I found this in my alley today.  At least it's not the green variety.

In reply to stuart in mn :

They still make that stuff?

It's a real product, if you've never heard of it.  It's a generic food-substitute nutrition powder (like real life Bachelor Chow) that is popular with the kind of people who will do some math and then buy 500 of the cheapest undershirts from Alibaba because it's cheaper to wear them once and throw out than it is to do laundry.  Which amuses me because Soylent is more expensive than eating actual food.

It comes up in the headlines every so often on my favorite news aggregator because they'll have batches contaminated with some bacteria or something, and the company will downplay it if they don't outright deny it.

Working on the racecar for next season.......pic shows why. Last turn of the last lap of the last race of the 2024 season, someone else dropped some oil and he spun in it and tagged the wall. Not too bad, but enough to make it worth while to pull the front end off and do a major rebuild, radiator, fenders, core support etc. then when starting the motor up for the first time, we decided to run compression first, just to get some baseline info -- oops, #4 has 60lbs compression........that might be it for 2025 season, motors are expensive when you're on a shoestring budget. Needs a block as it's already bored as far as it can go and #4 showed some real wear at the top......
