ABSTRACT:
An elongated, trough-like utensil for eating buttered popcorn by scooping it from a container. Long enough to reach into a deep container, one end of the utensil includes a finger stop which can be held between the middle and index fingers. The finger stop also forms a dam to prevent grease or melted butter on the popcorn from coming into contact with the fingers. Distal from the stop, the trough has a rounded end which provides a smooth surface to facilitate thrusting the trough into popcorn. Near the rounded end, the bottom of the trough defines an aperture of sufficient size to allow unpopped kernels of corn to escape from the trough before they can slide down it and into a user's mouth.
