Popcorn, Indiana 47462
Posted in daily on Jun 12th, 2007
Addiction. Spicy Honey Mustard Kettlecorn by the company Popcorn, Indiana. Flavor sensations for the mouth. Purchased at Canyon Market in Glen Park.
I had to investigate whether there really was a place named Popcorn. The packaging asserts, “Every mouthful of this amazing popcorn is a little visit to this tiny town, a real place called Popcorn, Indiana (20 miles southwest of Bloomington). . . .” If true, then there must still be goodness and magic in America.
Google Maps points to it here. The U.S. Postal Service doesn’t recognize the town, and attributes the Google-found ZIP code of 47462 instead to Springville, IN. Maybe it is marketing and fantasy, but how adorable would that be to have that as your return address? It is like living in a place called Donut Hole, Wyoming; Warm Puppy, California; or Snowflake, Vermont.
