3D Printed Pizza Is Coming to a Theme Park Near You
Once upon a time, when we thought we'd be sending people to Mars much sooner, a team of scientists worked on a space-grade 3D printer that astronauts could use to easily cook food in zero gravity. Although the mission to Mars isn't quite ready, the 3D printing technology is. Researcher Anjan Contractor started BeeHex to bring customizable 3D printing technology to theme parks, concert venues, sports arenas, and other similar venues. His food of choice is, of course, pizza. BeeHex's machine is designed so that chefs can insert pre-made ingredients into separate sauce, cheese, and dough nozzles. The machine is also self-cleaning and can reset itself every four minutes.

Burger King Australia Uses Holographic French Fries Packaging to Scare Away Seagulls
Hungry Jack's, as Burger King is known in Australia, has come out with limited-edition packaging for its fries, but it isn't just for looks. The holographic paper creates a glittering surface that reflects light, which apparently confuses and wards off hungry sea gulls — apparently a major cause for concern Down Under. In case anybody misses the point, the company has dubbed the new container "The Pack That Scares Gulls."
