Bruh, this is insane. Like it's crazy that digital data is just a bunch of ones and zeroes so theoretically, you could make an audio file of every conversation you ever had when you were five, but also every conversation that you DIDN'T have when you were five. I never thought that taste could end up functioning in a similar way, but it makes sense.

"What's taking you so long?"
"I was downloading spaghetti."

[Megan-sbju]

“Did the fly trick work on you?”

My dumb brain not even having noticed the fly until he pointed it out-

[cemeek]

Reminds me of the “you wouldn’t steal a car, would you?” Commercial back in the day. “You wouldn’t illegally download a cheeseburger, would you?”

[Drawvin_Ink]

This brings a whole new meaning to: "Taste the Rainbow"

[MusicDecomposer]

Now we just need to digitize the sense of touch, and the matrix will be complete.

This theory feels way bigger than any other theory ever, not just because cooking will be so much easier, but this could end world hunger providing it's easy to get a hold of when it becomes mainstream, if they replicate a perfect bit of meat I'd never eat animals again and less important but the lack of calories in our sweets will be insane.

This is so interesting. I could actually lose weight by not having to give into cravings. I could still taste things without stress eating. This could change so much!

Food printer in 50 years:
Me: tries to print suger
Printer: doesn't work because there is no umami gel in the printer.
Me: ...?

[mahoganykettle]

“please tell me the fly got some people”
Me who didn’t even see the fly: 👀

[sophe]

*Me trying to print chocolate*
My printer: “Low on umami. Unable to print”

[ITpanda]

Smell is an important part of our perceptions of taste. Plus the having the mix of different tastes so close to each other would be more difficult than just cooking the food you want to simulate.

[Gavinyo]

“Sorry I didn’t make breakfast.” “It’s okay, I’ll just put the food channel on.”

[samga]

This would be so cool to taste things you’re not able to acquire where you live.
Or to taste foods you’re allergic to.
Or maybe even try foods from a restaurant at home to see if it’s worth spending your money on the dish.
As a foodie, this is blowing my mind and I LOVE it!!!

You forgot the sixth and most important component of Flavor: Scent. Most of the differences in flavors comes from how things smell, which is why foods often taste bland while you are congested. Until a means of reliably tricking the nose with only a few compounds becomes available, there will be a difference between real and fake foods.

2:49 I didn't even notice there was a fly there

[londonpunk]

this sounds like Cloudy with a chance of meatballs all over again

[Schuffles]

My parents: “Why are you licking the T.V.?”

Me: *you wouldn’t understand...*

[uhhahaha]

"Please tell me the fly works on at least some people-"

Me who didnt even notice it was there: Uh.. yeah-

[donaldhobson]

Most of what makes "taste" is texture and smell.

Actually, what does the burn of chilli count as? Its not a mix of any of the 5 flavours.
