...tarting it up into a premium product. Dale and Thomas sells more than 100 popcorn flavors, from Chocolate Chunk N' Caramel to Sweet Georgia Pecan, and each bowl can by customized with "pop-ins"--sweets like fudge or jelly beans that customers can add to their popcorn. A regular- size bag with the works costs about $6. "Popcorn is a commodity," Struhl says. "We made it into an experience...

The gun's rounds are about the same size as a .30-06 hunting rifle's, and it is capable of firing only where the V-22 has been - not where it's going - and only when the ramp used by Marines to get on and off the aircraft is lowered.
