Okay then!

There's this cheap popcorn I like that they sell at the local Dollar General that's only a buck a bag. And I only just noticed that there are Bible verses on the back of the bag.

Proverbs 18:10
The name of the LORD
is a strong tower;
The righteous run to
it and are safe.

I ... have no idea what that has to do with my popcorn.

It is Jesus's way of saying to use the microwave popcorn instead of the heathen air popped.

It's the other food Jesus did miracles with. (Jesus must've invented it!)

What Would Jesus Eat?

Geez, it's like Dr. Bronner's Soap, but sneakily conservative.

A tower of... popcorn?

It has nothing to do with popcorn and everything to do with making sure that people who eat popcorn but don't read the bible hear about how awesome God is.

It's the same reason I keep finding Jack Chick tracts left on urinals. Sadly they are not all about urinals going to hell when they die.

Heh. Too late. I spent the first thirteen years of my life hearing about how awesome God was and look how that turned out.

There is someone who occasionally leaves excerpts of the New Testament on my bus. They leave them on the seats. So, naturally, on a crowded bus, people sit on them. If they fall off the seats, they get ground underfoot.

I want to catch the person who is leaving them someday to ask them if they realize that what they're doing is making people put their asses on the Bible.

Shrug about Brozne Age weirdness carried into the modern world and continue enjoying tasty cheap popcorn.

Um...eat your popcorn and feel safe while doing so? Because the LORD (aka Chuck) has decreed that your popcorn is safe?

I think they intend your popcorn to be a weapon of righteousness.

I've seen other foods with religious quotage on the packaging. My fav bread is called Ezekiel 4:9. The company also makes Genesis 1:29 bread and, hilariously, English muffins. I wondered if a religious sect made it, but can't find any info about that on their site. The bible quotes are about bread and seeds, not souls or righteous living, so even if it looks eccentric, it makes sense.

See, I like that. That's kinda nice, like saying grace over your meal.

This is sort of like, "Hey, if you like this popcorn, try Jesus!" Because he ... tastes like popcorn, too, I guess. And has a big tower.

There's a Children Of The Corn joke in there somewhere.

Thank you.

That's kind of awesome. Jesus!Popcorn sounds pretty neat.

Jesus loves me, this I know, 'cause my popcorn tells me so. :D

People often turn to the Bible in times of need, when they're sick or dying, or a loved one is sick or dying... does this mean I have reason to suspect the safety of eating this popcorn? I mean, food poisoning will make me pray the porcelain goddess, but I'm not sure that's the type of worship they're going for.

The power of popcorn compels you! *splash holy water*

Now I want Holy Butter. *nods*

It means that if Jesus happens by, you can ask him to pop your popcorn instead of using a microwave.

Trufax.
