About Page Post:
Welcome Kettle Korn Lovers! And thank you for visiting our Pipin Hot Blog. We (Joe’s Parents) are so delighted to have a space on the internet for us to expand on what kind of business Poppin Joe’s Kettle Korn really is as well as interact with our gracious supporters and fans. What once was a long talked dream has now popped into being a busy family operated business on its way to the top! This blog is a place where Joe’s father and I take turns writing and collaborating on fun topics for our following to read and comment on. We like to think of kettle korn as shaping a way of life- a humble and simple snack that can be so rewarding.
We also wanted to welcome any parents, supporters and fellow members of the DS-ASD community to our site. We see you, we hear you and are here for you. We hope that our son’s work inspires parents of younger children with DS-ASD to encourage them to always pursue their dreams and never let a disability get in the way of living a completely fulfilling life.
We hope our blog brings your joy in our articles about upcoming holiday flavors, raffle winning opportunities and all the latest of what the Joe’s Poppin Kettle Korn team is curating next!
Blog Post One:
Welcome to yet another anticipated holiday season fellow kettle corn lovers! We in the Poppin Joe’s kitchen and headquarters have been quite busy, as we have been preparing holiday office orders, trying out new Christmas inspired flavors of kettle korn and always ensuring that our kettle korn is freshly popped.
We at Poppin Joe’s Kettle Korn want to know from our beloved customers, what is your favorite part of the holidays? Is it all the lights and decorations? Is it coming together and ending the year with family and friends? Or maybe, it could be something a bit closer to home, like our new white chocolate peppermint flavored kettle korn we just released! A word of advice from our team to ensure the correct shipping arrival for online purchases is to place them ASAP! Please comment below on this post what your favorite holiday activity or tradition is and maybe try exchanging traditions with a fellow poppin lover as well!
Lastly, we wanted to thank our supporters. Poppin Joe’s Kettle Korn would not be anywhere close to its current succession if it were not for the lovely customers who choose our kettle korn above other brands and products. It means the world to Joe knowing his passion is also serving a little bit of happiness, one popped kernel at a time.
Blog Post Two:
Hey everyone! We’re having a raffle competition and we want you to enter! Since we are approaching another New Years and some of us out there are still unable to go back fully into the social world since the pandemic, we at Poppin Joe’s Kettle Korn had an idea pop into our heads on how we can give a deserving family a great NYE while also supporting the DS-ASD community.
It’s simple really – all we are asking of our community of kettle corn lovers is to make an online purchase of $20 and while filling out your shipping information to put a * sign at the top of your name. That way we will be able to identify who is participating in our raffle! Half of your order proceeds will be going donated to the Down Syndrome-Autism Connection charitable donation fund and in return your name will be put into a hat and drawn out for our grand prize winnings of:
- Twenty-Five Dollar Amazon gift card to rent a movie of your choice
- Your choosing on up to three flavors of gourmet kettle korn of 2.5 ounce size
This is a great opportunity to give back to a wonderful cause as well as snuggle up with your loved ones and ring in the New Year with comfort and delicious snacks! You may only submit yourself once to the raffle in order to assure everyone gets their fair draw.
We look forward to announcing the winners and will do so on December 15, 2021 via all platforms of our social media as well as emailing the winner. Be sure to give us a follow on our Instagram, Facebook and Twitter! Happy Raffling everyone!
Blog Post Three:
Hey Poppin Joe’s friends and fans, we at Poppin Joe’s are popping out some new ideas and want to know if you have any flavor ideas of your own!
Recently we have undergone some flavor testing in our kitchen and had the idea of combining favorite snack flavors into our kettle korn! We already have a savory white cheddar kettle korn, but what if we made a cheese puff inspired kettle korn? Or a kettle korn inspired by your favorite coffee drink? Or, do you have a completely original kettle korn flavor all together? We want to hear from our community what new flavors of kettle korn you have.
Some idea examples:
- Cheese puff kettle korn
- Snickers kettle korn
- Coffee flavored kettle korn
We also wanted to encourage any of our followers who are a part of the DS-ASD community to participate in this collaboration as well. We at Poppin Joe’s are more than ready and proud to support the ideas and dreams of any flavor idea that is proposed to us, we very much operate by the old fashion moral of good honest hard working.
A small personal update, we are happy and thankful to be a part of Joe’s dream in making delicious and gourmet styled home popped kettle korn. It brings our son so much joy to be an active and working part of the community. We have big plans in store for the future of Poppin Joe’s and cannot wait to update our beloved community along the way. Joe, his father and myself all continue to thank the generous business our loyal customers so graciously continue to give us.
Happy Poppin Folks!
