Popinator Launches Popcorn For Easy Snacking

Tired of reaching into a buttery bag or bowl of popcorn? Do you wish someone would just feed it to you already?

Meet the Popinator, a self contained popcorn launcher.

Load it up with popcorn, then sit back and relax while the hot buttery snack is launched straight to your pie hole.

It couldn't be easier, right?

And if your concern is that the popcorn will sail rapid fire at your face, never fear -- the Popinator is voice activated, so it only launches when you give the go-ahead.

As if it couldn't get any cooler, the shooter contraption can pivot to locate your voice across the room, so there's little room for launching error.

Alas, it's only a pipedream (pop dream?) for now, conceived by the folks at Popcorn Indiana, which makes some pretty kick-ass bagged popcorn.

The company has dubbed the Popinator the "world's first automated voice activated popcorn shooter," with electrical engineer Ted explaining, "Every piece of popcorn is different -- different shapes and sizes, different aerodynamic properties, basically."

He adds, "When you're shooting a piece of popcorn, there's only so accurate you can get it, You might have to maneuver a little bit to catch it, but that's really just part of the fun."

A sales representative for the company tells Mashable that, for now, the Popinator is just a prototype and is in the planning stages.
