Back in 1939, inventor Aston Moore proposed a new popcorn container for moviegoers, which added the convenience of a built in napkin dispenser. Similar to a cereal box, the cardboard container was lined with a wax paper bag for the popcorn; the napkin was housed below the bag and accessed via a small slit in the box. There is no evidence Mr. Moore’s invention was ever implemented to any significant extent (if at all); likely reflective of the increased manufacturing costs involved with the concept.
