i knew there was a legitimate reason
this stock was being held down,the wrong shorts can be very constrictive.
POPN BEING SHORTED!
i almost wet my pants,well,actualy i did,but that was just beer nuts.wait a minute,wasn't mel gonna market something like that?
You and Mel had something special! Too bad he left us all bent over with hands on our ankles.
How is POPN doing?
holy cow nabs
just take that wad of discarded foil and chew on it a while,kinda like beating your head against a wall,feels really good when you stop.there's an analogy there somewhere,but i lost my train of thought.
sif, guess i finally cave in. pathetic seems to be totally the correct word. i think i would rather be called an a-hole, or some other such insult - but if this is all there is, then this/he is just, well, Pathetic. really too bad.
laz
ya, I'm sitting on 20 mill... lol
I got around 5 Mil. in shares i will let go cheap? Any takers .0001? In a great popcorn machine company.
Mel likes you....a lot!
Mel will just tell you he's sorry to hear that and then try and sell you an old machine.......
LOLOlololol...Just did! Nothing to lose, PLENTY to HOPE FOR.
I even have brief, fleeting memories of POPCORN this morning!
Oh. Those were my toes I was nibbling-on.
j/k I am not quite as crazy as I sound, almost, sort-of.
Are we havin' FUN?
We is havin' FUN!
All the Best to Everybody and POPN!$
Hope this message find you well and all your body parts attached.
That's painful just reading that.
Send that to ol` SportMel
Let's hope Mel and POPN start POPPIN' again, or I am going
to insert the ventral regions of my left thigh into the
coin-slot of the 9000-Machine, endure the pain (as if the
"pain" of the past two years is not sufficient!), and watch
as my DNA is, itself, sizzled and broiled via long-shifted
electro-magnetic microwaves, into unrecognizable, charred,
crunchy little nubbles of indigestible charcoal.
I wrote that because, that simulates and emulates
exactly the reasoning, the reasons, the Logic, and the current
circumstances of POPN.
Perhaps next, I shall wad-up the tissues of my right pinkie-finger
like discarded aluminum foil, and insert THEM into the 9000-Machine
and watch the cool, blue, buzzing light show!
Bonni Bippen: "Lord, guide my grisly, hapless, crumbling
chariot to the beckoning Heavens without burden or baggage."
All the Best to Everyone and POPN!$
I like Mel!
Dude..You got me blocked
Tom should write about POPN machines and we might get off 0001 for maybe a brief moment....
..But Mels all out of shares and chilled so I guess that won't work.
Everytime i look at all those machines and where they sent all of them last year i wonder what the hell happen to this company. More Hot air than what it took to make those 46 Oz. popcorn cups of popcorn.
gotta give credit where credit's due
he's a pinkie pro,watch out for your buddy tom.
Yes Mel drilled us....
....and it was nice and slowwwwwww
mel still holds the patent
and is still in buisness,but obviously,not much sales.looks like obamanation is letting up a little on oil,might be time to look at small drilling companies,good for a quickie.
No it just don't trade anymore
I honestly gave up talking to Mel last year as he denies everything and ends up always trying to sell me something.
Sick of his ignorance.
AVT have also told that the machines are still for sale but they have nothing to do with Pop n gO ???
I sent him an email and actually got a response...for what its worth
Mel
Is it true that Pop n Go has gone bankrupt ? Are my shares now worthless ?

to me
No not true
anyone get hold of Mel , I would like to get hold of him by the........., Really where is this person who lied his way into everyone's pants pocket? GOD HAVE MERCY ON HIS SOUL, he does play a hard one to forgive. GOD HAVE MERCY ON US INVESTORS. .....may MEL come out of the wood work please. Please PLEASE.
won't try to argue with the math (i knew what you meant), though it still should be trading at 10x what it is now (which is still next to nothing, so why quibble). question is - what happened and why? it did not have to be this way, and all (including mel) would have made much more money if this was as portrayed and a bit more care taken and effort made. too bad for all of us - still irritating that the buck stops nowhere, and no one has the guts to man (or woman) up.
laz
Mel, we now understand what went wrong
oops,
sorry bout the math snafu,but you know what i mean.what can you expect from a wanna be gym teacher.
i don't know laz
if popn sells 10,000 machines a year for a 3000 profit per(total speculation) thats 30,000 profit.my guess is the os is close to 5 billion,at .0001 per,that puts the value of the company at half a mill.if popn was selling that many machines we would have heard about it,but it still doesn't add up,even if you double it.the money just isn't there,this stock is way over valued,only because it can not go any lower,i like mel,but this is a done deal.
