A one-minute clip from The Matrix in which the crew eat a bland nutrient slurry for breakfast and Mouse muses about Tasty Wheat.

HN commenters use it as a joke in threads about Soylent and meal replacements, comparing the slurry to the Matrix scene.

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.” ▶ this video

Nobody noticed this but Soylent actually made its debut in the matrix. ▶ this 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." ▶ this video
