<-------- As you command, Lovey.

Ok just had to say that - I would have loved to have seen Vader call the emperor Lovey. It would have added a whole new dimension to the films.

Re: Popper Bling

It sits firmly inside the plastic at the top. The photo below shows my inner bling - you can just see the edge of the plastic as a thin black line.

Have I tried it out? How could I not!

Bali Ganung Batur, Mt Elgon and Brazil have all been Blinged. Once Blinged theyll be blended and the bling blend shall be known as Balibrazblingon.

Re: Popper Bling

Hmm... nice bling there

Just wondering does the muffler go right down the popper nearly covering the air vents or does it just sit on top of the popper?

Re: Popper Bling

Smell the smoke of the beans! See the flashing shiny chrome! Its the dawn of a New Era! But instead of Hot Rod cars itll be Hot Mod poppers! ;D 8-)

Ok - I finally had to go in search of some Bling for my popper.
I took myself off to the muffler shop in search of bling goodness and tucking the popper under my arm, I strode into the store like a 19 year-old on a mission to turn a Datsun 180B into the ultimate badass street machine (an impossible task, but hey its my story).

The muffler tip tree gleamed chromily in the evening twilight and I was drawn, mesmerised to the gleaming fruit. I started picking tips and trying them for popper fit, but it wasnt looking too good.

"Can I help you?" she asked, in dulcet tones

Ah ha! I thought, the Bling Valkeries are here.

"Yes please, I need some Bling for my popper"

"Ahhhhhh. . ."

This response from my Angel of Bling (ok she was getting on in years but as you will see she knew her bling from her blong), this response required an explanation, and this was extensive, with gesticulations, smelling of the coffee goodness in my popper and several raised eyebrows.

"Why buy one of those" she said, glancing derisively at the chrome temptations, "we can make you what you need right here in our workshop - follow"

Eyes glazing, I followed out to a paradise of steel and stainless steel piping, visions of a multitude of roasting innovations swept through me, but I steeled myself to the task at hand (yes, that was bad wasnt it).

Calipers were produced, and Chad (my new Bling Lord) carefully measured the aperture of my B&D and selected a length of soon-to-be-bling stainless steel tube.

This was artfully crafted to fit snugly into my popper.

In awe I stared at the masterpiece, hesitated, then asked "how much?"

"$10"

Lets just say theyll be getting a little coffee tomorrow.

And Thus I have risen above those mere mortals who sink to using Golden Circle tins (ok, yes that was me until an hour ago) and I am now Grendel, leader of the lost socks, Dark lord of the Suet and Master of Bling!

Oh, and coffee snob.
