I’ll need it on election night.
LOL, we will need lotsa popcorn as we enjoy watching the liberals meltdown
There’s another growing season between now and then............
Darn, with all the Democrat Debates coming up too.

It’s the democrat primary that’s going to put excess demand on popcorn.
I’m sure they got that ethanol corn planted OK.
Shouldn’t come as any surprise.
‘We’ warned everyone to stock up.
Maybe they did, causing a shortage.
Of course, no one ‘mentioned’ the approval for more ethanol did they? (I know, I know....but may as well have some ‘fun’)
About the only things comparable in profitability are soaps/shampoos/detergents and bottled water. There, the most expensive things are the containers.
Exactly. I’m sure the ethanol corn is healthy and robust.
I love popcorn but horrible for teeth and digestion. God help you if a kernel gets stuck in your throat. I’ve had that happen and it’s terrible.
“Exactly. I’m sure the ethanol corn is healthy and robust.”
And ready to prematurely destroy the seals in my engine, and give me less MPG.
"...popcorn shortage..."
Hey DS,
I’m a Jiffy Pop fan.

“The popcorn sold at movie theaters makes way more money for the operators than the movie.”
Absolutely true. I worked at a four-plex movie theatre back in the early to mid 80’s. I can’t remember the exact margin between cost to make it and the price it was sold at - but it was frickin’ huge!
“Wait. So we recover from the profound heartbreak of the alleged avocado shortage and now THIS potential tragedy besets us?”
My advice to you is to start drinking heavily.
Wow! I won the commodity game for once. I picked up a 24 pack of 6oz Great Northern Popcorn Co. Kettle ready packs a few weeks back. I’m rich! (Dang good Theater tasting Popcorn to boot)
LoL!
The Strategic Artificial Butter Reserve is still topped off though, so no need to panic just yet.
If the wet blanket ‘rain gods’ were sent on a mission to destroy the popcorn crop, you know the show is going to be good.
