I talked with my local packaging expert (not really, but he does use a LOT of
styro...), and we figured that going to the store, buying bulk popcorn, and
popping it with an air popper would still be cheaper (even considering the

I hope more people start using this technique!  Besides, it gives your employ-
ees a healthy snack whenever they want!
