A Different Drummer

Doing some research on a story, part of which involves "solid ink" technology, basically printers that use sticks of solid rather than liquid ink. The ink stick gets slowly melted as the printer uses it.

Anyhow, the whole thing became 50 times more interesting when I read this:

"The sticks are non-toxic and safe to handle. In the mid 1990s, the president of Tektronix actually ate part of a stick of solid ink, demonstrating that they are safe to handle and presumably, eat. The medium of the ink was (at least at the time) made from food-grade processed vegetable oils."

If you truly believe in your product, you should be willing to ingest it. No questions asked.
