Soundbite and Script
October 12, 2011
ANNOUNCER:
THIS SEASON IS FULL OF TRICKS AND TREATS AND ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR TREATS THIS MONTH, AND ALWAYS, IS POPCORN. OCTOBER IS NATIONAL POPCORN POPPIN’ MONTH, CELEBRATED IN THE FALL TO MARK THE HARVEST SEASON. POPCORN IS ONE OF OUR NATION’S ALL-TIME FAVORITE SNACKS. AMERICANS CONSUME 16 BILLION QUARTS OF POPCORN EACH YEAR. WENDY BOERSEMA RAPPEL, SPOKESPERSON FOR THE POPCORN BOARD, SAYS POPCORN HAS SPECIAL QUALITIES THAT APPEAL TO BOTH PARENTS AND KIDS, AND NOW’S THE TIME TO CELEBRATE IT.
WENDY BOERSEMA RAPPEL:
“Popcorn is a great anytime snack. It’s something that a parent can feel good about offering, because popcorn is a whole grain, it’s a good carb, it has fiber, and it’s naturally low in fat and calories plus it’s inexpensive, and popping popcorn is fun. Of course, eating it is the real treat.”
ANNOUNCER:
WENDY ALSO REMINDS US THAT POPCORN IS ESPECIALLY VERSATILE. YOU CAN CREATE SOMETHING SWEET, SALTY, OR SAVORY. LIKE US ON FACEBOOK AT POPCORN CENTRAL AND YOU'LL BE AUTOMATICALLY ENTERED TO WIN A BOX FULL OF POPCORN PRIZES. I’M JON DRYDEN.
