The Popinator Project makes popcorn eating a handsfree experience

You know you are the laziest person in the world when you’d go through the trouble of inventing a whole darned machine that would relieve you of the burden of having to move your arms to pop popcorn into your own mouth. Well, at least that’s what we think the makers of this brand new invention are. The device is known as the Popinator and it has been created by the hard working folks over at Popcorn Indiana. The lazy man’s popcorn feeder is designed to respond to voice commands and comes with all kinds of tech wizardry which allows it to shoot a kernel of popcorn accurately into the mouth of the person asking for popcorn.

The Popinator popcorn feeding machine

To get the machine to feed you, you have to be within 15 feet of the device. Whenever you’re ready to have a kernel shot into your mouth, you simply have to say the word “Pop”. The machine will then launch a single kernel of popped corn directly into your mouth without you having to lift a finger. To ensure that every single kernel lands squarely into a user’s mouth, the Popinator has been fitted with binaural microphones that can detect the direction in which the command word (“Pop”) has emerged from after which it triangulates the exact location of the person who spoke the word.

Then it shoots a single kernel with enough force to allow it to land directly into the user’s mouth. Even though we totally see the makers of this machine being sued to the kingdom of Hades and worse by individuals who lose an eye or end up choking trying to catch kernel in their mouths, we do think the Popinator could be a god sent for people with no hands!
