I can see the convenience of liquid but it's seems highly inefficient distribution-wise. I wonder if there's another way to distribute it such as a bar?
I'm going to take a not-that-wild guess and suggest that they're completely aware of the inefficiency and moved forward with it because A) it gives the company a fatter profit margin when the customer is paying for less Soylent and more water, and B) this is the best way to move toward getting Soylent into the corner store refrigerator.
