Norm Drinks Soylent, Day 1
Tested reader Luke sent over a week’s supply of Soylent for us to test! Unfortunately, this is the old Soylent formula, which isn’t representative of the current product being sold–we’ll wait until we can buy the latest batch before an official review. But we can’t let good Soylent go to waste, so Norm is committing to a week of living off of this future food.

Have not watched it fully yet, but if this goes anything like anyone else’s week/month/period of Soylent, this is gonna be quite a week.
This is going to be comedy Gold!
Anyone else reminded of the scene from The Matrix when the crew of the Nebuchadnezzar is sitting around the table eating that stuff that “has everything the body needs”? Except the woman in the red dress of course!
Roll forward 7 days and Norm will look like Arnie!
This video should be titled: Norm’s office clearing farts, the prequal.
You guys have done some dumb stuff over the years. Good luck!
This is the best! Thanks guys!
This is going to be hilarious.
Norm needs to have a penalty if he gets caught cheating.
Happy pooing Norm
I assume this is like protein powder stuff, Though I guess im looking like jamie and having a jamieoff would be funny
OR it’s like weightgain4000, I don’t know if norm should be imitating cartman
i very enjoyed with this video …Will you made me laugh with tears…you r very much like those..*up.
Enjoy soylent Norm.
As a premium member, please don’t point a camera at Norm’s stool, Thank you.
“Idiot proof”
From what I’ve read, you might not want to share close quarters with Norm for awhile. Soylent tends to be an impressive natural gas producer… if you know what I mean.
BEEEEEFCAAAAKE!
This for sure will be comedy gold. Someone pick up some feBreze for the office.
This is already going to be my favorite Premium Content. SHUT UP AND TAKE MORE OF MY MONEY!
really should get a vitamix
Fight through it, brother Norm. Don’t get caught cheating, though.
“This is some Diehard sh*t!” ~ Norm
I can’t stop laughing.. 😂
Wil should sous vide it.
I hope you try some savory flavors with it. Sweet can get boring after a while.
Wouschester and Horseradish maybe?
Ow this is going to be very funny.
Good luck to you Norm, I think you’re going to need it!
No solid foods…no extra fiber for a week…oh boy…
As a food story, I think Adam should be in on it, and see if he can pull Traci and Alton along for laughs.
Will’s disdain for this product is hands down my favorite thing about the video. “What kind of fucking super duper blender do these people expect you to have?” Could not stop laughing.
I swear they need to put in a vote challenge on what the outcome of this weeklong of Soylent is gonna end up as.
On another note, this video had me bust out laughing at work. So glad everyone else here has headphones in.
Good Luck Norm.
agreed. Ha..
Quoth Norm, ” I’m Cookin!
This is going to be a fun week.
Hang in there, Chan.
Hilarious. Must document all such conversations.
You guys need to get Jamie on to compare this to his home made liquid meals
Good luck will be watching for outcome…LOL
Pineapple and coconut or separate, French vanilla flavoring, use quick either chocolate or strawberry, or add tang or something like that adding doctor pepper is good to, maybe just add coke.just thought about add Reese peanut butter cups or pieces
Norm,
For the record, a local news guy went on a all liquid diet. He said it was dangerous and required close medical supervision. See a doctor before you do this.
not a good idea. You may find yourself in the hospital.
Those crash zooms Joey pulled while Norm was chugging were PERFECT.
I don’t know if one could consider partially rinsing out a container (under a faucet with just cold tap water) as “washing” it… 😂
I still can’t believe some idiot named his food product Soylent. He obviously named it without ever having watched Soylent Green.
I’m just picturing around day three where the video is just 15 minutes of Will standing outside the office toilet door shaking his head to sounds of Norm’s distress.
Day four is the same, but Will is wearing a hazmat suit.
False… Not only had he clearly seen it, no other name would have garnered half the attention.
I’m just going to say what we’re all thinking:
This is going to make his bathroom breaks rather ‘festive’.
accidentally double posted.
This will be the comedic gold standard that all other premium content is judged against.
according to the nutritional information on the Soylent website, each pouch contains 100% of your recommended daily fiber intake. I’ve always leaned towards the thought that a lot of people actually don’t get their recommended dose of fiber, so it may run the opposite direction from what you’d expect. Lots more fiber than your used to can be equally festive. Also, fun fiber related story, have you ever seen those “45 calories and Delightful” Sara Lee breads? Well, I was looking at the bread one day in the store, and suddenly thought “how the hell do they take half the calories out of bread without halving the serving size?” and then I remembered something, and promptly checked the ingredients on the package. Sure enough, Cellulose fiber. They use powdered paper to bulk the dough, and add non digestible mass. I hate to imagine what having that much extra fiber in your diet probably does.
