In doing a Google search for "Jiffy Pop" + "history," I found many, many references in which "Jiffy Pop" was used figuratively.
and more straightforward comparisons:
It seems as if there ought to be some way to reference or explain these, or at least to comment that "Jiffy Pop" has a life as metaphor for convenience and speed, above and beyond its meaning as product. I just can't figure out the Wiki way to do it. Lawikitejana 08:32, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
I've never tried to make the stuff, but when I hear it mentioned by those who have they tend to comment on how hard it was to make edible popcorn with it. Apparently many people have difficulty with the 'technique' required to pop the corn without burning it, especially on an electric stove. I cant personally verify the difficulty, nor do I know how widespread these opinions are but I came to this page looking for those answers - 198.175.55.6 21:34, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
There is no secret to making Jiffy Pop on a stove, even an electric range. You just need to keep shaking the pan when it starts sizzle, and not have the temp on high. I guess people are used to just sticking a bag in the microwave. This product requires you to actually do something while it pops. But that's the fun. Flight Risk ( talk) 12:38, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
I recall there was a product that was microwaveable. Basically the same familiar package, but it replaced the silver foil with clear plastic. I haven't seen this product in a while; is it discontinued? - Theaveng 12:37, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

I am cleaning up the Cultural References section which has had a Trivia tag since Oct. 2007.
For the purposes of this discussion, "The Subject" refers to the movie/episode/book/play/song that references Jiffy Pop.
(SUMMARY: I am going to move everything to a more appropriate place except the Simpsons reference and the Saturday Night Live reference)

Does anyone know which episode of the Simpsons has Apu selling Chintzy Pop? (see Cultural References section of article). VegKilla ( talk) 18:22, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
When I was a boy, and well into my 20s, I absolutely loved Jiffy-Pop and could easily consume a whole panful alone. Since then I've forced myself to stop eating it, because of the copious amounts of salt, lard, etc. As much fun as Jiffy-Pop is, nonetheless the article should at least touch on this issue. The aluminum packaging probably doesn't do the consumer any favors, either. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.155.94.113 ( talk) 22:01, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
I disagree. For me jiffy pop brand with the aluminum pan and foil is the only type you can still buy and make on a campfire, or a stovetop too, unhealthful is your own experience. Bring some references and it might be added to the article. The entire brand is basically just microwave popcorn at the moment. Try to find the pan version in your local store. 75.134.26.34 ( talk) 03:40, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
My dad, Daniel H. Bollinger, Jr., went to school with Fred. I remember as a kid, we stopped by his home, I believe on Lake Shore Dr., but he wasn't in. Dad said Fred loved popcorn (northwest Indiana is where the lion's share of popcorn is grown) and came up with the idea while fighting in WWII. He wanted a way to make popcorn over a campfire. I don't have any references for this, but perhaps his family could verify this story. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dan Bollinger ( talk • contribs) 21:34, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

I believe that Frederick C. Mennen is notable enough to have his own article. Am I the only one? I am very surprised that he doesn't already have one. He did a lot of cool things. 174.171.71.34 ( talk) 04:02, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
