Without popcorn, nobody would go to movies, and evil microwaves would have time to commit acts of sabotage against other kitchen appliances. Covet the kernel with today's Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of popcorn at The Kopper Popper, located at the Summit Mall in Fairlawn.

The Kopper Popper's popcorn treats are handmade, with quality ingredients used to create quality eats. Taste the store's quarter-century-plus of morsel-making experience with Kopper Popper's more than 19 flavors of popcorn—one for each proton in potassium. The centerpiece of this crunchy pantheon is The Kopper Popper's signature caramel corn, made with premium brown sugar and real grade AA butter and kettle-cooked over the flicker of an open flame ($7.25 for large bag). The fruit mix, featuring seven flavors (banana, orange, strawberry, cherry, green apple, blue raspberry, and grape) of confetti-hued, candy-coated white popcorn ($7.75 for large bag), finds its happy home in the middle of a Venn diagram marked "flavor" and "color." Nut enthusiasts can revel in the Nutty Crunch, containing an all-star lineup of cashews, almonds, pecan halves, redskin peanuts, and jumbo popcorn coated in an extra-rich buttery caramel cloak ($12.95 for large bag). Those who prefer more fantastical flavorings can choose from a variety of The Kopper Popper's savory popcorn, including jalapeño, bacon & cheddar, nacho, and pizza ($7.25 for large bag of each). The indecisive seeker of taste hybrids can mix up to three flavors in a tin or bag for the cost of the most expensive variety.

Like scented candles or children, all varieties of popcorn are available in a range of sizes. Stop into the store's location at the Summit Mall in between holiday shopping for action figures and inaction figures, and fill up on a plethora of delicious poptions.
