: It sprays the popcorn as it's being tossed in the air or stirred, ensuring a micro-thin coating on every piece without weighing it down or making it chewy. 2. "Acoustic-Pop" Smart Sensor

: A built-in ultrasonic atomizer that turns liquid seasonings (like butter, truffle oil, or salt-brine) into a fine mist.
