JACKSON HOLE, WYO – United Airlines has selected Jackson Hole POP’s, I’m Your Huckleberry-flavored popcorn to appear in their December 2018 Hemisphere’s Magazine. The airline’s monthly seat-back pocket periodical compiled a holiday gift guide, choosing the locally-loved brand as one of several selections of mouthwatering gift ideas.
Jackson Hole POP has been recognized in the past by Food Network Magazine, and was also recently chosen by Foodboro.com, an editorial blog that shares their list of small, entrepreneurial food manufacturers, in its “Must-Watch Food and Beverage Makers.”
In an era of paid product placements, Chief ‘Popperating’ Officer Mike Daus called it “an incredible honor.”
Hemispheres Magazine is published monthly and is found in every seat-back pocket on every United and United Express aircraft.
Daus explained that the artisan popcorn flavor chosen by United Airlines was inspired by TopCorn, a richly addictive white-chocolate popcorn that was once manufactured by a local Huckleberry candy business. After perfecting the recipe using a trans-fat free Ghirardelli white chocolate coating, Daus combined it with huckleberry candy-coated popcorn and proclaimed it “I’m Your Huckleberry,” a name that invokes visions of the old west using Doc Holiday’s (Val Kilmer) famous line from the movie Tombstone.
This colorful combination of purple and white popcorn kernels joins the list of other fun, themed flavor names like Outlaw Cheddar, and Lucky Cowboy! 3-Way Mix.
Jackson Hole POP sells freshly packaged popcorn at their online store with free shipping options nationwide. It’s also available on store shelves throughout the Jackson Hole area with the help of its many local retail partners. It’s the choice of meeting planners, event planners, and kids of all ages at area conferences, celebrations, concerts, fairs, markets, school events, and charitable events throughout the year.
