This reminds me of the scene from the Matrix when they question whether the AI knows how to replicate the taste of human food “maybe they couldn’t figure out what chicken taste like, which is why chicken taste like everything.” [VIDEO]

Nobody noticed this but Soylent actually made its debut in the matrix. [VIDEO] Truly the food of the future. (controlled by machines.)

It looks remarkably like the "bowl of snot" that Neo and his buddies eat in the Matrix. "It's a single-celled protein combined with synthetic aminos, vitamins, and minerals. Everything the body needs." [VIDEO]
