I make my popcorn in bacon grease in a cast iron pot.
I meant Bearcat Brown instead of Mean Joe Green. Sorry my memory is lapsing.
YES! I remember my father doing that. When the 'Wrestling' would come on on weekends, he would send my sisters to the country grocer around the corner to buy an 8 pack of 16 oz soda's while he popped corn to get ready for the fight. Those were the days of 'Jackie Fargo, Tojo Yamamoto and Mean Joe Green.'
Yea Mean Joe played for the Pittsburgh Steelers and was in the famous coke commercial with the kid in the tunnel. "Here kid, Catch." and he throws him his jersey.
This was how Grandpa taught me to make popcorn many decades ago. First time I can remember eating it this way was up at the cabin watching the Summer Olympics in 1972. Of course back then that was the only channel you could get up in the north country of Michigan and then reception was snowy and on a 13 inch B&W. Thats where I saw Fosberry do his flop and Spitz win his 5 golds.
Also, I meant in wrestling Bearcat Brown and I got him mixed up with Mean Joe Green. But same time era. Wrong sport.
Yes. I remember we only had 3 channels and someone had to get up and turn the dial. And if it was 'snowy' on the screen, someone went outside and turned the antennae. And then if the horizontal or vertical hold was messed up, my dad would have to adjust it. AH! THE GOOD OLD DAYS. How I wish I had them back.
