Food that delivers itself to my mouth? I’m there.

Do you have trouble getting popcorn into your mouthhole? Yeah, I know it can be tricky to reach into the bowl and perfectly align your hand with your mouth to ensure the popped kernel ends up in the right spot. Well, there’s finally a solution to this first-world problem, courtesy of the Popinator.

The fine folks at Popcorn Indiana conceived of this ridiculous gadget, that’s sole purpose is to locate your mouth and fire a single kernel of popcorn at it from up to 15 feet away. According to the “electrical engineer” in this video, the machine uses binaural microphones to detect when somebody says “Pop!” and then triangulates their location so it can adjust the popcorn launching mechanism.

Stumped on what to give out for Halloween?

Gorilla Boogers

This is a little old but funny nonetheless.

Honestly, I’m not positive this really counts as candy, but it’s close and it’s weird. Gorilla no Hana Kuso (Gorilla Boogers) are evidently sweetened, shriveled, black beans that look a whole lot like raisins. They have been popular in Japan for a while, especially near zoos, and they have just recently made their way to the U.S. – they have been spotted in Manhattan recently.
