• Level 1: Pop Practice. It’s important to start small with popcorn. There are no penalties for misses here, since the corn is light and doesn’t collect much dust if it hits the ground. This is a baby step and will take time to master, but it’s an important rite of passage before hitting the next levels. This level also covers marshmallows and Cheerios. (+5 points)
• Level 2: The Grape Beyond. Yup, next step is big ol’ grapes. Usually someone on the other end of the couch is munching a vine in their own little bowl. If you’re feeling a bit hungry, simply drop your mouth and tap the couch cushion while saying “Uhn! Uhn! Uhnnnnn!” to get their attention. Soon a cold, hard grape should be flying at you fast. If the toss is good, make sure you catch it perfectly. Raspberries and strawberries are in Level 2 as well. (+10 points)
• Level 3: Dog On A Bone. This extremely advanced move involves catching something larger than your entire mouth. An apple, peeled orange, or corn on a cob are good targets. You need to time the molar chomp perfectly and be prepared for embarrassing T-shirt stains and occasional black eyes. (+25 points)
