"I saw some students sneaking alcohol into the movie theater while they're eating their popcorn," says Pub-Corn creator Cary Silverman in this CNN Video report. Though my initial thought would be to manufacture some sort of popcorn bucket-shaped flask, or simply to stop these student and explain to them the value of a good Thermos, I guess that's why becoming an inventor isn't as easy at it looks.

In the video, the University of Missouri student explains a few of the trials and tribulations he went through to create this non-alcoholic beer-flavored popcorn snack which also comes in Irish Cream and Pina Colada. Additionally, for a 25 cent premium, you can get your Beer Flavored Pub-Corn colored green for St. Patrick's Day. All varieties of Pub-Corn, including a variety pack, are available for sale on Pub-Corn's website.

What will Cary think of next? Possibly a more aerodynamic Milk Dud that can be better thrown at the screen during Michael Bay films? We can only hope.

Interesting. Reminds me of Beer Chips: http://beerchips.com/index.php?page=home . We'd found a couple variations at Whole Foods, the original flavor and a margarita version. Both did have a slight beer flavor along with a sweet/salty taste.

I remember a very similar product back in the 70's called "John L's Bar Food".
