Fathers Day

Father’s Day is our opportunity to let Dad know we appreciate everything that he has done for us. Why not do something he’ll appreciate? Give him one of our Fathers Day gift baskets or a popcorn machine and a variety of gourmet kernels that he might enjoy. Our unique popcorn gift tins and gourmet flavored selections will help you create the perfect personalized present for Dad.

Most Dad’s, and men in general, seem to fall into two categories: those that like a fancy new popcorn popper, and those that enjoy things that are classic looking, from a time long since past. Popcorn machines have an answer for both!

For the tech-gadget Dad, the more unique things a popcorn machine does, the better. Electric air popcorn machines fit this bill perfectly. Using air instead of oil, these machines put out a healthier product. They also give a better bang for your buck by leaving fewer unpopped kernels. We all know that every Dad likes getting their money’s worth.

For the Dad that appreciates a classic styles popcorn machine, try the whirly-pop style. Most are wood accented, metal poppers that cook directly on the stove top. These are also hand-powered. Every time popcorn is popped, the oil seasons the pan a little more. This will appeal to the Dad who knows things get a little better with time.

As for the kernels, the main varieties are small yellow, large yellow and white. Large yellow offers a larger coarser piece of popcorn. White is smaller and has a softer texture. Small yellow offers a middle ground between the two. You can also try some of the wild colored popcorn from your local specialty food or gift store. The kernels pop in reds, blues, greens and a rainbow of bold color. Even though they are wild in color, they are safe to eat.