Who will get news first POPN or POPM, POPM has been 3 years 'Popmail' and POPN "Pop n go" has been 1 years. Setting POPN at news to come first at a 5 to 1 favorite, and the over/under for any news of either company is 4.5 years. Might as well bet among us shareholders. I like the choice of a hustle takeover that was mentioned, although what would we do with the ten machines that where ever made, or not made.
yeah, it's hard to figure. but what makes it worse, and totally irritating, is the complete lack of any coherent and honest explanation. seems that there are some folks on this board (me excluded) who are pretty sharp, and perhaps could and might be willing to contribute in a manner which might move this along (certainly, there are such people out there in the real world). even if that is not viable, just the courtesy of a real explanation as to what has happened/is the status, would seem to be minimum humanity deserved - MEL (or someone on Mel's behalf), REALLY, is just that too much to ask? \
anyone have any ideas how to generate that, so we can at least get closure even if that is all there is? otherwise, this needlessly continues to drain positive energy from us all - energy which could be put to better use (and we could stop kicking innocent dogs - that's figurative, not literal, peta folks).
i know, the rote response is - "we can't reveal confidential info/developments, because it may hurt ongoing negotiations" (horse hockey).
laz
Yes, lazlotrade, my eye-POPples see that you have nailed-this-down
very well, with your listing of STILL EXISTING STRENGTHS and
attributes of POPN.
So...WHAT GIVES?
For once in my life...okay, the 3rd or 4th time in my life...
I am completely baffled, bamboozled, and flummoxed about this
Company, its REALLY NICE Product, Mel, and lots of additional matters.
And so, I Hold. Like, what other alternative IS there?
I think I'll wander into the little kitchen and POP a bag of POPCORN.
POPCORN??
Oh, NOW I remember what that is...
I wonder what percentage of shares we own as stockholders? Maybe we can take control of the company and run it ourselves. I'd invest more if I thought we could get this project off the ground and make some sales. It's too bad because I agree that this was a fantastic business model, just poor management.
well, per our board and outside comment:
+ popcorn is a relatively healthy snack even popular in india (world's 2nd most populous country)
+ the machines are great machines (according to any reviews)
+ there is a demand for the product
+ this stock is value waiting to happen
+ only thing lacking is a ceo/board with some business acumen and and interest, with enough financial respect to obtain minimal financing to get production and shipment going (perhaps loan partially convertible to equity - some risk, but we're not talking billions here)
if mel is doing nothing, his shares might be picked up for peanuts - something is better than nothing to him, and this venture moved along - it is all in place, including vehicle for manufacturing/distribution
+ and, there is no bankruptcy (just thought i would throw that in)
laz
(all of this begs the questions - what in the hell has happened and what in the hell has mel been doing? i would like to know the truth just from a curiosity standpoint - we all got sucked in on this very logical portrayal. any one really know? MEL?)
dose out the pop-to-bismal. what happened to the business? need a shot in the arm ....this is really disappointing.....................sh__________________________t.
crap..............explains it.
this popn gives me a stomach ache. ..............................
Were you thinking about putting more money into poop'n'go?
gee wiz laz
you sure make it tuff for a guy to pump,i'm all out of bullets now.
naw, not filing BK is neutral; why spend the money (whose money?) unless there is something to protect - if there is nothing, most of the time nothing is done; lawsuits, phone calls, inquiries go unanswered, and orders go unfilled. sound familiar?
sadly (but with yet an illogical glimmer), laz
ever seen those rolls of toilet paper
that look like money?right now,that would be a better use of a few hundred wipes.
Wish there was more volume.
I was looking to throw a few $100 at this ...
i guess it's positive
that he hasn't filed bk,but you aren't going to see any news until a rs or share increase.what's the point?pinkies sell stock,products come second,or sometimes not at all,baby.
if popn is still in business why do we not hear a word...been awhile. sad..............even in tough times people will spend a buck on popcorn ...fill that hungry stomach for a reasonable price. satisfy the taste buds and curb those muncies with low calories for those who just have to put something in the mouth at all times... to bad a good thing has not been brought to fruitation. has this cash machine pooped out? come........ on someone make this pop up.
Jealousy gets you nowhere!
You need to get one for yourself...

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.
The many benefits of Pop N Go products include:
