Ohiomohawk it is called Jiffy Pop Popcorn and yes they still make it, I had one with my daughter a few months back but somehow it just did not seem as cool as it was when I was a kid.

Wow!! I haven't had "JiffyPop" since Moses rode his first tricycle!!
In today's world of Microwave popcorn, I didn't know that there was even a market for it anymore!!

It's as much fun to make as it is to eat!!

Is it the best job in town? No. But it's better than OTR that's for damn sure. And at 22 years old, the world is his oyster.
Beats living out of a stripped-down Heartland truck.
Give the kid some credit. He saw what a dead-end loser job OTR is and got himself a somewhat decent daycab gig after 10 months of being abused by the Big Blue Screw.
The kid is alright...

Calm down ....Jimmy
He's got it good... bringing down some serious money for 22- heck for any age really......he doesn't need credit or approval from me.... he's in a good position to get plenty from where it really counts....like a BANK.

From my 35 years of work experience (from factory, to teaching , to construction, to service work, to bedbugging....usually if you have to ask if your job is good.....it probably isn't....The question is, is it better than your last one. If it is, you made a good move, but you still will not be satisfied after awhile. Still look for a better one all the while and be prepared to jump on it when you recognize it.
