Browsing takeaway pizza websites will never be the same again: you鈥檒l soon be
able to download and print the pizza鈥檚 aroma and taste. A company called TriSenx
of Savannah, Georgia, will launch a device next month that looks like a desktop
printer but which can 鈥減rint鈥 smells and tastes. The $269 printer is
loaded with a cartridge containing more than 200 water-based flavours that are
deposited in varying combinations by a print head onto fibre-based cardboard to
make over a thousand different smells. The company is adapting the device to
print on an edible paper-like wafer, allowing it to print out tastes too.
Included in the price is software to help you avoid combinations that don鈥檛
smell or taste too good.
