Talk:Popcorn, Indiana

Should this place be named Bullpoo, IN?

Please follow the link to Dale and Thomas Popcorn. There is no mention to any community in IN. Then look at the discussion page there, and read that there seems to be no such community in IN. Is this actually a ficticious place used for advertising only? PS, never heard of or seen Dale and Thomas products here in CO. so can't comment on their ad campaign.

What was that on "The Apprentice", promoting Popcorn, IN. when there is nothing there to promote? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Flight Risk (talk • contribs) 03:55, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Also, the article should be changed to say this place has been popularised by the ad campaign for <http://www.popcornindiana.com/> and not <http://www.daleandthomaspopcorn.com/> —Preceding unsigned comment added by Flight Risk (talk • contribs) 04:15, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

All the popcorn products from Popcorn Indiana LLC is not from the state of Indiana at all. The company is located in New Jersey. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.188.33.117 (talk) 22:21, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

The GNIS link in this article shows that the USGS does recognize this as an unincorporated populated place. Here's the link. Granted, maps show almost nothing at that location; and granted, the USGS is not infallible. It's not at all uncommon for the USGS to continue to list communities after they have essentially ceased to exist as communities; but maps do list "Popcorn Road" and "Popcorn Church Road" and "Popcorn Creek Road". Just when a community actually ceases to exist is somewhat subjective when it comes to unincorporated communities; so the general practice on Wikipedia has been to treat USGS listings as an authority of sorts, at least in terms of determining whether or not a place is recognized (unless there is better evidence to the contrary).
