The kernel
Edward and Agnes Sieg planted ten acres in Ramsey, Indiana, in 1944. Sons launched the Cousin Willie's character in the 1960s. Third generation still runs Ramsey Popcorn Co. IBJ's Made in Indiana piece is the sourced family record.
The pot
The pot is a farm-packed microwave butter bag. The Takeout's butter ranking put Buttery Explosion first, ahead of Kirkland. Amazon microwave search carries the boxes.
Hulls
Hulls are farm yellow, not a hull-less heirloom. Loud butter, not a dental intermission fix. Still a popcorn house.
