Pop N Go Acquires Majority Control of Microwave Roasters
Whittier, CA- Pop N Go (OTCBB: POPN), announced today that it has acquired majority control of Microwave Roasters, Inc.(MRI) This transaction is being effected by Pop N Go acquiring newly issued shares of MRI. MRI will use the invested funds to further develop its unique line of microwave snacks.
Microwave Roasters produces a unique, patented line of microwave snacks, including Micro Rinds (microwave pork skins), MicrOrings (microwave onion rings) and Micro Bak'n (a bacon- flavored microwave chip). All MRI products are very low in fat, calories, and carbs. These products "pop" in the home, office or store microwave oven in 45-90 seconds. The unique process guarantees the consumer the freshest taste and quality. MRI products are also priced competitively in the marketplace.

Pop N Go manufactures and sells unique vending machines that "pop" popcorn and dispense it warm and fresh to consumers. Pop N Go machines are in operation in schools, hospitals, malls and other high traffic areas.
Steve Grossman, President of Microwave Roasters, is delighted with the strategic partnership. "MRI and Pop N Go both specialize in providing the public with fresh, warm, and healthy snacks. There is a national demand for fresh and healthy snacks and both companies address this demand. As we grow together, our respective products should achieve national and international prominence and the financial backing of Pop N Go will enable us to compete in all channels of trade."
Mel Wyman, CEO of Pop N Go, adds "We have been closely monitoring MRI's progress as they continue to penetrate the snack market. We are pleased that MRI's products are being sold in some of the biggest retailers in America. As we continue to partner with vending operators for placement of Pop N Go's popcorn vending machine, we will be introducing the vend-pack single serving of MRI's products to the vending industry.
