There are two types of corporate gift baskets that stack up in offices across the country: There are those that remain in the brown UPS boxes they came in until someone finally comes and cleans out the office. Then there are the corporate gift baskets that somehow become part of the office décor.

It can be difficult, at times, to figure out which category a particular gift will fall into. Sometimes, though, it is easy to figure that out. And the “NUTS ON CLARK” classic gourmet popcorn tins (which will, of course, be filled with gourmet caramel popcorn, gourmet cheese popcorn and/or classic gourmet popcorn) is one of those corporate gift baskets that obviously fall into the décor category.

The tins themselves are gold in color and depict the Chicago cityscape, all the beautiful buildings that make this unique city what it is. Above the buildings is elegant script lettering that comes together to say “Chicago,” and above that is the immediately recognizable logo of “NUTS ON CLARK”, the city’s iconic gourmet popcorn store.

The tin makes this one of the longest lasting of the corporate gift baskets Chicago offers because, once the delicious gourmet popcorn inside is finished, it makes a great mantelpiece or bit of office decoration. A little reminder to Chicago office workers why they live in Chicago, and a little taste of this wonderful city for those who are working in their own great cities across the country.

It’s always good to have a corporate gift that is remembered and actually used, and this tin will remain in any office as part of the wonderful décor.

What makes Chicago Gourmet Popcorn earn the name of one of the greatest cities in the world?

There’s a joke by comedian Jim Gaffigan that goes “Every city has a food they’re famous for. It’s almost like there was a meeting. ‘OK, Chicago, what do you pick?’ ‘Deep dish pizza!’ ‘Ok, Philadelphia?’ “Cheesesteak!’ ‘OK, Boston?’ ‘Beans!’ ‘Umm… You want beans?’ ‘Yeah, beans are awesome! Beans are wicked awesome!’”

Humorous as Boston’s odd choice is, the joke missed the mark: While Chicago may be known for its pizza, it also has extreme pride in its Chicago gourmet popcorn. In fact, Chicago style popcorn is a staple of the city, as much as the “bean” statue in Millennium Park or the Willis Tower. It’s been here since the beginning, and it’s unique to the city.

A quick Google search for Chicago style popcorn will bring up a plethora of folks around the country asking where to find some true Chicago gourmet popcorn in their cities. Well, the answer is a fairly simple one: Check out the Chicago gourmet popcorn that can be bought and shipped anywhere in the country. All you have to do is click a button and, without ever even leaving your home, you’ll have tons of Chicago style popcorn being shipped to your door.

And, in case you’re still in the dark, Chicago style popcorn is a mixture of crispy gourmet caramel popcorn and flavorful gourmet cheese popcorn.

The power of this flavor combination means just one thing: The taste of Chicago is as timeless as the city, and Chicago gourmet popcorn is not far away, no matter where you are.
