Popcorn: the American Gift
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010You only have to glance at hard numbers to realize how popcorn stands in the nation’s wants. An amazing 1.000.000.000 pounds of unprepared kernels changed hands across the tills of domestic stores in just one year. So if you want some, order from the biggest in the market - sending upwards of a million pounds per year to fans of gourmet popcorn balls. For three decades, the firm has presented the nation with this tasty foodstuff in all manner of colorful flavors and presentations. You require the best ingredients to prepare the best popcorn, so the Factory searches through the domestic corn to buy the best available. Then, corn oil comes into play, popping the kernels to permit flavorings to infuse straight into the fluffy flesh. And that fresh taste? To maintain it, straight after preparation, the popcorn is efficiently sealed up and shipped. Their tins make a great gift, sized for two and a half and six gallons and packed full. Just one of these is large enough to last one person or a small family for a number of films or feed a group of employees at a company. Plain, as you’d expect, and buttered - but they’re also on sale in banana cream pie or white chocolate raspberry.
And if these should be beyond your price range? No need to worry - boxes are also possibilities. These are sent out ornamented to feature your preferred topic including “thank you”, Hanukkah, birthdays, a favorite sports team, et al. If none of these will quite do, investigate having the package customized with a comic image, clever missive, or just the recipient’s name.
There are those who know their favorite flavor and choose to merely go for a single large tin. You could alternatively buy a sampler or perhaps an assortment package. If you need to acquire more than just a small portion of several types, then towers are the wisest option. While they offer predesigned towers, one can also select what each box will hold in a given tower. You can have popcorn delivered in practically any flavor you’re likely to want from them. And with their decoration, too, they make great presents. We’re confident that this column has opened up plenty of novel gift ideas.
