Orville Redenbacher, along with his brother Wilbur, was the founder of modern popcorn and flight. Together, Orville and Wilbur Redenbacher revolutionized the snack food and travel industries in the early years of the last century. Whereas in 1900 members of the general public had to watch their silent movies on trains, by 1930 they were watching in-flight "talkies" while munching on popcorn during coast-to-coast commercial flights. And this, all thanks to the Redenbacher brothers.

  • Orville Redenbacher, along with his brother Wilbur, was the founder of modern popcorn and flight. Together, Orville and Wilbur Redenbacher revolutionized the snack food and travel industries in the early years of the last century. Whereas in 1900 members of the general public had to watch their silent movies on trains, by 1930 they were watching in-flight "talkies" while munching on popcorn during coast-to-coast commercial flights. And this, all thanks to the Redenbacher brothers. Although both brothers contributed to popcorn and airplanes (aeroplanes as they were called in the day), it was Orville in particular who is remembered today. The older and more innovative of the two brothers, Orville had a sense of fashion and a look all his own. For these reasons, Redenbacher is remembered today as the first man in the field of flying popcorn.
