It may come in one flavo(u)r in the movie, but I know that we could make more. What flavo(u)r are you?


I also leave you with a riddle.

You know his name from long ago, with hair so red it looked like fire. He soared in the air, but always towards the left. Like a speeding arrow. Now you know him by another, he could be anybody's brother. Check my posts and arrange the white text, and you'll know who is who.

No, no, no, green *is* the flavor. Seriously. Soylent came in three flavors that were mentioned.* One of the flavors was "green", the others mentioned were "red" and "yellow".
The TV Commercial in the movie went something like this "Try all of Soylent's delicious flavors: Soylent red, Soylent yellow, and new, delicious, Soylent green." So the question answers itself - if I were Soylent green, I'd automatically be green flavor.

What flavour would I want to be? Tofu-flavour. Or water-flavour. But realistically people would just bite into my soylenty goodness and say "Eugh, tastes like.....simony." If, that is, simony does indeed have a distinct taste.

The first is a sweet red wine that is made from the general area I was born and raised in and the second is a chestnutty goodness from the area I was raised in. So, good guess .:p

Yeah, you and a lot of others on this thread. As I said above, GREEN is the flavor of Soylent green.

People just don't get it. To put it in clearer terms, the question is the equivilant of asking "if you were vanilla ice cream, what flavor of ice cream would you be?" :headbang: (I feel a bit like Thorn at the end of the movie. The people answering different flavors are being just as stupid as those in the movie were when he warned them.)

Are you asking which flavour we would actually be, or which we would prefer to be?

Anyway here are my answers:

I. Alright, I suppose I have to be "green" flavoured.

II. It is often said that everything meaty tastes like chicken, so maybe that is more appropriate. A friend of mine who dissected deceased folks while in nursing school now has an aversion to bacon, though, so apparently that is right.

III. To expand on answer I. and the ongoing notes that one must be "green" flavoured, I contend that this flavour is the mint used in flavouring chocolate.

IV. With my ultimate preference given the right of way, I pick lemon and brown sugar.

Except that Green is a color, which one perceives with one's eyes, as opposed to a flavor, which one perceives with one's tongue. Therefore, while "Green" may well be a variety of Soylent, what, exactly, "Green" tastes like is left to the imagination, and my imagination has chosen vodka.
Congratulations, thinking all that through just cost me 10 IQ points, jack ass.

Aw jeez people, watch the movie... Soylent yellow is made from soy beans, the 'soylent' name comes from this. Soylent green was supposed to be made from seaweed, hence the green color. And of course they find out that it's really made from people...

So I guess you could say soylent green is seaweed flavored people....?

The taste may still be affected by whatever the people had been eating. Kind of like how grain-fed beef is supposed to taste different than grass-fed.

I think my soylent green made from me, would taste suspiciously like peanut butter and root beer.

Blaim it on the movie, not me. That's where they say it's a flavor.

And as far as the spoiler goes, pop culture's pick up on the original advertising campaign already did that. As you can see from all the posters who assumed it's supposed to be a color and not a flavor.
