i guess it’s finally here: pringles prints are one of the first products to take advantage of edible ink to print custom messages on mass-produced food. this idea has its roots with david small‘s research at the medialab’s counterintelligence group in the late 90s. instead of bad jokes, he printed nutritional information and poetry on food with a laser-cutter. now that anything can be printed with any information, what should be printed? it would have to be useful, worth the extra energy… maybe it could replace packaging and stickers altogether?
