Then again, it's Mountain Dew that Nick Logue has somehow procured. No doubt its very existance is tied tosomething so horrible our ears would rend themselves from our heads if its name were spoken.
Assuredly some dark elder god is somehow involved in its creation.
As long as it's not Code Red or Voltage, I don't care how it was created.

Some believe that you have been "off your dumplings" for quite a while.

Ah, I see, you're referring to popcorn or popping corn - a type of corn which explodes from the kernel and puffs up when heated. Special varieties are grown to give improved popping yield I believe.
My batman has confirmed that some wild types will pop, but the cultivated strain is Zea mays averta, which is a special kind of flint corn.
The process of making popcorn was first discovered by Native Americans thousands of years ago I believe.
And is Whoozuwzit a relative of yours or does it refer to some sort of cheap plastic toy one often finds in confectionary to tempt the younger gernereation into persuading the older generation to make a purchase of said confectionary?

Orville Redenbacher perfected it--pop corn that is.
Hang on, do you mean Orville Clarence Redenbacher (July 16, 1907 – September 19, 1995) an American businessman most often associated with the brand of popcorn that bears his name.
Born in Brazil, Indiana, Orville graduated from Brazil High School in 1924 and was in the top 5% of his class. He attended Purdue University, joining the agriculture-oriented Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity and graduating with a degree in agronomy. He spent most of his life in the agriculture industry, serving as a Vigo County Farm Bureau Extension agent in Terre Haute, Indiana, and at Princeton Farms in Princeton, Indiana.
In childhood, he joined 4-H, and developed an obsession with developing the perfect popcorn.
Or the other Orville Redenbacher?
