Priorities, man! How does it affect the coffee!! Does it lose its delicious coffee value?

Yes, sadly, Soylent is made from the world's most fragile ingredients. If you modify it in any way that you would normal food, it becomes useless, nutritionally inert goo that even Oliver Twist would reject.
