For those obsessed with popcorn, there is a new app designed just for you; the ‘Pop Dongle’ mobile phone accessory will emit the scent of buttery popcorn while you play on a mobile app.
Popcorn company Pop Secret developed this technology in conjunction with the company’s mobile game Poptopia. The intention is that you plug in Pop Dongle into the audio outlet of your smartphone as you play Poptopia. In the game, as you swipe the butter on the screen with your finger, the Pop Dongle releases the scent of freshly popped popcorn. The game is free and extremely addictive and may even make you drool a little.
