real popcorn packaging in shipping boxes

Has anyone ever received real popped edible popcorn as shipping protection in a mailing?

Entrepeneur Magazine states this in their Shipping and Handling Essentials:

Use shredded newspaper or actual (unbuttered!) popcorn instead of Styrofoam peanuts. Your customers will appreciate your concern for the environment, and if you get hungry while packing, you can eat your materials!

Happening right now on Spudart: Press a leaf in an envelope with the date and story written on it until 2026-10-31

I have! It kind of threw me off because normally you’re like meh packing materials, but then you see POCORN and you are presented with a conundrum, because packing material isn’t usually edible…it would be funny if Amazon shipped all their DVDs in popcorn, I bet lots of people would eat it and be like wow Amazon really knows customer satisfaction.

Well if people got sick, then Amazon could come back and say ” SERIOUSLY WHO EATS PACKING MATERIAL DUH! ” Cuz it’s all about being smarter than the package, a dvd shipped in popcorn may LOOK like an all inclusive movie night, but in reality, its just a movie packed in environmentally friendly packing materials!

Cannondale bikes came packed in popcorn. I was just looking this up to see if people still did that. I think it was a great idea and very few kernals showed up smashed. I guess popcorn is stronger than I had expected it to be. I’d like to see people go back to that though.
