Microbites

by Dan Campion

“Here, Have a Cookie. It’s Made of Plastic. NASA wanted deep-space snacks, so a lab delivered 3D-printed cookies [aka ‘microbites’] made from water bottles.
—Popular Mechanics

A “microbite” might go down swell,
A snack for weightlessness,
And even stay down—who can tell?—
Washed down with Tang, I guess.
