I would like to preface this review by stating that I would rate the Holy Popcorn Ball 100000 stars out of 5 if I could. However, 5 is the highest I can rate it here.
Let me start by asking you a question. Have you ever seen something so amazing, so pure, so beautiful, that your heart stopped briefly? Well, I have. And that heart-stoppingly beautiful object was located at 1300 West Main Street in Sac City, Iowa. Yes, that's right. The World's Largest Popcorn Ball.
Before we begin the review, a bit of history. In the year of 400 BC, a mysterious deity in space was hungry. The deity made its favorite snack, popcorn. As the deity ate the popcorn, it spilled a meager amount. That meager amount fell from space and settled in Northwest Iowa. Many years later, settlers discovered this popcorn. To the settlers, the ball of popcorn was incredibly large. So, they named it the World's Largest Popcorn Ball, and built the town of Sac (short for Sacramental Popcorn Ball) City. The Ball was previously listed as one of the seven wonders of the world, but was de-listed as it took away too much attention from things like the Pyramids in Egypt. Today, it is but a hidden holy site for travelers.
Nowadays, the ball is settled in a beautiful white building that pays tribute to its creator. One can walk right up to the window in front of the ball and pay homage to the space deity who graced the earth with his blessing. Personally, I have paid homage to the popcorn ball multiple times, and each time I have paid homage I have been blessed with incredible luck for the following day. Many other travelers can attest to this.
I do not fully understand or grasp the powers of the popcorn ball. but I continue to expand my scientific research into the magical history of this magical ball. I wish many blessings on to any travelers who visit this holy site in the future, and that they may also experience the feelings that many before them have been given...
Read moreCome for the popcorn stay for the cute town. Corny as it may be, stopping off Hwy 20 to view for oneself the iconic popcorn ball is quick and fun. The museum is next door as well as some other cool little buildings . Brochures available telling you about the Ball and town. Def grab the one about barn quilts. Drive through the neighborhood a little bit, super cute houses and a lot of garage sales the Saturday we went. Lots of yard art and friendly locals offering a wave. A-maize-ing (sorry, I...
Read moreThis was interesting to see. However, I knocked off 1 point due to it being a little more difficult to find. It's right on the main drag. However, you can easily drive right by it as it is not marked very well as being there. When you are driving, you are typically looking for a sign pointing to where it is. There is no sign, that's why it is easy to drive right by it. It is in a courtyard style area next to the museum. If you find the Museum, you will find the small building with the...
