In 1968 Lincoln Snacks developed a nut-free, kosher sugar glazed popcorn with a strong yellow color—as a variant of their other popcorn products, Fiddle Faddle and Poppycock.
When Lincoln executives invited major ad agencies in Chicago to pitch ideas for a name and marketing concept, a small agency, Hurvis, Binzer & Churchill won the account, naming the product "Screaming Yellow Zonkers" and presenting it in a black box with bold graphics, detailed illustrations and funny text.
Zonkers were discontinued when Conagra acquired Lincoln Foods in 2007.[1] Conagra reintroduced Zonkers on a limited edition basis for Walgreens, as of 2012.[2]
