Los Angeles, California (2023) - Popcorn is one of America's most popular and oldest snacks that has been enjoyed for centuries by the Azteca culture. In fact, the oldest popped kernels were found in New Mexico and carbon-dated to be approximately 5,600 years old! Most popcorn is “air popped” at high heat. Kettle Corn is traditionally prepared in a cast iron kettle. The corn kernels are popped in a heated mixture of oil, sugar, and salt. As the kernels pop, they are coated with a noticeably sweet crust. Melissa’s Kettle Corn program supplies the retailer with a year around supply packaged in various display-ready, seasonal themes to support in-store promotions.
Melissa’s Reindeer Munchies, available only in November and December, features a festive Christmas theme package filled with brightly colored green and red kernels will that support other holiday display motifs throughout the store during this season.
