GIBSONIA, Pennsylvania (AP) -- A Cub Scout has sold an eye-popping 10 tons of popcorn, a sales record.
Ryan Cenk, 10, of the Pittsburgh suburb of Richland Township, sold $25,006 worth of Trail's End popcorn products, topping the old record in the Scouts' annual popcorn sale by about $5,000.
Ryan more than doubled his sales with one call to ATM Corp., a company that provides mortgage lending services. The company's vice president heard the scout's spiel and decided the popcorn tins would make perfect gifts for employees. The company bought $13,500 worth of popcorn.
Ryan took the phone away from his ear, looked up and said, "Mom, he wants 450 of the three-way tins," his mother, Colleen Cenk, said. "I got on the extension to make sure there was no misunderstanding."
As a reward, Trail's End is flying Ryan to Walt Disney World. He also has been asked to speak at the company's annual sales meeting in Orlando, Florida.
