Soylent isn't curing cancer or solving hunger. They're selling meal replacement drinks, which is a large, established market.
Computers were large established market once, but you could not buy one home.

I don't see meal replacement drinks in food stores around, don't think those would be off-the-shelf no-brainer anyway.

It creates a new market.
