WTF Wednesday: A Dose of Om Nom Nom?

Filed under: WTF Wednesday — Tags: , , — ex-boyfriend @ 6:03 pm

I love when science solves problems no one really has. Take the case of this “food printer”. Dubbed “The Cornucopia”, this totally unnecessary gadget:

1. Gets loaded with canisters of all your favorite foods.

2. After you select a meal using Cornucopia’s touch screen, it assembles your gruel, er um, I mean dinner.

3. The process involves piping ingredients into a  mixer and them “extruding” them. Yum.

It also tells you the calories and carbohydrate content of your meal. I am not sure caloric content will be a concern once I’m faced with a steaming pile of cucumber, ravioli and peanut butter mush. Thanks any way, science. I think I’ll just check my floor to see if I can find any stray potato chips:

  1. I think if it was sticky and you dropped it on the floor eating it is pretty much out. At least in my house, too much risk of a mouthful of kitty fur.

  2. This is the best flowchart since the panflute flowchart (see below).

  3. Food printer sounds good, in that I like the idea of a robot making me dinner, because I’d be like George Jetson, which is awesome. The actual description of the food printer, however, sounds completely revolting. My favorite foods are pizza and ice cream. I don’t want that mash up courtesy of the food printer.
