Trending vending is the machine that will allow you to print and customize your own Oreo, being developed and tested by Mondelez International.

Soon you’ll be able to print and customize your own Oreo through a vending machine-like 3D printer.

This is what Bonin Bough, vice president of Global Media and Consumer Engagement at Mondelez International, calls “hacking food,” hacking meaning “breaking things to create value.”

Bough explained the revolution of food. Society went from being hunters and gathers, to shopping at a grocery store, to picking up fast food, and then to finally just sitting on the couch ordering delivery.

Bough said 3D printed food is next and already being developed. The 3D Oreo dispenser is at SXSW, and people were waiting up to 2 hours to get one customized cookie.

They brought it to SXSW as an experiment to see what people want in their 3D printed food, and they found that customization was crucial.
