<p>A friend of mine keeps trying to get me to buy <a href="http://www.soylent.me/#/">Soylent</a>, for reasons I do not 100% understand. He seemed disappointed that I had not purchased any since the idea was broached a month ago.</p>
<p>Originally I was going to buy a single packet as a joke, but it doesn't seem you can do that. In fact, the minimum amount you can spend on a one-time Soylent purchase on their website is $85.</p>
<p>I will confess to occasionally budgeting more money than I should for silly side-projects, but $85 for some bland food-replacement does not make the cut.</p>
<p>So enter my half-baked <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/">Kickstarter</a> idea: I raise $85 to buy the 7 bags and write a food review for each individual serving as though it were a unique meal. You could look forward to reviews of "Soylent — Thursday" and "Soylent — Monday, the 1st."</p>
<p>There it is. My half-baked idea.</p>
