"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.
