Tonight I found myself binging on one of the delectable, if not the tastiest, pop corn there is in town: the Holy Kettle Corn. The popcorn is a mixture of something salty (though it has less salt than others) and sweet (sugar). And you definitely get nothing but big puffs of popped corn.

It takes pride of being an anytime-anywhere healthy food snack. It has no MSG, no butter, no preservatives, and no artificial flavoring. Furthermore, it's almost natural; thus,it's rich in fiber. One problem, though. If you're conscious about calories, you may think twice because it has about 170. But then again, you can never discount its distinct taste only achieved by Holy Kettle Corn.

As of the moment, there are a lot of franchise outlets found inside malls. You can buy them for P25.00 (small one) or P60.00 (the big one). The latter can really make you full--and I mean it.

The concept of kettle corn can be traced back during eighteenth-century America where corns were placed and popped in cast-iron kettles. They are further sweetened with natural sweeteners such as honey, sugar, and molasses. No wonder it has become a staple food for the Americans, especially the farmers and cowboys.

Now, it has made a glorious comeback. Here in the Philippines, entrepreneurs Derrick Chiongbian and Aris Alipon introduced the idea into the market. Their synergy created Blue Kettle Corporation, which then led to Holy Kettle Corn.

Aside from the taste, what makes Holy Kettle Corn different from all other factors? It's the packaging. It's paperbags, which are imported, are sealed with plastic inside, which eventually extends the product's shelf life to three days. So you can take about  72 hours to fully enjoy and immerse yourself to the taste of the popcorn.


PS: If only I could hug Kristoff. The kid has been working his *** off for how many weeks, but he can't seem to just make it.  I wish he'll do well in the next gala performance.
