Snack to the Future: The Col-Pop, an All-in-One Chicken Nugget and Soda Cup: The Colpop

Because stuffing your face with deep fried fatballs and high fructose corn syrup out of two separate containers is just too inconvenient.

I'm so proud to say that I serve these on a daily basis.

Yes, I work at BBQ Chicken. I love life.

hi adam,
I am wondering if I can use these photos to publish in a student newspaper? Or are they copyrighted somewhere? If there's any way you can get back to me tonight (Wed 3/19)/, please please do!

The possibilities are endless! Make it like a hot/cold thermos with separated bins, and a built in straw, dishwasher safe. Can be huge, as long as the bottom fits into the average sized cupholder in a vehicle. There must be a sturdy handle for true one handed comfort. Snap on holders can always be purchased separately. Maybe KFC will give you a free drink refill if you buy the container from them and pay for a ______ refill? Or better yet, the movie theater could sell it for $100 with free popcorn for a week!

I'm imagining strolling on the boardwalk, walking around the state fair. Heck, I could hold it with one hand on the roller coaster, while the other is covering my screaming mouth!

@LunaPierCook: You better patent that idea now.

@SpiffySpiff: It's a 32-ounce cup. Last few times I've rented cars, the cupholders held 32-ounce cups with no problem. It's almost the standard size these days. A 64-ounce cup, though, then we'd have probs.

But what's the point if it doesn't fit in an average car cupholder? These are brilliant for road warriors. But based on the photos and video of the guy holding it, I'd say you're just SOL ordering one of these at a drive-thru. Or does the guy just have really small hands? I mean, where do you put the thing as you drive, in the glove box, on the floor, in your crotch? This is vital information for anyone who really, really takes crap food, and crap eating seriously!

"These would be perfect for the movie theater. Except that little bucket wouldn't hold enough popcorn."

@Adam: You're just not thinking outside the box. I can see it now ... an outer cup the size of a chicken bucket. Inside, 64 oz of overly-sugared diuretic, with a bin lid holding a fairly substantial amount of faux butter, sodium granules and maybe some popped corn ... Taking it another step, one could actually subdivide this extra-large cup either with glued waxpaper separators or, better yet, three pie-shaped bins for three individual flavors of the diuretic in one cup. The bin could also be subdivided, with popcorn in a large bin, Junior Mints in a small bin ... With such a large outer cup the possibilities become endless. I'm thinking a pair of coney dogs with a side of fries, all in their own shaped spaces, with small bins for ketchup and mustard ... oh yeah, this is indeed cool.

When I first saw the container, my immediate thought was one of my favorite childhood snacks, Yan Yan.

Way back when I was in college, most of my meals on campus were eaten on the run, while walking to class, be it sandwiches, fresh ramen, cioppino, sushi, etc. I would forgo the drink and purchase one after my meal and drink it in class.

A cup and a box versus a cup with an insert. If you're going to partake in those combos anyway, it actually looks like it would reduce the volume of rubbish left in landfills...

It's a nifty idea - great for people on the move. Oh, I would have so loved this in college - yakisoba, curry, chili, kalbi, ...

I think that they really should included a little compartment on the top in which to house a dipping sauce container.

Made my day. Awesome. Like NYminknit, my mind immediately went to cocktail party. Oh, yeah...

@NYminknit: I like the idea of filling a 32-ounce paper drink cup with fine wine and filling the little plastic bin with a selection of cheeses. Truly classy. I think Bar Boulud should adopt the Col-Pop container. Also: Those gadgets. Did you use one? I thought about it but then had a vision of easily tipped wineglass. I don't trust those things.

Yay! More disposable plastic crap housing poisonous "food" to fill up our landfills and clog our arteries.

They should market these to those fancy wine and cheese party-throwers. I can never juggle my canape and my drink effectively. (PS perhaps you can compare these to the Bar Boloud drink clipper gadgets they were using the other day.)
