Now that the acoustic (popcorn) has been successfully removed and properly disposed of you  can finally begin to breathe a sigh of relief! Gone are the unattractive little pebbles that  held pockets of dust, dirt and allergen. Gone are the cobwebs and those awful insect bile stains that you could not remove without damaging the acoustic. Good riddance. And now  that  the ceilings have completely dried from the acoustic removal process, we are ready to now  ascertain some of the questions about what should we do next and how should we go about  doing it.

In the article “How To Remove Acoustics (popcorn) From Your Ceilings Once And For All”, I  briefly described how to repair areas on your ceilings that might have been damaged by  scraping off the acoustics. And in another article I wrote ” How To Finish Drywall…And  Achieve Excellent Results”, I gave a step by step guide on how to finish drywall. But in  this particular article I will assume that you have read them both and I will focus on  outlining a plan to help you achieve a nice attractive ceiling that looks beautiful and yet  is very easy to maintain. If you have not read the two articles that leads up to this one,  please feel free to click on the links and discover how it’s all done.

At this point you should have ceilings that are clean, smooth and dry. Although it has taken  quite a bit of work to reach this step, you should feel pleased to see that underneath all  that popcorn stuff–your ceilings don’t look so bad after all. But it is not finished and  that is the journey we are about to embark on. For the sake of simplicity we are going to  implement a plan that will help us acquire ceilings that are just the opposite of the  acoustic/popcorn mess. We want ceilings that are environmentally safe (no asbestos), non  allergenic, lovely in appearance and down right easy to maintain…for years to come!

And my overwhelming choice for a solution to the acoustic/popcorn ceiling is a light  application of “orange peel” texture. Yes, this type of texture gets its name from its  similar appearance to the hull of an orange. The  fruit that so many of us love has a texture  that is named after its hull. In essence, that’s how we get the name “orange peel”. Once it  has been sprayed on your ceilings you should be able to see the close resemblance it has to  the exterior hull of an orange; it really is astoundingly similar. Learn More

A Brilliant Invention

It was at the Worlds Columbian Exposition, in the year 1893, that an inventor by the name of Charles Cretors introduced the public to its first commercial popcorn machine. It was a resounding success and the rest is history. Perhaps it is also the pure convenience for the vendor, as well as the customer that a popcorn machine offers, that has helped to broaden their popularity so universally.

Newer Easier to Use and Maintain Commercial Machines

For generations, commercial popcorn machines were big bulky and expensive and also tended to require a fair amount of maintenance. This is why, for the most part they were only used at theaters and carnivals where a worker could tend to its maintenance requirements. Todays choices in commercial popcorn machines however, have undergone a number of technological upgrades and now they are easier to use then ever.

Clever Classic Design Styles

This is the main reason behind the recent trend in people buying and bringing commercial popcorn machines into their homes and small businesses. It turns out, that they make a great addition to a TV room, home theater or patio. This in turn, has led to the design and introduction of numerous classically designed, four legged amusement park style popcorn machines for the home or office.

Also, community civic groups everywhere are recognizing the  money generating potential of a commercial popcorn machine at their community oriented fund raising events. They simply plug their machine in, load it up and as soon as the people in attendance see and smell it, they line up to fill their bag and drop a dollar in the donation slot.

Starting up a business can be difficult, so finding any extra sources of income can be the difference between making it or breaking it. In fact, sometimes it’s better to begin a subordinate business for a short period of time in order to gain the capital to launch the business that you truly desire to pursue. If you can find a highly trafficked area and obtain the proper permits, then setting up a cart with a commercial popcorn machine can be a very lucrative pursuit.

Hot Air Popcorn Makers

Popcorn makers have recently seen some newer technological innovations added to them that are quite amazing.

Amazing Popcorn Vending Machines

Then the bag of fresh, hot popcorn can be placed under salt and butter flavored oil dispensers to add these two condiments. The truly amazing thing about these new vending machines is that they are completely tamper proof.

Advertising

Advertising before the start of the fundraiser works well for increasing the number of customers at your popcorn machine. Many fundraiser events suffer because many people today no longer carry anything other than plastic. Pre-event advertising will let everyone know about the cost of the popcorn beforehand so that they bring enough cash with them.

Even if it is outside of a local grocery store, posters in and around the local area will make people aware of the event. Local media such as newspapers, television stations, and radio stations will often provide free advertising for non-profit fundraisers and events as a public service. If your organization will be setting up at a local event, talk to the organizers about sharing advertising. This could be something as simple as sharing advertisement flyers and announcements.

