The Popinator, A Popcorn Cannon That Will Launch Kernels Directly Into Your Mouth

The problem with popcorn these days, is that it doesn't pop directly into your mouth as nature intended [probably]. The Popinator, in development by Popcorn Indiana, is designed to be the ultimate kernel delivery system, by catapulting popcorn straight into your pie hole.

The cannon prototype is equipped with voice activation and binaural microphones, to help pinpoint the user's location, and figure out the correct trajectory. Now, where's the thing that shoots butter substitute?

My ex-husband didn't like to get his fingers "all buttery,"

so he ate popcorn with a spoon. I wish this popcorn cannon

had been around when we were still married - I would have

got it for him, along with a silencer and more powerful ammunition. . .

I have never seen so many whine people complaining about what successful people do with their money. Grow up get a job and you could afford a popinator.

it's more sanitary than fondling the popped corn, but what about those stray kernels that jettison out?

The thing needs a random setting like a batting or tennis ball serving machine so it'll boost your snackagility.

I need me one of these.

The people criticizing this are joyless souls. I saw the story on CNN, Googled it and found this story, and if the price were right it would be a perfect gift for my popcornholic wife to compliment her WhirleyPop. Still, there are those commenting who find the cloud in the silver lining. Total buzz kills. Go suck lemons.

The people who commented on it being a good toy for cats and dogs, bravo!

Apple will claim that the inventor stole the idea, that it looks too much like the iPhone.

It has a glass screen and rounded corners, clearly a patent violation.

Popinator = viral marketing. Betcha that is more what this is about.

But it's STALE popcorn. Now if the Popinator popped the corn just before dispensing then they would have a real product.
