This article about a robotic head with taste sensors reminds me of a more humorous situation with a similar device many years ago.

In that case, a journalist, attending a demo event of a wine and cheese tasting robot, on a curious whim, placed their hand on the tasting sensor.

The robot, apparently unaware of the unexpected nature of the input declared ... tastes like... prosciutto.

A cameraman then just had to try his hand qand the robot declared... tastes like... bacon.

You just can't make this stuff up, right?
