Climactic phrase from the Charlton Heston film.

Soylent Green - definition

The title of a (great) sci-fi film starring Charlton "from my cold dead hands" Heston, made in 1973.

The name comes from a combination of 'soy' and 'lentils'.

The film was (loosely) based on an anti-contraception novel, called 'Make Room! Make Room!', by Harry Harrison.

It is, of course, famously made from people.

New, Soylent Green!
Now with more girls!

Also available in Red, and Yellow.
