Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where they all copied Elaine's boss and ate their Snickers bars with a knife and fork.

Gosh. Why didn't I think of that! I've been using chop sticks for popcorn ever since I served in the Far East

Gosh. Why didn't... Oh. Anyway, the sight of that repulsive guy in the suspenders eating turned my stomach. I'd like to buy this product, but I'll always associate it with that moustache. Couldn't they find some kind of model?

So does the Fun-do concept go into the signs of apocalypse book?

That which we call a tweezer would smell as sweet.

i dont want to meet the guy who invented this, i want to me the guy that the guy who invented this was scared would steal this idea, so therefore trademarked the idea.

Meaning you consider your ass....oh, nevermind.

Hmmm....I prefer to eat my popcorn frog style. It just sticks to the end of my tongue. No hands needed. It does get tricky at the bottom of the bag and I get some funny looks at the movie theater but my hands aren't greasy!

Oh, Faze -- you got me with that one! Laughed out loud, I did.

I couldn't get past "most unique eating utensil" in the slogan. "Most unique" -- argh!

Wait...

A new way to eat foods like pasta, sushi and oriental. It's also great for "real people" snacks like caramel corn, cheese balls, corn chips, etc.

Does that mean that pasta, sushi, and "oriental" are for fake people?

And don't forget: the Midwest [is] where all trends start.

Erk.

So ever so sad.

I'm with you, srboisvert, although I always considered it lapping, like a cat, not 'frog style' (since I don't launch my tongue out at the popcorn while it flies across the room). But yes, use the tongue instead of the fingers, because I'm usually reading (or typing, like right now). Keep the butter off the book/magazine pages and/or keyboard.

I need one. I use both the chopstick and tongue methods, even though it really shouldn't matter since I don't put butter on my popcorn. I still don't like having to handle it, especially if I'm reading or something.

I always had more of a lizard image, but yeah, frog works too.
