Orville Redenbacher experimented with thousands of types of corn, looking for one which would pop up lighter and fluffier than typical popcorn. By the 1960s he was selling popcorn out of the back of his car, and in 1971 he introduced Redenbacher's Gourmet Popping Corn, which is now one of the nation's top-selling microwave popcorns. Orville was born in 1907 in Brazil.
