Benefits of technology

The present invention provides containers and bags with openings that can be opened and closed without the contents spilling out. This technology prevents any inconvenience or safety issues that might arise when opening and closing these containers.

Problems solved by technology

However, because the popcorn is already dispensed in the container before being given to the customer, the customer can only apply additional flavoring to the popcorn kernels at the top of the container, leaving the kernels in the middle and the bottom of the container without butter or flavoring.
However, in order to do so they would have to go back to a centrally located butter dispenser, causing them to miss part of the entertainment event.
