Talk:Kettle corn

Food energy (per serving)
How much gram is a serving? In Europe we usually break down the nutritional values to 100g so it's easier to compare.

Picture
Could someone add a picture of kettle corn to the page? Even if it looks like normal popcorn, that would help clear that question up too :) Sfisher 05:05, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I've added one, though it's pretty blurry due to the crappy camera. --Msgohan 01:32, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

for some strange reason, this page has been vandalized recently. manually removed it (highlighted and backspaced) because I don't know how to revert to a previous version. Jedibob5 01:57, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Nutrition Ref
I was really surprised by the nutritional claims. Kettle corn (looking at Act II and Pop-secret according to http://dietfacts.com) has about 65mg salt and 4g total carbohydrates per one cup. Of course there are others that are less nutritious (see http://www.vicspopcorn.com/nutrition.htm)Kaw in stl 21:25, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

The reason most microwave versions of kettle corn are so low in calories is the use of sucralose in place of sugar. I've added that reference to the article. --69.180.132.140 (talk) 00:30, 3 August 2008 (UTC)


 * In my opinion, kettle corn has a lot of sugar, especially since it is made in small batches. A friend does this for a living at 19th century history events and adds about 2 cups of sugar per kettle. Thomas R. Fasulo (talk) 00:37, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Kettle Corn in China
I'm tempted to remove the line about Kettle Corn being popular in China, for lack of reference. I tried to do some research on the subject, and it seems plausible. However, there are no real sources. A comment in this New York Times blog is the closest I could find. It's just an anecdote, but it specifically mentions a type of kettle corn sold in China. A search of "bao mi hua" and other popcorn in China searches also indicate that popcorn is widely known and is possibly popular there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ben James Ben (talk • contribs) 14:36, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Even today, most movie houses in Germany sell the product
I live in Germany and I have been in many movie houses but I've never seen this product! I also asked my friends and nobody knows this popcorn. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.58.58.23 (talk) 22:41, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Watch for "funtime snack" vandalism
Apparently, recently a TV show (Community?) mentioned kettle corn as a "funtime snack", so editors please watch for vandals inserting this joke. MatthewVanitas (talk) 20:42, 2 February 2011 (UTC) Right you are. I just had to do it again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.224.181.201 (talk) 01:57, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

Are you suggesting it isn't a funtime snack? I would say in some vernaculars it certainly is a snack during fun times, such as festivals, and yearly autumn gatherings. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.112.212.116 (talk) 05:35, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Please stop removing the clarifications between the European terminology of popcorn and American kettle corn.
It's really annoying. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:982:3678:1:284C:AA44:EF0F:E6C5 (talk) 20:10, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
 * You added Kettle corn is a purely American terminology. In European the sweet "kettle corn" is only known as "popcorn", while the salted version is sold specifically as salted popcorn. There are at least two problems with this: (1) it is unreferenced and I challenge its accuracy; (2) it is irrelevant because the article is appears to be about neither sweet popcorn or salted popcorn, but sweet, salted (i.e. both) popcorn.

Introduced to the US?
Corn is from the New World. So who “introduced” this snack to the US? Serious query. Alexandermoir (talk) 07:33, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
