I think that was supposed to be a strawberry. Which kind of reinforces your point

A simillar thing's been going on in baking for a few years at least. Lots of very posh wedding cakes & the like get airbrushed. Not metallic colours like that but basically the same thing. TBH, I'm not sure spray painting an apple metallic blue makes it better in any way. |

Yeah, I was just using an example. In any case there's also the issue that our subjective sense of taste is modified subtley by the colour of the food we are eating. There's a psychology experiment where if you 'mis-colour' foods using edible dye people can become confused about what they are actually eating - for example if you dye orange juice dark red and ask people to try it, some of them won't even spot what it is. Doing this might make the food look interesting and unusual but it's very possible people might not like it, even though you haven't changed the food's taste at all. |

I know a baker who uses pastel shade metallics that she airbrushes cakes with. They still taste oh-so-sugary sweet. |

Just google "yvonne strahovski body paint" for a great example that will get men cleaning up in the kitchen afterwards.

Makes for more colourful displays at occasions. Might make fruit and veg more fun for kids.
Haven't they done this to Skittles? Shell is one colour but sweet is of a different flavour. TBH I've eaten sweets in the dark eg cinema, and quite often can't tell the difference in taste. Looking at it (eg holding it up to the light) reinforces the flavour. |
