Popcorn Boxes and Coffee Cups

My synapses are firing in lots of interesting ways today. Here are a couple ideas that are percolating. I'd value help with these ideas. I'd love for someone to turn hope me them into reality.

Idea #1

I have an idea for a unique coffee cup that would be a fun "signature" for Ebenezers. I'm often torn between two drinks when I'm thirsty. Could we design a cup with a divider down the middle that would enable people to order two drinks in one cup with two sippy holes. I think we'd need someone to engineer it and design it. But I think it'd be a fun feature. I think we could use the two-dimensional cup for hot drinks or smoothies. And it'd be sort of fun for people out on a date to order one cup, but still enjoy the hygiene of two holes. Imagine the romantic possibilities :)

Idea #2

We use a popcorn box for our connection point. We put all of our "goodies" (including an individually wrapped bag of microwave popcorn) in the box. And we give it to guests. I'm seeing two adaptations. I'd love to design a popcorn box that we can mail our resources in. I'd want it to look and feel authentic. It'd have to be a stronger box and make space for address info. But I'm seeing "Fresh Popcorn, delicious, crisp" on it. I think it'd be a fun way for theaterchurch.com to mail stuff. I'd also like to design a book cover that looks like a popcorn box. Please don't steal this idea :) I think it'd scream "buy me" or at least "notice me." And I'm seeing a "scratch-n-sniff" on it :)

I'd welcome any ideas on engineering or manufacturing either of the above!

I sound like a mad scientist don't I? For what it's worth, my kids sometimes say, "You're weird, Dad" when I say something or do something crazy. And I respond "thank you" of course! Normality is overrated. I've had enough or normality!
