"Upon being given a sample, he will speak up in a childlike voice and identify what he has just been fed. The idea is that wineries can tell if a wine is authentic without even opening the bottle, amongst other more obscure uses" When a reporter placed his hand up for taste the robot identified it as bacon. Let's hope robots don't develop a taste for that crinkly, crispy, salty yummy... we're doomed!"
