A bunch of hot air

My children have never used, or apparently even seen one of these:

P-Man has been talking about hot air popped corn for some time. He is not a fan of microwave popcorn, and corn popped on the stove, in oil, just didn't hold the same appeal for him as the air popped. So we gave him one of these for Christmas.

Tonight he used it, and the kids reacted in the same way I imagine they'd act if a space ship landed on the front lawn. They were jostling each other for viewing position and laughing hysterically when the popping started.

It amused me, horrified me, and made me feel really old all at the same time.
