Jolly Time Kettle Corn
Submitted by Konstantine Simakis
Imagine if popcorn blew a dope line of snow and you'll begin to understand the addictive allure of kettle corn, a fatty snack that's a lot like normal popcorn except, what the hell? It tastes like candy, and leaves you with a sugary postnasal drip. And don't even try to figure out how they get it to do that. Trust me, I've tried.
Until recently, kettle corn was a curio available only at fairs, freak shows, and other summertime special occasions—but thanks to the sticks-in-the-mud at so-called Jolly Time, now you can pop a batch of kettle corn in the microwave whenever you goddamned please. So go ahead! Stuff handfuls of it into your mouth in the middle of February! While you're at it, listen to Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" on repeat! Yeah, you're desecrating the sanctity of American seasonal tradition, but what do you care, you pinko scum?
In other news, my car died today.
How annoying.

Date: 2004-04-21 09:44 am (UTC)I had regular popping corn last night on which I put both nutritional yeast and [vegan] parmesan. And then my tummy felt a little bad this morning because that's bascially all I ate. Oops.
