An odd project I'm considering.
« on: February 22, 2006, 12:48:34 am »
I'm considering building a popcorn vending machine, kinda like this one.

Really basic. really not much to it. A box, enclosing a heating coil, motor, and chute. On top would be a glass bowl, where the popcorn would stay. I know they used to sell similar machines at Coinopwarehouse. What do you think?

wouldn't be that bad. Use an air popper as opposed to oil. Only pop whenI would use the popcorn

I bet that thing doesn't pop its own corn. They probably use the bulk pre-popped corn you get from Sam's Club or Costco.
