Not only does it do away with moulds, but it opens up the possibility to do things that would be impossible with a mould; e.g. intertwining white, milk & dark chocolate.

IMHO, when reading stories like this one, it's important to realise that this isn't the end product, but (potentially) the start of a long line of ever more capable products.... to use a computer analogy, what you are looking at now is the ZX80 of the chocolate printer world...

Like the last days of the Roman Empire, isn't it? :loco:

Andy - I must admit, I thought this the day I first saw an advert for a pubic hair trimmer on national TV. It also frequently crosses my mind when I see adverts for battery-powered air fresheners that look like rocks or vases, and devices for sticking a lump of green goo to the side of your toilet bowl so you don't have to touch the porcelain.

DaveH:
Even chocolate frogs :D

I will admit that I was attempting to do a bit of humour with Peter, and I do understand that it could lead to bigger and better things (well I hope it does).

I also agree with other things that people have raised, Ade and his green goo.

I draw the line at the Dettol advert about an automatic dispenser for hand cleaning soap, so that you don't have to touch the dirty germ infested dispenser.

WHY ARE YOU WASHING YOUR HANDS IN THE FIRST PLACE? - BECAUSE THEY ARE DIRTY AND GERM INFESTED AND IT DOESN'T MATTER ONE IOTA IF THE DISPENSER WAS KNEE DEEP IN S**T, BECAUSE YOU ARE THERE TO WASH YOUR HANDS, IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU TOUCH IT OR NOT. :bang: :bang: :bang

Unless of course Dettol know better, and by touching their dispenser, you will be infected with germs that their soap can't kill. :doh:

DavidA:
Which raises the thorny problem of the bog brush.

Do you use the brush after you've done the neccessary and before you wash your hands; there by risking transfer to the brush handle of any smelly brown stuff that found it's way trhough today's unreliably thin paper.
Or do you wash your hands first, then use the brush. But what if the last person didn't, and they had a paper failure ?

Or do you wash them both before and after the operation ?

Dave.

...Dettol...

Ooh, don't get me started on Dettol....

Too late!

"KILLS 99.9% OF ALL KNOWN GERMS!" - thus leaving the most virulent 0.1% to multiply, and multiply...... eventually, all germs will be dettol-resistant; all because you used Dettol instead of bleach! Bleach would have killed the damn lot!

And even then, do you _really_ want to kill all those germs? For some - e.g. those with weakened immune systems - yes, is the answer (= use bleach!); for most of the rest of us, hell no! IMHO living in sterile boxes is what has caused the massive rise in allergies (well, that and good marketing). Touch wood, I've never had anything more serious than a couple of mild bouts of food poisoning (messy, but ultimately not that bad), a few colds, er and that's it. I've only been laid up in bed once in my adult life with an sickness, and that was eating some dodgy sandwich spread which must have been bad; and I only clean the house when I can't see the floor any more, or if I'm expecting visitors...
