These are just a few of the unique custom flavors that Merrillville-based ChicagoLand Popcorn has created since opening its doors over 7-years ago. Nearly forty of its more than 250 recipes were either suggested by a guest or inspired by collaborating with a corporation, state agency, or university.<\/p>\n<p>The latest creation, 8-Bit Mix, came about during a zoom meeting with a Warner Brothers Executive. &#8220;I came up with the name after Chareice White, Founder and Board Chairman of the <a href=\"https:\/\/ecier.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ECIER Foundation<\/a>, mentioned ChicagoLand Popcorn while we were finalizing details for the community screening of King Richard,&#8221; said Dwayne Walker, the VP of ECIER Foundation Board and Founder and CEO of ChicagoLand Popcorn. &#8220;Everyone thought that the creation of a promotional flavor was a great idea, so a few days later, we sent Warner Brothers several flavor options for approval.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A combination of eight fruity flavors is the base for the 8-Bit Mix flavor. The new flavor, plus Strawberry Cheesecake were selected to be included in the promotional media kits that went out ahead of Wednesday&#8217;s movie release on HBO Max.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As we work our way back from the pandemic\u2019s impact, we are thankful for all business opportunities. When we sent the shipment to Los Angeles, I was reminded that, our road to recovery could come from some unexpected sources,&#8221; said Walker.<\/p>\n<p><h3>About ChicagoLand Popcorn<\/h3>Launched in September 2013, ChicagoLand Popcorn is an award-winning gourmet popcorn shop that specializes in making over 250 flavors of premium handcrafted gourmet popcorn.
