Abstract
A microwave popcorn container for recreational use and a method of making and dispensing popcorn using the same. The microwave popcorn container has an outer casing substantially transparent to microwave radiation and resembles either a playball or novelty configuration having an interior space therein. When exposed to microwave radiation, corn kernels contained within the interior space of the outer casing burst into popcorn filling the outer casing. The microwave popcorn container may be used in a variety of recreational activities and when desired, popcorn can be dispensed therefrom and consumed. In the illustrative embodiment of the present invention, microwave popcorn containers resembling an elongated football, a substantially spherical playball and a novelty turtle are disclosed.
