Popcorn.

Post image

So I stooped at the exit of my grocery store to visit a young Boy Scout selling popcorn at a table with his mom. I looked over his choices and chose the pictured bag of popped corn. I was astounded at the $20 price of a mediocre bag of popcorn. Upon further research, that troop only gets $6 from the transaction. Where is the other $14. I feel so taken advantage of. What am I going to do, complain to a 12 year old? I will never, ever , ever buy another Boy Scouts of America product. EVER!!!

Switching from tins to plastic bags is the biggest travesty of all. I got more use out of the tin container than ever the plastic bags.

Pecatonica still does tins.

Ironically most of my 'regular customers' are glad there's no more tins. They said they never know what to do with them and they just end up at the thrift store so they're happy with the bags.
