Soylent Vs Schmoylent Lunch Date!

Schmoylent: Day 1 
Lunch: Soylent 1.0 vs Vanilla Schmoylent with MCT oil taste test!

Left: Breakfast portion. Right: Lunch portion divided by two so as to share with Alex.
Texture: Soylent was much less gritty. Or maybe, still gritty, but finer grit? The texture was preferred. Both were still a little icky.
Taste: Soylent was sort of oaty... kind of like consuming really boring bread? Schmoylent is obviously vanilla flavored, but it was really minor. The longer I went back and forth, the more I couldn't tell the difference between them. Neither were particularly sweet. Neither were offensive.
MCT vs. Coconut Oil (my two preparations today): Uh... neither were bad, neither were great... MCT was much easier to prepare because I had to melt my coconut oil. I'll probably use up my MCT oil for now.
Cold vs Room Temperature (Schmoylent was cold, Soylent was RT): Being cold helps. I was told this, the directions said so, and it's true!
Other factors: I had this taste test in the park with my friend Alex. He provided the Soylent (and gave me some to play with on my own, Thanks Alex!). It was very much against the spirit of what this food is about to sit down and have a meal of it with someone. But once we got past the initial "Wow, this stuff is gritty, oh, being cold is better... ect" silliness, we were totally able to have a normal lunch conversation. It's not really a GOOD social food, but it isn't really a bad one either. Although if Alex had a cheeseburger instead, I would have hated my sludge.

Schmoylent meals: 2
Real meals: 0
