I did try Joylent. I managed to drink one "meal" but couldn't go through the second one. It's the most disgusting thing I have ever encountered.
I eat a lot of things many people would consider unsavory, including snails, oysters, cheese, etc., things way past their expiration date, and very bad (cheap) Chinese food. But this, no.
I had bought 40 bags of the stuff that sit unused in my cupboard.
Maybe Soylent is way different, I don't know, I didn't try it. But a small pill would be fantastic.
Worse than your typical high quality protein shake? A warm protein shake with room temperature tap water right after the gym is gag inducing. That's my threshold for gross drinks.
A pill is probably pretty close to impossible. Even pure fat only has 9 calories per gram. 2000 calories is about 8 fl oz which you could (theoretically) drink, but would be a whole lot of pills.

8 fl oz = 25 cl, size of one serving of a small coke. That would be drinkable in 2-3 gulps so even if it's disgusting it's manageable... Maybe...
How do all of these compare?
I am using Joylent for 4 months now, for breakfast and sometimes dinner. I had no problem so far.
