A Real Breakthrough

This is something everyone can sink their teeth into and enjoy, a perfect example of why research is necessary.

The BBC reports that a Printer produces personalised 3D chocolate

Chocolate lovers may soon be able to print their own 3D creations thanks to work by UK scientists.

A 3D printer that uses chocolate has been developed by University of Exeter researchers – and it prints layers of chocolate instead of ink or plastic.

Think of it, a real, solid chocolate Easter bunny, not a hollow shell. Good chocolate, not the brown paste that corporations force upon us.

Why aren’t US universities doing this kind of research?

This is the best food innovation since barbecuing, for sure.

A gal with a printer at Exeter
Found all of the guys tossing Chexeter.
Said she, “Don’t be rash…”
“Want choc’late? toss cash!”
One wonders what they will throw Nexeter!

(Although this one is original with me, I confess many limericks I read in my childhood involved Exeter. They’re not scarce!)

Ah, a British version of Nantucket.

I want a 3-D chocolate penguin, myself. Might feel a bit like Jeffrey Dahmer eating it, but oh so good …

Hmmm… cookie chip chocolate?
