Sven innovations

What I'm giving you here is the process that's heading to the patent office as soon as all of the paperwork is complete. This highly innovative process will change your world completely, giving you greater efficiency in your daily living. Interested yet? Read on...

Every great invention begins with a great need. What is the need here? Well, it's one of the greatest problems that I run into several times a week. Why do those flippin' popcorn kernels never pop all the way, and Why do they ruin my entire popcorn eating experience!?!?!?! I'm sure you all can relate to my distress: biting into unpopped kernels; unpopped kernals sitting in the bottom of an empty bag, calling you to chew on them, though you know you'll break a tooth on them; etc. Anyway, I've developed a system that greatly reduces and nearly eliminates this problem. Unfortunately, this process only works with microwave popcorn (sorry sj). However, the great usefulness of this process highly outweighs the problems of going out of your way to make yourself available to microwave popcorn. The process is simple and takes a minimal amount of steps. Here is my life's great discovery in its entirety:

Step 1: Pop your popcorn as instructed on the microwave popcorn bag
Step 2: Using caution (gloves may be used for safety) grab diagonal corners of the opening side of the bag and tug gently to open a small slit in the top.
note: many popcorn bags do not require this tugging motion as a small slit is already present at the top
Step 3: Over some type of waste disposal receptacle, turn the bag upside-down and shake up and down rapidly. This will allow the kernels to exit the bag while retaining the popped kernels.
note: the kernels will be hot and may melt thin plastic, use caution when shaking into garbage bags
Step 4: Open the bag completely and enjoy your dekernaled popcorn!!

I'll be selling the patent to the highest bidder in the popcorn business. Once that happens you'll want to buy your stocks in that business, because big things will be happening!
