He Shoots, He Pops! posted on December 6, 2006 11:02 AM by rethwyll.
If George Foreman can hawk lean, mean fat-reducing grilling machines and Paul Newman can bottle up salad dressing and salsa, then we say there's NO celebrity product endorsement too random or too tenuous. Which is one reason that we love Dale and Thomas Gourmet Popcorn: because the Thomas half of the company is Isiah Thomas, former point guard for the Detroit Pistons. As a native Michigander, it cracks us up to see Number 11 pimping popcorn (like, waaaah?) instead of sneakers or underwear like a normal sports star.
The OTHER reason we love this popcorn is because OMFG it's AMAZING. Apparently it's chock-full of crack, too, because we crave it fortnightly. And when we finally get it in our hot little hands, we are on it like Britney Spears on Cheetos. Chocolate (of both the milk and white varieties), peanut butter, toffee...heck, you could drizzle this stuff on fiberglass insulation and we would eat it. Hmmmm...we may have another business venture for Isiah...
