We made a POPCORN CANNON!

That's right. You read correctly.

While Henry and Jane munched on their snack of apple slices and popcorn, my mind turned to an engineering problem: how to get this crunchy, salty corn airborne.

I made a paper cone just big enough to hold one piece of popcorn. I taped it to the air spout of Henry's Super Slammer (a toy that shoots an airplane across the room when you pound on a small plastic bellows).

Voila. A Popcorn Cannon.

We took turns firing popcorn into each other's mouths for nearly an hour. Imagine the giggling.

Then, the inevitable cleanup of the floor ('cause we missed..... a lot).

But how can you make $50K a year doing this?

Uh, sell the idea for $50K. Seems obvious.
