"Fired up corn in a bag?" Not any more.
Anyone every heard of PumpKorn? I never tried them, but this "extreme!" snack has done worse than go the way of the dodo. It's become a health food. The marketing used to be a gonzo looking character going aggro over this tasty treat that he couldn't believe he'd laid his hands upon. "Fired up corn in a bag!" the tag line would announce from the bag's place next to the pickle in a sack on Blockbuster Video's counter. Now low-carb enthusiasts are extolling it's virtues as a power snack while they power walk. How tragic. I almost wish that for its sake it had simply met OK soda in the big marketing pitch in the sky.