Freaking great! I can’t wait to see the rest of the week.
I also thought of Jamie’s food sludge haha. This is going to be an interesting week of videos haha.
Someday film “Norm’s Revenge”
Best premium content to date! Go Norm!
This is going to be funnier than watching Will and Norm buy their Bitcoin, and that had me in stitches.
I’ll concede the point Kim. I still think it’s a terrible name to market a food product. Perhaps he will follow up with Dahmer-boost or Donner Party Platters.
I hope Norm doesn’t fall ill…
You don’t see the difference between a tongue-in-cheek name based on a schlocky 80s movie, and names based on real-life serial killers/cannibalism?
He knew the reference would resonate heavily with technology-interested, pop-culture savvy people in the age groupthe product was aimed at. He also knew that media would jump all over him either way, so self-awareness of its alien nature beats them to the punchline and to a degree makes comparisons silly.
I’d say it is a ingenious name for the niche product it is, and a bold one… since he had make sure focus struck the balance between a, potentially overly, humorous brand and the serious research and development at its foundation.
After all the cool stuff you guys have talked about being able to access with Tested Premium membership, Norm crusading though a weeks worth of Soylent is what finally got me to subscribe. God speed
So is it just me but when you first saw the name wonder; “Is it made of people?” Hmmm?
This is like one of the mystery builds, except, there actually is time to guess what the outcome will be. My guess is that Norm will find it harder and harder to drink the same stuff over and over, and will give up before the week is up. I give it 3 days.
you look allmost as skeptical as during the bit coin purchase
That’s a LOT of bounty!
Waiter, there’s a hair in my soylent.
Based on a 60s story, but in fact a 70s movie (1973), it was a long day… 🙂
This will be interesting. I hope Norm survives the week with all the potentional mud butt accidents 😛
You should dye it green. For historical reference…
The NY Times article (titled: The Soylent Revolution Will Not Be Pleasurable) on this vanilla-flavored sludge, is a must read for anyone wondering what Norm is about to endure..
dye it pink and serve on tele-tubby toast!
Each meal should be recorded.
I was so wanting it to be green. Good luck Norm.
Bought premium for this
I’m actually quite interested in the outcome of this. For me, food is a chore that I hate. I don’t like trying new things, going out for a meal gives me mild anxiety, and travelling abroad does too.
For me, the idea behind soylent is perfect. I don’t have to worry about eating, just take all the nutrition in that I need.
It isn’t going to be for everyone, and this test should be good with the healthy (over healthy) disdain that Will is holding over it. 😉 I hope you can keep a fairly open mind about it.
They talked about Soylent on a TV show where I live not long ago and asked a doctor if this was enough for the human body to work. His answer was: “Yes, but he wouldn’t recommend it”. Good luck, Norm!
The look of skepticism and incredulity on Will’s face is priceless.
Despite the….sound effects of the mixing….I still want to try it one day. Curious about potential weight loss, thinking about replacing my lunch with Soylent.
Thanks for using yourself as a test bed, Norm!
me too!
We need poop reviews!
I’m dying. This video. Can’t stop. tears.
Everything about this process is magical
TG DW. (too gross didn’t watch)
A free blender from Craigslist. You sure like playing with fire Norm.
This is going to be a great week. Godspeed Norm.
Also, one of my friends knows the creator of Soylent. He said its basically the same stuff as medical liquid food without all of the FDA regulations imposed for being medical grade, which is why the price is reasonable. At least you aren’t getting this piped into your stomach, that would be a whole different kind of test.
This is a new tv-show genre: Reality Comedy.
Although I’m very curious about the results, I’ll also watch because this is funny as hell.
Intrigued about this, so good to see Tested covering it.
As an aside anyone able to shed any light on were Norms T shirt is from? I tried asking him on twitter, but no response.
I love the idea of this product, I always hate breakfast and lunch because I’m always up at 5:00am and have a full school and work schedule till 6:00pm. My days are generally so packed between those times that eating is just annoying.
Given that I still will probably never use this product but I just like the idea it’s a real thing.
finally more premium
I’d be worried about anal leakage 😉
I loved the Die Hard reference, but this was easily the best part of my day.
Hey guys, any chance we can get a download link for those of us watching on chromecast?
I love Norm’s sign off: “I’m so hungry.”
And Will, show a little bit of support. Norm’s about to make a hideous, hideous mistake. Don’t rub it in. Be a little encouraging. Try not to laugh. Well, too hard.
Norm, sir, I salute you. The bravery you are showing is commendable, if not a teeny bit inadvisable.
Note: I have not seen any of the other videos yet.
funniest thing i have seen in a long time
Watching Norm try to make this was just like me trying to cook for the first time! I can’t wait to see how this week turns out!
Laughed so hard, omg hah!
