Opopop is launching a microwave popcorn product called Flavor Wrapped Popcorn Kernels and they're poised to shake up the snack category as the world's first pre-flavored popcorn kernels. Each and every kernel is individually wrapped in flavor before popping so that no individual piece of popcorn goes without flavor.
There are six flavors that are being introduced that remix classics like Fancy Butter, Salted Umami and Vanilla Cake Pop. The popcorn packs are set to be available to consumers via D2C distribution within the next few days and Opopop is promising to bring in "the popcorn revolution" with its pre-flavored microwave popcorn product.
According to the brand, the Flavor Wrapped Popcorn Kernels represent "the first major innovation in popcorn since the invention of the air popper in the late 70s."
