Abstract
A popcorn kernel popping machine permits a user to insert a popcorn kernel/flavor pod therein and obtain an evenly flavored popcorn product. The popcorn pod can include not only the popcorn kernels, but also liquid and/or solid flavorings which can be distributed to the popped kernels as they exit the popper, thereby coating the popped kernels evenly with the desired flavoring(s). In some embodiments, a popped kernel collection container can be rotated to evenly collect the popped kernels therein during operation of the popcorn popper.
