      The joke would have worked just fine had it said “Refill Octopus Cartridge” or literally any of a thousand other food options.

        Food is mostly made of sugar, complex carbs, fat, and protein. You could probably make a pretty decent printer with a dozen cartridges, and fructose would be a reasonable choice for one of them. The pizza isn’t going to taste right without fructose in the tomato sauce.

        Yeah it’s a joke but I’m getting into multi-material printing and printed food is actually a super interesting application.

            I look at it all as bullshit.

            But really to me it’s how your body responds to something with saliva.

            Something salty you salivate, sour you salivate, umami you salivate but how quickly, how much, and how long vary based upon the sensation.

            Umami basically means you salivate slowly for a long time which helps your stomach get ready to break down proteins apparently.
