    First, crystals are excellent oscillators. If you apply a small enough metal oxide to them, you can also make semiconductors. Sugar makes excellent crystals. I've not tried, but I can't see any obvious reason why you couldn't make a sugar-based transistor.


    This would seem to suggest it may be possible to build the ENTIRE computer (motherboard, chips and all) out of confectionary.
