Is there anywhere to get sample sizes (like, 1 meal) of Soylent? I'd be interested in trying it, but i can't shell out 50 bucks for something i'll end up hating.

I am sure that you aren't the only one. My guess is that they are having such a difficult time meeting current demand that they haven't felt a need to take that approach yet. Currently, new orders ship in 4-5 months (they fulfill reorders in 1-2 weeks).

I doubt that you'll hate it as it has a pretty neutral flavor. It's a bit malty and a little chalky. More likely, you won't love it. IMO it comes down to whether or not you feel the convenience (and possibly the nutritional value) makes up for the sacrifice in flavor and variety. If you think that's a trade that you are likely to appreciate, it will likely work for you.

If you've just got to try it, PM me.
