This is very common for a Ridiculously Human Robot who may need to eat food to maintain The Masquerade, but it's certainly not limited to that trope. Some robots consume food as a power source (Calories powering machines is something that exists in the real world, though in very early stages) either for convenience (or rarely for horror). Other robots may eat food they have no way of processing and no logical need for as pure Rule of Funny hedonism and to anthropomorphize otherwise non-human machines. Despite being unable to digest food, don't be surprised if caffeine, sugar, or alcohol still somehow affects a robot's behavior.

  • This is very common for a Ridiculously Human Robot who may need to eat food to maintain The Masquerade, but it's certainly not limited to that trope.

Despite being unable to digest food, don't be surprised if caffeine, sugar, or alcohol still somehow affects a robot's behavior. Many robots that can eat food also have a distinct preference, whether it be for something that's easy for their system to convert to energy or whether it be just the same tasty junk foods that humans love. Alcohol and sweets are popular for both reasons. Examples of Eating Machine include:
