Richness-Indicating Popcorn Branding

The Pop Secret Butter Meter Helps Shoppers Make Decisions

The Pop Secret Butter Meter has been introduced by the brand as a branding initiative to help shoppers better identify the snack product for them when perusing store shelves. The branding initiative will be observed across the brand's microwave popcorn range including Movie Theater Popcorn, Double Cheddar and Homestyle Sea Salt, which offer a rich to light flavor experience. The branding update could help to cut down in indecision amongst shoppers who might be unsure which product suits their specific needs or cravings.

Vice President of Marketing at Out Home Megan Osowski spoke on the Pop Secret Butter Meter saying, "The launch of Pop Secret’s ready-to-eat line and the Butter Meter reflect our focus on convenience and customization. We’re continuing to evolve the brand to meet changing snacking habits.”
