There's a Dale and Thomas popcorn store in my town. Many a time last year where I felt like walking in and randomly shouting "Quit the Knicks!"

I wouldn't eat that if it were the last popcorn on earth.

sure I won't regret it like I regretted Sneakerbury?

just ordered my own bag.

no idea what flavor theyre sending me tho.


thnx for the heads up!

Pffft. You gotta pay for shipping? I really do NOT want to send any money anywhere near Isiah Thomas way.

That crafty Isiah charges you $2.95 shipping for each bag! Tricky giving away 2 free...charges you for shipping twice!

good reading

History Lesson: Popcorn and Isiah Thomas
During the Great Depression of the 1930’s, popcorn eating thrived. It was one of the few treats families could afford. Sugar was rationed, so candy was scarce. Because of this, the average American ate more popcorn… three times more popcorn, actually! This was similar circumstances for the Thomas Family.

Because of his childhood memories, Isiah Thomas (The “Thomas” in Dale and Thomas Popcorn) is part owner of the most delicious gourmet popcorn. Growing up in a Chicago ghetto, Isiah Thomas was given all the opportunities his parents could afford to give him. They are hard working people, but the funds weren’t there for them to live the luxurious life. Because of this, a staple food in their diet was popcorn due to its yummy taste and inexpensiveness. I guess you could say that the 6’1”, 185 lbs. former Detroit Piston basketball player was raised on popcorn.

If you are not a follower of basketball, here is a little bit of interesting information of basketball’s greatest small guard, Isiah Thomas. He was named rookie of the year in 1982. He played 13 seasons and was an All-Star Player for 12 seasons. He’s considered one of basketball’s greatest players of all time. Then he hung up his jersey for coach’s garb to lead the Indiana Pacers (Indiana is the United States largest popcorn producing state) for 3 years reaching the playoffs every year.

On December 22, 2003, Thomas was named President of Basketball Operations for the New York Knicks. This is when he was introduced to the world's greatest popcorn. When walking around New York City, he stopped into a quaint popcorn factory located on the Upper West Side. After eating just a handful of the best popcorn he’s ever tasted, a rush of childhood memories followed. With extreme enthusiasm, Isiah Thomas wanted to have a hand in producing the greatest popcorn and to share his love for the crunchy treat with the rest of the nation. The name was changed to Dale and Thomas Popcorn and the rest is history.
