The CocoJet lets you print in delicious 3D chocolate
We live in a magical, magical world. A world where we can print almost anything we want in chocolate. Yes -- chocolate. 3D Systems and The Hershey Company are basically making your wildest confectionery dreams come true with the CocoJet, a 3D printer for delicious chocolate. You can choose among dark, milk or white chocolate for your creations (though, we all know that white chocolate isn't really chocolate). And so long as your desired shape isn't too complicated, the CocoJet should be able to spit it out. You could even print functioning chocolate nuts and bolts if you really wanted. Sadly, the press release states that, "The company intends to share its commercial plans for this class of chocolate 3D printers at a later date." So... don't get too excited about printing out chocolate hearts for your loved one (or white chocolate daggers for your enemies) just yet.
Hershey and 3D Systems join forces to create printable confections
You may no longer have to settle for getting your chocolate in teardrop, bar or seasonal-bunny form. The Hershey Company has signed an agreement to develop printable treats with 3D Systems, which announced its own chocolate-equipped printer at CES last week. That yet-to-be-released machine will fall under the ChefJet line, and also supports printing 3D objects with sugar. With ChefJet's release still months away, it's unlikely that thousands of the machines are already plugging away at a secret factory in Hershey, Penn., but you better believe we'll be first in line when the custom-printed delights hit stores.
Hershey's and LG baking up more Chocolate goodies
So you just purchased LG's newest Chocolate incarnation and you're looking for the latest accessories? The more gimmicky, the better, yeah? Look no further than you local Verizon Wireless store, my friend, as they can satisfy your craving. LG has made a deal with Hershey's Chocolate to manufacture accessories for the phone including a leather carrying pouch adorned with little Hershey Hugs. What's the next in for LG and Hershey? Maybe little Hershey Kisses look-a-like stereo ear buds?
