Gary Poppins Popcorn had a whimsical booth that looked like a giant box of its signature crunchy snack. Product reps doled out mini bags of caramel and cheddar popcorn; the company also makes the product in more unusual flavors such as pumpkin-spice and French-vanilla-coffee. 

A not-uncommon site at the expo: tables filled with bowl upon bowl of sweets arranged by color. The candies from Yum Junkie had fun names such as "Sassy Spheres," "Squiggly Pops," and "Tesla's Tiny Twist Pops." 

Lucky Country Licorice was displayed in a rainbow-like arrangement of giant bins. Each clear vessel held the snack in a different flavor, including pineapple, green apple, and the new cherry flavor.
