I know there are times when he does smell and taste stuff but I can't think of any examples of the top of my head, deas anyone else know any?

This applies here, too Originally posted by BrainSluggo in that other thread: BUT WHY GET TECHNICAL? Most of the science in "Futurama" is bullpoop; it's supposed to be. It's funny.

My theory: Bender can't taste or smell things the way humans can. But he can, however, analyze the components of flavours and odours, and then compare the results of the analysis with a databank. Thus he can determine in what way a human would respond to a scent or flavour. Similar approach with robot food and beverages. His response to Slurm could have been to the chemical energy that drink packed, same thing with the Sterno-something at Elzars in "Bender Gets Made" (perhaps it was a high quality, very pure Sterno-something). The Popplers sniffing, that could just as easily be Bender trying to "sell" the big bag of rocks he just picked up (no need to let a bag of perfectly good rocks go to waste ).

I prefer not too analyze too much when it comes to sci-fi. It just is!

Bender once raved about how delicious some food Elzar cooked for him was. Fry didn't wanna taste it, but Bender jammed some 800 degree material in his mouth, and after the screaming ended, Fry agreed it WAS good.
