  • Shake It Up – Savory Shakes are the simplest option for those who’d like to add flavor to their popcorn. Available in 23 flavor mixes, you can create a self-service bar where customers add the seasoning to their own popcorn. Or, if you want more control, you can also pop in batches.
  • Make Flavor Pop – If you’d like to venture into sweet glazed popcorn, GlazePop® is right for you. You simply add the mix into your kettle with your corn and oil. This is a great introduction into the world of gourmet popcorn.
  • Add a Little Attitude – For Sno-Kones® and Shave Ice, there are so many syrups you have your choice of a multitude of flavor combinations. But even if you have only a few flavors, there’s an easy way to get more bang for your buck. Most syrups are sweet, so you can expand your menu with sour flavors. Just add a shot of Sour Attitude to give a sour kick to any flavor.
  • New Twists – Reimagine a current menu item to breathe new life into sales. Transform funnel cakes into a portable finger food with Funnel Fingers™. Nachos and hot dogs can be upsold when coupled with chili. Mix ice cream with Sno-Kones® to make a special frozen sweet treat.
  • Fresh Presentation – Think about what you can do to improve perceived value. One example is to add a jumbo size. Not only do you sell more product, it is literally a walking advertisement for your stand. For drinks, you may try introducing a souvenir cup. You can also encourage combo purchases by using food trays that pair drinks with popcorn and candy.
