Didn't your mother ever tell you not to play with your food? If you never followed her advice, then at least now you can buy a bowl that gives you some justification. The Wild Fling Bowl from Wabash Valley Farms not only holds popcorn, but also comes with a basketball hoop and corresponding slingshot so that you can practice your aim with the fluffy snack.

The bowl also has a compartment to hold a remote control and soda can, although some users have said that the "holder for the remote control works OK, but the holder for a drink is only slightly useful. It's supposedly designed for a pop can, but putting a pop can in and out requires you to be somewhat careful." However, the same user also praised the design of the bowl, saying, "The compartment for the popcorn itself is a nice size and the bowl is shaped well to sit on a sofa pretty safely."

The plastic is washable with soap and water, dishwasher safe, and comes in two color combinations: red with orange and blue; or blue with green and purple. It's available for about $19.95, which you could probably earn back if you start placing bets on popcorn-based HORSE games with your friends.