Location

When setting up a fundraiser, location is the key to the success of the event. The best place to set up is anywhere that there are a large number people (and children) walking by while still having enough room to handle a large number of people. This is for two reasons: First, people will buy more if they do not have to go out of the way to get it. Secondly, if it is difficult to wait in line at the popcorn machine, people simply will not bother. Another great location is a place where people are already waiting like a ticket booth or play park. If there is no big event occurring in the local area that will be attracting customers, make one by holding a competition, festival, or outdoor movie event.

Give Customers A Bonus

Adding something for people to do or see while at your popcorn machine fundraiser not only works great for advertising and location, but also for the amount spent. Community fun sports days, a concert featuring a variety of local talent, or even a carnival will bring in considerably more people than a popcorn machine set up on its own at a local grocery store or mall. This is simply because it targets a larger audience that will spend more time at the event meaning there is more of a chance that each visitor will buy popcorn. The extra events can collect donations as well giving you more than one method of collecting donations. Fundraisers such as these also promote the closeness of the community and, in some cases, give kids in the community an opportunity to do things they might not have the chance to do otherwise.

Popcorn is one of the most popular snacks in America, so why not use this for a good cause. It is not only quick and easy to make, but it also requires very little cost to produce a large amount of product and can is easily made in several flavors. Best of all, popcorn machines can be used over and over again making it great as a repeat fundraiser for several events providing your organization with year around donations.

By now, everyone should know that fad diets fail to work because they are short term, unrealistic, and usually starvation diets that encourage our bodies to pack on the fat after we go off of them. There are some good aspects of the popcorn diet though, which includes snacking all day on air-popped popping corn. Popcorn is very high in dietary fiber which is key for losing weight because of it’s ability to make out stomachs feel fuller for longer without the added calories. Fiber is also essential in maintaining regular bowel health, preventing heart disease and certain cancers. Popcorn is also extremely low in calories which makes it a great food to snack on if you get the munchies.

On the down side however, most people don’t really like the taste of plain popcorn because it is really dry and bland. So instead of having a healthy low calorie snack, they load it up with butter and salt which makes it extremely high in sodium and in many cases, higher in fat than potato chips. Eating an excessive amount of corn can block the absorption of vitamin B, which can result in anemia, low energy levels, skin rashes, depression and short term memory loss.

Don’t let this turn you off from popcorn though! Popcorn can be a great contribution to your diet, and a little salt and butter once in a while won’t kill you either. Just remember, humans can’t live on popcorn alone, and this is why the “popcorn diet” is yet another failed fad. It is also important to note that popcorn belongs in the top five foods that children choke on under the age of five, so refrain from giving your little one popcorn until he/she is older, and make sure you don’t leave any popcorn laying around.

Let me explain to you in detail how that will happen and why the popcorn is an option while you are watching your weight. If you can walk into a store there are several options like lite food, low calorie, low fat food and organic food. Also there are several things you need to be sure of like the fact that you need to have fiber in your diet and also you need to have good amount of roughage. Make sure that you get enough of additional minerals and proteins that you body needs.

Popcorn is made of whole grain and it is a great source of fiber. Now do not panic as the unbuttered popcorn only has 50 calories in a cup. That said what it means as a weight watcher is that you can curb that hunger and also curb that carving of a snack that you would usually like. The fact of the matter is that plain popcorn can be a little hard to eat everyday so the best option is to add little more accoutrements to the plain popcorn.

That will help make the popcorn more palatable and tasty. Some of the ingredients are Cinnamon, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic and onion salt, iced tea mix, peanuts, raisins. The shops have low calorie popcorn that you can eat without guilt. You can also add some low fat, low calorie sugar like Splenda. But make sure to consult your doctor before you mix the low calories sugar to popcorn.

Another thing that you need to worry about is that popcorn does have carbohydrates and fat but all said these are good carbohydrates. The bad carbohydrates are those which come from high calorie foods like cookies, bread and white bread. Just to make sure that you are not worried there is no harm in eating popcorn the better way. The better way is to have them as light as they can. No butter and no special cheese on them. All good carbohydrates and no bad carbohydrates.

Weight watching can be very strenuous but I am sure that popcorn can make it less as that is a lovable snack and easily accessible. It can curb your other carvings in a good way.
