Laura McQuarrie — September 17, 2025 — Marketing
Nostalgic popcorn brand Pop Secret is reviving the 90s with its Pop Secret hotline, hosted by Melissa Joan Hart, named Pop Secret's first-ever Chief of Butter. Through October 31st, fans can dial 1-844-SPILL-PS to hear Pop Secret's Chief of Butter's own secret, share secrets of their own, and listen to what others have already confessed.
As part of the experience, fans can vote for their favorite secrets with the interactive Butter Meter, and crown the most popcorn-worthy stories. Already, some snackers have confessed to hiding candy to keep it away from their kids, while others say they're going for a run, but actually retreat to their car and eat instead. Beyond getting just a juicy scoop, participants can claim exclusive offers with Pop Secret's Spill Everything campaign.
