Although corn is now a pop icon, it built its fan base through standing gigs in breakfast cereals and furtive poems published under the pseudonym C. Cob. Celebrate this down-to-earth grain with today's Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of gourmet flavored popcorn at What's Popp'N.

Kernels excavated from the finest stalks in North Alabama transform into gourmet flavored popcorn at What's Popp'N's old-fashioned snack shop. Sample more than 50 flavors varying from original to bacon and cheese to red cinnamon, then opt for a larger helping in sizes sold by the ounce or in three sizes ranging from teaser to large. Premium savory varieties ($0.90–$6) pair the popped corn with the zesty taste of pizza, loaded baked potato, or ranch, and candied flavors ($1.15–$6.25) such as spicy chocolate, green apple, and banana make for a snack as sweet and airy as Willy Wonka's best throw pillows. Football fans can also assemble flavor combinations by using the colored popcorn to represent their favorite pro or college team, or pick amongst preassembled team blends such as orange and blueberry (Auburn Tigers) or cinnamon and sweet corn (Alabama Crimson Tide).
