FAQ’s
Is Fire Corn Dead????
It’s not dead yet but mostly dead for now. Production partner declared bankruptcy and just was not being a good partner in general. Ties have finally been severed and I am working to bring Fire Corn back in a direct-to-consumer For-Sale-By-Amazon business model. More details to follow.
I found Fire Corn on Amazon. Is that really you?
NO IT IS NOT! It is third party seller with no affiliation to Fire Corn. It may be out of date product, or it may be good. Buyer beware.
Where can I get Fire Corn?
We know you have had a hard time satisfying that craving for that fiery mix of popcorn and crispy jalapeños. And that has to end. We have had issues with our production partner and have taken flight to target the best partners to ensure the best production of this popcorn goodness. Our aim is true and when we land on our best solution, you will be the first to hear the sirens announcing the battle has been won and Fire Corn is again everywhere.
I went to one of the stores on your list; WHY DIDN’t they have it?
We are aware that many of the wonderful places you used to be able to buy Fire Corn no longer carry it. We are very saddened by that issue. While we struggle to re-establish our previous distribution channels, you can still find Fire Corn in the Pacific Northwest at some Safeway’s and QFC’s. We greatly appreciate your support in buying off the shelf of these or any other retailers you find it at. Retail sales keep the retailers coming back to stock it. If you just can’t wait, or just can’t shop there, you can find Fire Corn online here and White Cheddar Fire Corn here.
Do you have Merch?
Yes, we do, but we are not set up to sell it yet. If we can get a little better volume on the product, we will increase our effort to get Fire Corn merchandise out on the streets.
Why did you change the recipe?
We haven’t changed the recipe, we have changed the manufacturing company. Pop Gourmet used to make it in-house in the Seattle area but found effectively managing a production line to be outside of their core competencies, so they divested their manufacturing equipment and went to an external source.
Why did you decrease the number of jalapeños in Fire Corn?
We haven’t. There is just standard variance in the packaging as the product goes from kettle, through flavoring (only a little salt and, of course, real white cheddar for White Cheddar Fire Corn), then to bagging. Some bags get many, some bags get fewer. We regret if you are a fan of the jalapeño crisps and do not win the “jalapeño crisp lottery” that is a part of every Fire Corn purchase.
Can you make it hotter?
Once the core products are financially successful, we may look to make hotter flavors but for now, we are matching the profile we feel most accurately matches the Fire Corn made in the fighter squadrons.
Why do you make it so hot!?!?
Fire Corn is not for everyone but it is Beer’s Favorite Snack® so if it feels too hot when you try it, try it next time with a frosty cold beer in hand and it should be just right!
It burns my eyes! What can I do?
It is a jalapeño pepper product made with real jalapeños. Just like handling fresh jalapeños you can get at the grocery store, don’t rub your eyes while eating Fire Corn. All I can say (since I am a fighter pilot and not a doctor) is wash your hands and face and don’t touch your eyes!
