Kyle got these in today. Right now, they're sitting in the back room, ready to find a place out in the store.
"What is that?" I ask him.
"Glad Corn. An a-maizing corn snack. This stuff is addicting," he said of the semi-popped popcorn with several different flavors.
Here's the story about how this snack came to be, in the words of the makers themselves:
"Stan's desire to live independent of as many outside energy sources as possible has led him to other experimenting. It was a quiet night on our farm. Stan was in the kitchen, working on a new ethanol fuel recipe. Gladys was catching up on some reading. Stan stepped into the living room for a moment while a batch heated up on the stove. Suddenly, KABOOM! Stan and Gladys came running. There was exploded corn all over the kitchen! Being the inquisitive type, Stan was more interested in tasting the stuff than cleaning up or explaining to Gladys - though by now she had gotten somewhat used to this sort of thing. While it didn't look like much, he discovered that it was about the best tasting stuff he'd ever eaten!
Anyway, friends and neighbors soon heard our story and, after tasting some at a Christmas gathering, convinced us we were on to something BIG! A friend came up with the product name and behold, the GLAD CORN® brand A-Maizing Corn Snack was born!"
Who knows if this new snack will be as popular in Columbus as it is in Minnesota? I guess we'll find out soon enough. Stop in and try some. Let us know what you think. (Kyle's feelings won't be hurt if you don't like it; by the look of things, he would be quite content eating it all himself.)
where near the atlanta, ga area store might this snack be?
