Today, I just wanted to brag a little, if that's OK. Uncle Lynn's company is a tiny little outfit up in Northeastern Wisconsin. And with only 20 employees, The Pop'rs King has to cover a lot of ground himself. Recently, though, the local media has given him a helping hand.
You've read the fanTAbulous article from last week's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, right? If not, please Click Here to get schooled! The story appeared on the Journal's Web site on Christmas Eve, and ran in the paper the next day. What a great way to kick off the New Year!
Well, the hits Just Keep on Comin'.
Uncle Lynn was interviewed by a Green Bay TV station yesterday, and appeared on the 6 and 10 o'clock news. He's gonna be on Green Bay's Channel 5 this morning (6 a.m.) on a show called Wisconsin Works, PLUS his interview will stream live on radio, also at 6 this morning. When we get the TV footage, we'll post it!
The whole object of these shenanigans is to get Pop'rs on to grocery store shelves. So the next time you're doing your marketing, have a word with the manager. Tell him Veggie Mom sent you, and, hey, please tell him to check out Eat Your Veggies! while you're at it!
The shots above were taken by photographer Benny Sieu of the Milwaukee paper during recent tour of The Pop'rs Plant. Here, workers are sorting carbonated crystals, the ingredient that puts the Pop! in Pop'rs, into different sizes for packaging.
Pretty neat, huh? So, quick like a bunny, get commenting...and get your entries in for The Great New Pop'rs New Years Giveaway. Don't delay...Do it today!

I am glad Pop'rs are doing so well! They sure are yummy. I love Buffalo Chicken flavor.
What a great product!! I love it. I would love to try the taco flavor.
I think having 20 employees is FANTASTIC especially in this economy. It does look like things are about to "pickup" dramatically, and will keep Uncle Lynn "hopping".
I'd love to see them on our shelves (but I'm on the other side of the country so it could take a bit "longer".
now this is just super cool....looks like Pop'rs has made it!!
I hope you'll be able to get Pop'rs on the grocery store shelves. I bet you will, you all are working it hard!
I did see the poem you left on my blog! It was great!
I hope that you can get them at stores soon too, you all are doing a great job marketing... yum yum yum
Great articles about Uncle Lynn and Popr's. I wonder if I could get my Wegmans to carry them??
Wegmans carries so many new and interesting products...that's why I love to shop there.
I will look into it :-)
ps. Thanks for the kind words about my experience this morning on my run. Whew....that really shook me up!!
That is awesome about the news coverage. Congrats! It's on to Oprah now!
I was about to say that Popr's is finally hitting the big time. I love all the plant photos. I love watching products get made. That was always my favorite segment on Mr. Rodger's Neighborhood!
Sounds like you guys are getting some great press! Great job to Uncle Lynn!
Congratulations Uncle Lynn! Great to hear that the company is getting more exposure.
Oh that's too funny! Just last night I was watching Unwrapped and thinking that Pop'rs would be perfect for being featured there. If only it were that easy, right?
And hey! Congrats on the publicity!
How exciting. Congrats!
We can't wait to try the Pop'rs!
That would be so awesome to get this stuff in stores!!! What a great start to this year!
I don't know how they work with those carbonated crystals all day and don't pop them into their mouths.....I'd be popping all the time!
I haven't read the article yet...so I'm off to go do that...but is there a chance that the pop'rs candy bars will be marketed as well????? Be sure to tell Uncle Lynn how much WOMEN LOVE CHOCOLATE!!!!
Good morning!
How fun that his little company is getting some good feedback and press!
Have a great day!
I seriously need to find a job where I can wear a hairnet. :o)
