History
The history of Poppycock is uncertain. According to Lincoln Snacks, Poppycock was invented by Howard Vair in the 1950s as a snack to accompany him on road trips.[2] In 1960, Wander, a Swiss company, bought the rights to Poppycock and moved production to their Villa Park, Illinois, facility.[2]
However in 1969, a snack matching the description of Poppycock was patented by Arnold Rebane, who worked for the Wander Company.[3]
In 1991, the Lincoln Snacks Company acquired Poppycock[2] and in On September 7, 2007, Lincoln Snacks was purchased by ConAgra Foods, the current Poppycock distributor. The product is also now cross-branded with the Orville Redenbacher's name.
