Popcorn is currently a single food item and you crunch the whole dam thing box included. Imagine if there was a popcorn system where shaving a corn cob gets you a bunch of kernels, letting you cook popcorn with optional butter, salt etc. Kernels would be a singular item that fills a tub when clicked into it, then a tub will get actual singular popcorns that you take out one by one.

Yes entirely on the basis I'm going to use the combustion chamber to cook a ton of kernels.
Bonus points if completely separate to this system, you can get the old "Pan" style popcorn bags so I can hang them up as a fire alarm detector like the old joke.

Big fan of the idea, also the popcorn bucket could probably use a touchup on the visual side of things. Also adds the possibility of other bucket based foods like fried chicken.

This is a really minor issue that plauges alot of chefs dishes, for example, salad has the same issue of eating the bowl. Fixing this seems like it would take a long time.

I've gone ahead and coded this myself, so leave any feedback here or in the PR!
