PopCorners
PopCorners[edit | edit source]
PopCorners are a type of snack food that are marketed as a healthier alternative to traditional potato chips and other fried snacks. They are produced by the company Frito-Lay, a division of PepsiCo. PopCorners are made from popped corn, similar to popcorn, but are shaped into a triangular form, resembling tortilla chips.
History[edit | edit source]
PopCorners were first introduced in the early 2010s by a company called Medora Snacks. The brand quickly gained popularity due to its unique texture and healthier profile compared to traditional snacks. In 2019, PopCorners was acquired by Frito-Lay, which expanded its distribution and marketing efforts.
Production Process[edit | edit source]
PopCorners are made using a proprietary process that involves popping corn kernels under high pressure. This process creates a light and airy texture, similar to popcorn, but with a distinct crunch. The popped corn is then shaped into triangles and seasoned with various flavors.
Flavors[edit | edit source]
PopCorners are available in a variety of flavors, catering to different taste preferences. Some of the popular flavors include:
- Sea Salt
- White Cheddar
- Sweet & Salty Kettle Corn
- Spicy Queso
- Sour Cream & Onion
Nutritional Information[edit | edit source]
PopCorners are marketed as a healthier snack option. They are typically lower in fat and calories compared to traditional fried snacks. They are also gluten-free and made with non-GMO corn. The nutritional content varies slightly depending on the flavor, but they generally contain around 120 calories per serving.
Marketing and Distribution[edit | edit source]
Since being acquired by Frito-Lay, PopCorners have been widely distributed across the United States and internationally. The brand has been promoted through various marketing campaigns, emphasizing its "better-for-you" snack qualities. PopCorners are available in most major grocery stores, convenience stores, and online retailers.
