Happy National Popcorn Day

Popcorn and movie, can't beat it, remember the old Jiffy Popcorn. Then along came the microwave and changed everything.....




Today is National Popcorn Day.  And according to a recent survey, 92% of us enjoy popcorn, or at least don't hate it.  Here are the ten most popular popcorn flavors . . .


1.  Classic butter and salt.  31% of people said it's their favorite way to eat popcorn.


2.  White cheddar, 16%.


3.  Caramel corn, also 16%.


4.  Kettle corn, 15%.  Women were 30% more likely to say they liked it than men.


5.  Regular cheddar, 11%.  So if you combine that with white cheddar, it's really 27%.


6.  Garlic, 3%.


7. "Turtle" popcorn.  That's popcorn covered with chocolate, 3%.


8.  Plain.  Only 2% of people said they prefer popcorn with nothing on it.


9.  Red velvet, 1%.  A couple different brands sell a red velvet flavor.  Apparently some people are big fans.


10.  "Zebra" popcorn, 1%.  It's kind of like "turtle" popcorn, but has chocolate AND white chocolate drizzled on top.


(Chester's Flamin' Hot Popcorn didn't make the list, but probably should have.)

Winter storm

Are you a little amused by the television wags and their coverage of the winter storm battering the east coast? I realize there's hardships with such a storm, but what about us?   What is it we've been putting up with? 75 degrees and sunny skies?  Catch Steve, afternoons 3-7 on KZ-100

melting / las vegas

The Beach Boys had a song titled "The Warmth of he Sun". Seems to be the mantra in getting this snow and ice off the roads. You may want to catch a part of the Grammies this weekend on CBS. Mixed in with the hip-hop music will be Eric Church, Maren Morris and Brothers Osborne with a song dedicated to the victims of the Las Vegas massacre. On that subject of the Las Vegas tragedy, it seems like multiple groups are keeping information from the public. I've read that advance notice may have been known by some public and private groups. Hmmm?

It's tough to get by on only $7 million

Now hold on...how much are you bringing home from your job? Thank goodness I really like my job but If I made more money that certainly wouldn't hurt...no what I mean.... Hoda Kotb 's got Matt Lauer 's job, but not his salary. The 53-year-old has officially replaced Lauer as the host of the Today show after he was fired for sexual misconduct in the workplace. Talking to People magazine, she says she and co-anchor Savannah Guthrie won't be making Matt's reported $20 million a year. “The answer is no — that’s not happening,” Hoda says. “For either of us.” The women are reportedly each making $7 million. Which ain't chicken feed. But for Hoda it's not about the money. She says, "I really have done jobs I liked for the job ... because I never wanted to be happy every other Friday on pay day. Like, I didn’t want that to be the happy day. I wanted to feel good throughout." According to Business Insider , Megyn Kelly makes $18 milli
