White Cheddar Popcorn

Sitting here, trying to be "creative", I cannot think of a profound, first EVER, blog...hence White Cheddar Popcorn.  In reality, I have so much I could write about, but all I can think about is how I can eat this White Cheddar Popcorn and type, without losing any of the 'flavor' on my fingertips.  


Sad...so sad!


So, let me tell you about this White Cheddar Popcorn.  It isn't just any popcorn. No. It's THE popcorn!  Never have I ever tasted a better popcorn, but mainly because the very sight of the bag takes me back to the beginning of the new millennium, walking the halls of EHS, and our table of girls in the cafeteria.  Oh what glorious days those were (at least they are in comparison to the years that followed).  I had very little stress, VERY...little!  
Best friends √ 
Hair √ 
Clothes √
...and sadly my friends, that was about all of the worries that revolved in my "know-it-ALL" teenage world.


And this White Cheddar Popcorn was a group favorite around our lunch "C" table of girls.  So much a favorite, it was more a staple of our lunchtime (as equal of a staple as gossip, tears, note-passing, make-up, and boys), that if one of us girls didn't have enough lunch money, SOMEBODY would buy her a bag.


Every time I see the red, white, blue, and hint of yellow, bag of Lance® White Cheddar Popcorn (literally EVERY time), a flashback from that era in my life comes forward...and it never fails.


Most of us girls at that table don't even talk on a regular basis anymore.  Some of them, I can't even remember their last names from high school, let alone their new married names.  Some are still in our hometown, others miles away.  Some have husbands and babies, and some don't.  And no matter where our lives have taken us, or not taken us, for whatever reason, this White Cheddar Popcorn takes me back to that table, their faces, and our naive worldly views, a decade ago. 


It's only appropriate that I wrap this first blog up, as I round out the very best part of the bag of White Cheddar Popcorn...the bottom corner of it. :) And so, wherever they are today, and wherever they go tomorrow, I'll always remember them around the table, every time I see a bag of
 Lance® White...Cheddar...Popcorn.
