King of Pop

Farmer’s Popcorn Cobs

Kids are so corny. From the jokes they tell (What kind of horses go out after dark? Nightmares!) to the cartoons they watch (dear heaven, SpongeBob).

Time for a kernel that you can get behind, too: Farmer’s Popcorn Cobs.

Straight from the Kansas cornfields, these treats are the real deal. With one brilliant exception that distinguishes them from most cobs: These actually turn into real, yummy popcorn.

Is it magic? Nah. Just Midwestern know-how. Stick the cob in the microwave for a few minutes, and the kernels start popping. The corn is all-natural, which means no additives or preservatives. (You’re on  your own when junior and his cohorts start piling on super-gross toppings.)

If freshly popped corn covered in Coke (cottage cheese, fried worms, whatever) isn’t your cup of tea, at least it’s a way to spend Q.T. with the kids.

Just consider it one to grow on.
