Popcorn, Indiana®, innovator of all-natural popcorn, is taking to the streets once again to change the way Americans snack and show them 'What Fun Tastes Like,' one kernel at a time. The "FUN Across America" 2014 consumer sampling tour is making its way to select cities across the U.S. to fuel a fit and fun lifestyle, providing popcorn fans with tasty, better-for-you snacks, giveaways and tips from past-season's "The Biggest Loser" contestants; FIT is a Biggest Loser approved snack. Each fan favorite is ready to share ways they keep their fitness and eating regimens 'fun' to ensure they continue on their weight loss and healthy lifestyle journey.

Beginning on January 18, 2014 in Miami, Popcorn, Indiana's distinctive "FUN Across America" Mobile Tour will visit high-traffic events across the country, such as Wodapalooza III Fitness Festival in Miami, the Rock n' Roll Marathon Series Finish Line Festival in New Orleans, the Hot Chocolate 15/5k in Atlanta and the Rock n' Roll Health & Fitness Expo in San Francisco. The tour will finish in San Francisco on April 6, 2014.

"As we prepare to make our way to major cities this winter, we again aim to share with consumers that it is possible to create a kick-butt delicious snack with a healthier nutritional profile," said Hitesh Hajarnavis, president and CEO of Popcorn, Indiana. "We're proud to welcome back our Biggest Loser Ambassadors to the FUN Tour, as their personal commitment and passion reminds others, they too, can achieve their goals," added Hajarnavis.

Participating former "The Biggest Loser" contestants include fan favorites, such as season 8 winner Danny Cahill in Dallas, season 10 winner Patrick House in New Orleans and season 9 sweetheart and new mom, Stephanie Anderson in San Diego. Biggest Loser Ambassadors will host a meet-and-greet with fans and discuss tips that helped them get (and stay) fit, focusing on the 'fun' factors that got them where they are today.

Each tour stop will give consumers a chance to sample Popcorn, Indiana's FIT popcorn, a better-for-you, ready-to-eat popcorn available in five crunchy and delicious flavors. A one-cup serving is just 40 calories or less with just 2 g of fat; the perfect option for those who want to snack smarter but don't want to sacrifice fun or flavor. A full schedule is available at PopcornIndiana.com. Tour updates, photographs and posts from "The Biggest Loser" contestants will also be available on Twitter, following #FUNTour2014.
