Like Air Puffcorn is our Top Pick Of The Week: popcorn with a melt-in-your-mouth texture that is made without the popcorn kernel hulls that can stick in your teeth. Yes, that makes it better than traditional popcorn in our book. (A tiny kernel stuck in our tooth* sent us to the dentist for a $300. He said, “Next time skip the popcorn.” We were bereft because popcorn is a high-fiber, low-calorie snack we relied upon. Then, on Shark Tank, we discovered Like Air Puffcorn. Mr. Wonderful, Kevin O’Leary, exclaimed that it was the best-tasting low-calorie snack they’ve had in all 15 years of Shark Tank. The company got a deal from deal from Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner.

The individual size is a perfect school-safe snack, party favor, stocking stuffer, Easter basket treat, and so on. While popcorn is just 50 calories per cup, you can enhance your snack—still without getting anything stuck in your teeth. With the Classic and sweet flavors, we add some extra calories by: Like Air is sold in 3,500+ stores across all 50 states, including larger retailers like HEB, Kings, Kroger, Meijer, Sam’s Club, ShopRite, Stop & Shop, and Wegmans. E-tailers include Amazon, Fresh Direct, Instacart, Sams’s Club, and the Like Air Snacks website. > The history of popcorn salad (and recipe). > Popcorn, a whole-grain food. *Popcorn kernel hulls are the ideal size and shape to get caught between gums and teeth. We may not even realize we have a stuck particle until our gums become sore a few days later. †The “Big Nine” allergens: eggs, milk, nuts, fish, peanuts/tree nuts, sesame, shellfish‡, soybeans, and wheat. Congress passed the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004 (FALCPA), citing eight foods as major food allergens: milk, eggs, fish, Crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soybeans.
