The Orville Redenbacher Story

As a young boy, Orville Redenbacher always wanted to find the best popcorn in the world. Born on a farm in Brazil, Indiana, Orville grew corn and earned money popping and selling it. After he graduated from Purdue University, he worked at several jobs but was always in agriculture and never lost sight of his dream to develop a corn hybrid unlike any other. Forty-two years later, his dream came true. Orville Redenbacher became famous for his popcorn that was fluffy and tasty. Long after his death, the Orville Redenbacher Popping Corn, with his picture on the box, remains a favorite.
