I am 10 for 10... my monkey does the picking! you have been cheating just a bit of makeup to hide the truth 
Something happened to just ruin this thing, and...
...and those POPN popcorn machines went SOMEplace.
They DID exist. Now, De-Listed, whoa!
AVTC run off and abscond them all?
BANDITOS of Mechanical Popcorn Machnines, they are.
With POPN on the sidelines, if not already in the junkyard of
sub-Penny scrappage, I forlornly console and occupy myself with
a few meager, paltry, scarcely-fulfilling alternatives.
Alternatives such as microwaving little baggies of Jollytime
Butter-lavender locust-licious popped korn...
and Orbitous Reddenburger's Movie-Bijou Magic Butter-Kingdom Pock-corn.
Could THOSE have been our "salad days?"
We miss the times of anticipation and fleeting, fancy,
flying fluffs of freshly puffed pock-corn.
-- Milk Duds and Tasty-Tites bun-rolls...
---- Pretty sea shells, waxy plantoons, and balloons...
------ Pony rides on little three-foot-tall horses...
-------- Bare feet and wet grass...
---------- Unicorns! Marcel Mimeaux!
------------ Diapers a-bulge with tender, warm, buttered, crunchy kernels --
for the COLONEL!
Dare we envision and dream of a world with funtastic, fantabulous
FUNNELS filled with freshly-popped, warm, buttery Popcorn?
...A world of anthropomorphic vending machines burping-forth
bags-full of eagerly-awaited Popcorn warmly-sodden with synthetic
butterlike liquid, mystery substance? DARE WE DREAM!?!?
Now, in the retreating distance, we catch the wearied sight of
gigantic stone Busts of Mel, strikingly reminiscent of those
Easter Island monolith-heads, starkly staring and gazing
balefully toward uncharted, buttered-and-spicy seas.
POPN! Come back!
Return us to reveries of childhood days spent in theatre lobbies,
getting ourselves a treat!
All the Best to Everyone and whatever may remain of POPN!$

POP N GO was established in 1996 as a manufacturer of specialty vending and foodservice equipment that targets the $60 billion vending and snack foodservice market. The Company's patented award winning hot air popcorn machine has been received with great enthusiasm worldwide. The ability to pop a fresh cup of popcorn on demand either oil free or with a transfat free butter flavoring meets the ever growing demand in the market for healthy freshly prepared snacks. POP N GO's colorful design includes a moving color LED display and neon lights, which draws customers to the machine wherever it is placed.
Popcorn Industry:
Americans consume 16 billion quarts of popped popcorn annually or 54 quarts per man, woman and child. It is one of the most wholesome and economical foods available.
Approximately 70 percent is eaten in the home (home popped and pre-popped) and about 30 percent outside the home (theaters, stadiums, schools, etc.). Unpopped popcorn accounts for approximately 90 percent of sales for home consumption.
Major popcorn producing states are Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska and Ohio.
The peak period for popcorn sales is the fall. Sales remain fairly high throughout the winter months then taper off during the spring and summer. Popcorn is a popular snack with all age groups.
Popcorn Abroad
Most of the popcorn consumed throughout the world is grown in the United States. Although world-wide sales of popcorn are steadily increasing, Americans consume more popcorn than the citizens of any other country.
Demand for POP N GO machines has exploded in the school market as legislation requiring the removal of junk food has been passed. Pop N Go machines replace a lost revenue stream for schools while delivering a healthy whole grain snack that students and faculty enjoy. POP N GO has a proven worldwide appeal with machines exported to Canada, Mexico, Australia, England and other countries around the globe. Domestically, POP N GO has installed machines in a wide variety of locations
including McCarran International Airport, shopping malls, bowling alleys, military bases, hospitals, convenience stores and public schools. Many of the installations are installed under POP N GO's popular revenue sharing program that allows POP N GO and machine owners to share in the revenue produced by each machine and retain ownership of the asset.
Pop N Go's completely self-contained vending machine occupies a 24" x 24" space, and can fill a 46 ounce cup on demand with fresh, hot popcorn for each customer while allowing the customer to watch the popping process. Pop N Go's colorful exhibit includes a moving color LED display, neon lights, and big windows through which the popping process can be viewed. The combination of freshly cooked popcorn and a highly visible and entertaining display makes it attractive in diverse retail environments such as schools, hospitals, supermarkets, convenience stores, bowling alleys, bars, military bases, shopping malls and gas stations, to name a few.
