When I was growing up, my mother always had popcorn balls around the Christmas holidays. She would always manage to find them even as they got harder and harder to locate. Today, popcorn balls are for Halloween and come in orange wrappers and not the green and red wrappers from my childhood. But I still love them and consider them a treat in the winter.
Well, I did until this year. My wonderful wife know how much I like popcorn balls and noticed that after Halloween that Wal-Mart was offering their unsold boxes at a discount. She bought a box of 16 balls for me at half-price. The smart-ass that I am asked, “Is that all you got for me?”
So what does she do? She goes back to Wal-Mart a few days later and now they are on sale for 35 cents a box. She buys them all. That’s another 15 boxes. So here I am with over 250 popcorn balls. Yes, 250 popcorn balls! How can I eat them all?
I am finally down to the last box. Needless to say, I do not want to see another popcorn ball for as long as I live. Too much of a good thing is not good!
