Gourmet Popcorn from Premier PopcornPopcorn, as we know it today, really grew into popularity during the late 1800s. Think about that for a moment - a snack we all still enjoy on a regular basis has been around for hundreds of years, and hasn’t lost its touch. In fact, it’s safe to say that popcorn has continued to grow and expand in popularity over the years. So, what makes this traditional snack withstand the test of time? The answer is simple: Variety. When popcorn first came into play to the public, it was exciting enough. Warm, freshly popped corn was perfectly snackable and easy to eat. Add a bit of salt and butter, and it’s actually a pretty healthy indulgence we can feel good about eating. Popcorn is associated with movie theaters, baseball games, and simply put - childhood. Throughout the 20th century, and well into the 21st century, things started to shift a bit. People across the United States were diving into different flavor profiles more than ever before. We were craving new flavors and combinations in almost all of our food. Consider the ‘Cronut,’ for example. While traditional snacks will undoubtedly stick around, people are becoming more daring and adventurous with their food. Popcorn, thankfully, is no exception.
