A robot sommelier is unleashed, with a few bugs still present. A cameraman was mistaken for bacon.

I want to see variants on this that simply comment on bodily odor. "TICK TICK TICK BEEP. You aren't going to leave this house until you bathe. You smell like TICK TICK TICK BEEP ass."

Instead, we'll get little toasterbots roaming airports, ostensibly to sniff out Terror, actually to sniff out Drugs, but will instead succeed in identifying three specific flavors of Ludens.

"No, sir, you're not in trouble. The drug robot just wants an Altoid."

What was that tribe that calls human flesh "longpig"?

Chemically I expect bacon is a pretty close hit. Might want to cut down on the nitrates a little, and the cameraman's sodium level is pretty elevated, but still not bad.

They don't see it as a profitable item to market as of yet? Why on earth not? Why, surely we all need to have one!
