Disposable Popcorn Bowls

Orville Redenbacher has created an amazing new product that is a slight twist on the company's existing microwave popcorn bags. I learned about this invention from a commercial but initially thought nothing of it. Then, I inadvertently bought some.

Instead of opening the popcorn bag at the end, you open it on the side so the bag becomes a bowl.
Pretty clever, but it feels so obvious that I now wonder why it hasn’t been done before.

This bowl solves the persistent problem I have had with bags of popcorn: I always have to pour the contents into a bowl so my knuckles aren't coated in slimy butter and gritty salt as I grab handfuls of popcorn. Now I don’t need an extra bowl, and only my fingertips get gunky.  Those are much easier to lick clean. =)
