The classic popcorn machine was patented by Charles Cretor in 1893, and became popular on street corners, movie houses, and carnivals. Today, most movie theaters continue to use the classic red design that’s been so popular for 100 years. Wouldn’t it be great to have this in your den or kitchen?
This popcorn cart from a company called Nostalgia is a close match to the Animal Crossing version. It doesn't just look great, it pops real popcorn in exactly the same way the street versions use, complete with its own built-in stirring system. Just put oil, corn, and optionally, seasoning in a kettle and then watch the glass fill up with popcorn. Scoop it out and enjoy.
