🍿 So what is a popcorn cannon?
It is a fun toy you can make at home, simply by taping a balloon to the end of an empty toilet paper roll. You put some popcorn inside the tube, pull back the tied end of the balloon, and then… let go.
When you release it, the popcorn shoots into the air like a mini cannon! 🎉
Doesn’t it sound like fun?
Audience members at The Invention Show were given bags containing all the stuff needed to make the cannon and had just 5 minutes to assemble them. 😬
As the adrenaline kicked in, kids and their parents scrambled to tape their balloons, fill their tubes, and get their popcorn ready to launch.
Laughter and excited shrieks filled the room as some cannons fired perfectly, sending popcorn flying in the air, while others needed a little tweaking…
And when the time was up, the air burst with delicious popcorn! 🚀
