While undeniably delicious, microwave popcorn isn't always the healthiest snack -- but Jolly Time is looking to change that. The Jolly Time Butter and Jolly Time Butter Light Microwave Popcorn varieties are produced by The American Pop Corn Company using the patented 'Smart Balance' blend of oils.
The Smart Balance oil blend delivers the delicious melted, buttery goodness that Jolly Time's consumers have grown to love, but with none of the trans fat and hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils. The oils contain a unique blend of polyunsaturated, monounsaturated and saturated fats. When incorporated with a balanced diet, this special blend of fats can help maintain healthy cholesterol levels.
The Jolly Time microwave popcorn retails in three-pack boxes with a suggested retail price of $2.69. Individual bags are also available for 50 cents each.
