Popcorn Without the Left Over Kernels
One new vendor didn’t have much luck at this year’s Popcorn Festival, but she thinks it’s just a matter of time before her new product takes off.
Deborah Boris, Rossford, is the inventor of a product called Kernels-B-Gone PLUS, a plastic disk that acts as a strainer for popcorn kernels. She was trying to market them at the festival, but said she had only sold a few in the three days she was in Marion.
She launched the product three weeks ago, less than three months after she decided she wanted to patent the idea after a friend found a cardboard contraption Boris had rigged up at Christmastime to separate kernels from popcorn she was making into caramel corn to give as gifts. It was just a piece of cardboard with holes punched in it taped to the sides of a bowl.
The entire process of starting a business went so smoothly for Boris, she said it couldn’t be fate. Once the company’s Web site is launched, the invention will be available for purchase online at www.sweetey-petey.com.
