Popcorn has been a regular part of my snack routine for as long as I can remember. I really enjoy using air poppers whenever possible. They bring back fond memories from my childhood, and there's something comforting about the sound and aroma they produce. But, of course, microwave popcorn has its place in my snacking world too.

Recently, I stumbled upon a surprising discovery: Microwave Popcorn that requires storage in the freezer. It's strange how I missed this product during my countless trips to the grocery store with my family. Back then, I was always responsible for helping cut coupons every weekend, but for some reason, this particular frozen popcorn slipped my memory. There are two possibilities to explain this strange oversight.

Firstly, it seems that Frozen Popcorn might not have been around for very long. It made its debut in 1974, only to gradually fade away over the next two years. Furthermore, it wasn't widely available across the entire United States, which could explain why it didn't catch my attention. However, it's hard to believe that I wouldn't have noticed such a unique product during my coupon-cutting escapades.

The more plausible explanation is a bit more whimsical. I can't help but envision a scenario where I ventured into the freezer aisle only to come face to face with a frost-covered Redenbacher, grinning mischievously while clutching a box of his ice-rimed microwave popcorn. The image haunts me, lingering in the dark corners of my restless dreams, making me wonder if there's a subconscious reason for blocking it from my memory.

Despite my curiosity, I find myself pondering whether frozen popcorn tastes any different from its non-frozen counterparts. I mean, logically, freezing something should preserve its flavor, but I can't help but wonder if there's an extra chill to the taste that sets it apart from regular microwave popcorn.

In any case, whether frozen or not, popcorn remains a tasty and versatile snack option that I'll continue to enjoy. But I must admit, the mystery of the Frozen Popcorn will forever linger in my mind, like an unsolved riddle waiting for the right moment to unravel its secrets. Until then, I'll keep popping away and savoring the comforting crunch of popcorn, whether it's from an air popper or the microwave.

Remember when Mickey Mouse decided to commit suicide?
Unless you lived in the 1930s or are a fan of vintage comic strips you might not be aware of the attempted Mickey Mouse suicide.
