PopCorners are a type of snack food that are marketed as a healthier alternative to traditional potato chips and other fried snacks. They are produced by the company Frito-Lay, a division of PepsiCo. PopCorners are made from popped corn, similar to popcorn, but are shaped into a triangular form, resembling tortilla chips.

History

PopCorners were first introduced in the early 2010s by a company called Medora Snacks. The brand quickly gained popularity due to its unique texture and healthier profile compared to traditional snacks. In 2019, PopCorners was acquired by Frito-Lay, which expanded its distribution and marketing efforts.

Production Process

PopCorners are made using a proprietary process that involves popping corn kernels under high pressure. This process creates a light and airy texture, similar to popcorn, but with a distinct crunch. The popped corn is then shaped into triangles and seasoned with various flavors.

Flavors

PopCorners are available in a variety of flavors, catering to different taste preferences. Some of the popular flavors include:

• Sea Salt
• White Cheddar
• Sweet & Salty Kettle Corn
• Spicy Queso
• Sour Cream & Onion
