Popcornopolis

The kernel

Popcornopolis sells small-batch cones: caramel, zebra, assortments. Amazon gourmet and popcorn searches were full of the 12-count and 40-count multipacks. Consumer Reports ordered a tin; the lid came off in transit and the company did not replace it.

The pot

This is shop popcorn in a cone, not a Tuesday pot. Later coverage puts the brand under Grupo Bimbo / Barcel. We did not open a Bimbo release for this file, so parent stays lightly held. Founders in later profiles are Wally and Kathy Arnold, 2003 — treat as secondary until the brand about page is opened.

Hulls

Hulls sit under a coating. You are buying caramel and chocolate, not a variety lesson.

Company

Cone bags. Caramel and zebra. A Bimbo snack now, still sold as gourmet cones.

Founder
