Popcorn Packing (Sep, 1951)

This would be much nicer than the standard shipping peanuts and popcorn.

Popcorn Packing is a new innovation in the shipping business. It is being used by the DeJur-Ansco Company of California to pack exposure meters and cameras at the rate of ten bushels of corn a week. Popcorn is fireproof . . . and edible.

    Quick, who invented the biodegradable styrofoam peanut?
