Corn Commentary

Popcorn with a Kick

With all the many flavors of gourmet popcorn out there, apparently no one perfected the pairing of two perennial party favorites until now.

A Kansas City college student named Cary Silverman has invented beer-flavored popcorn, according to a KMBC-TV story.

Pub Corn also comes in other alcohol flavors - like pina colada - but actually has no alcoholic content. After trying a variety of ways to flavor the snack - such as soaking the kernels in whiskey - the inventor finally partnered with a company that helped him develop a non-alcoholic alcohol flavoring.

There is a website for the product with a phone number to call for orders here at www.pub-corn.com.
