# Savory Popcorn Pairings Kettle Krave Offers Snack Flavors Like Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2019-01-14 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popcorn-pairing References: [foodbusinessnews.net](https://www.foodbusinessnews.net/articles/13144-exotic-fruits-sea-greens-trending-at-the-winter-fancy-food-show) & [thepopcornfactory](https://www.thepopcornfactory.com/valentine-kettle-corn-tpf-69065) At the Winter Fancy Food Show, The Popcorn Factory shared innovations from its Kettle Krave range of ready-to-eat snacks that features standout popcorn pairings. Kettle Krave brings together two differently flavored kinds of kernels in a single bag, which introduce unique flavor experiences. Some of the unique options available from the Kettle Krave range include popcorn pairings like grilled cheese and tomato soup, maple and bacon or buffalo wing and creamy ranch. Although popcorn is commonly layered with one sweet ingredient on top of another, Kettle Krave offers an entirely different experience centered around savory flavors and favorite food combinations. With many consumers seeking out gourmet popcorn, chips and other snack products, this ready-to-eat range is poised to satisfy those with an appetite for something new. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Savory Popcorn Pairings:** Opportunity to create unique and indulgent flavor combinations for ready-to-eat snacks. - **Flavorful Snack Innovations:** Creating standout snack options by combining different flavored kinds of kernels in a single bag. - **Rise of Gourmet Snacks:** Capitalizing on the growing demand for gourmet popcorn and snack products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food Manufacturing:** Innovating new flavors and combinations of savory popcorn pairings for the ready-to-eat snack market. - **Snack Food:** Developing and marketing flavorful and indulgent snack options that cater to consumers seeking something new. - **Consumer Goods:** Meet the demand for gourmet popcorn and snack products by offering unique and differentiated flavor experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Meal-Inspired Popcorn Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popcorn-line.md) - [DIY Snacking Popcorns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourmet-popping-kernels.md) - [Sparkling Kettle Corn Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-salty-kettle-corn.md) - [Cheesy Macaroni-Flavored Popcorns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kraft-mac-cheese-popcorn.md) - [Collaboration Popcorn Seasonings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orville-redenbacher-popcorn-seasonings.md) - [Gourmet Kettle Corn Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/belles-gourmet-popcorn.md) - [Savory Prepackaged Popcorns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-proper-snacks-propercorn.md) - [Co-Branded Microwave Popcorn](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-secret-popcorn.md) - [Bottled Popcorn Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popcorn-kits.md)
