Orville Redenbacher was born on a farm in Brazil, Indiana, in 1907. At 12, he began to grow and peddle his own popping corn, which allowed him to save money for college. He graduated from Perdue University with a degree in agronomy and as a member of Alpha Gamma Rho, an agriculture-oriented fraternity.

Redenbacher was a natural salesman and became quickly successful in his line of work. He even went on to start a fertilizer company, which was very financially successful. Yet throughout it all, Redenbacher had a goal that he'd been working on since a child. He wanted to make a popping corn that was perfect.

Meet PFAs, a class of synthetic chemicals commonly used in food packaging. Popcorn manufacturers coat the insides of their popcorn bags with PFAs to prevent the artificial butter flavoring from leaking through and making a mess. But those same chemicals also leach into the popcorn - and into your body when you eat it.

The American Pop Corn Company The American Pop Corn Company is a family owned popcorn producer. Founded in 1914, it is the oldest popcorn company in the United States. Its only brand, Jolly Time, is sold globally and in every state in America.

By the mid 1970s, Redenbacher and Bowman had captured a third of the unpopped popcorn market. According to industry estimates, the brand, still the national leader in the $1 billion annual popcorn market, accounts for about 45 percent of the microwave market. These amazing successes are not all coming from luck.

air-popped “The healthiest way to eat popcorn is typically air-popped with no oil or butter and minimal salt added,” Walsh says. “However, there are numerous bagged popcorn products that come pretty close to matching the nutritional facts of air-popped popcorn such as SkinnyPop or BoomChickaPop.”

Air popped popcorn uses no oil, meaning it has the fewest calories. “Popping it in oil, however, is a great way to consume a healthy portion of fat to control hunger,” Jeffers says. Not only can you manage serving size, but you can also make it in under 10 minutes in most cases.
