"Have you ever wondered what the best way to get an amphibian wasted is? Popcorn has the answer. He asks: ‘Do you know how to make a frog drunk? I bet you don't. But I do. I fired my pot up one morning and got it going real good. It had just started running high shots. That is what you call it when it first starts to come out. For so many jugs, then it turns to backins. Anyway here come hopping up to the still a damn big frog. I thought to myself ol' boy I'll make you drunk as hell. I had heard all my life that a frog will absorb things through its skin. So I got me a can lid and caught me some of that high shots and I dropped it slowly on the old frogs back. Real soon its throat started to swell up and then all at once that frog started singing like hell. When he stopped singing he flopped over in the leaves and didn't move till I got done running that likker. I guess he passed out. Anyway when I come back the next morning to sweeten it back he was not there. I guess one good damn drunk taught him a lesson.’"

I have a jar of his moonshine soaked cherries in my fridge--A relative gave them to me for Christmas. That's the smoothest damn liquor I've ever tasted.

A sad day for us mountain folk

I worked in Maggie Valley for a few summers during college. Popcorn was a local tourist attraction driving around in his antique auto.

Man, this sucks. Popcorn made some of the best liquor you've evr tasted. He was a true legend. Apparantly, he killed himself by carbon monoxide poisoning in his truck. He didn't want to end up in prison for the 18 months he was sentenced. Another case of the government pushing good people to their limits.

NC State video producer Neal Hutcheson distilled the art of making moonshine into an Emmy-winning documentary. “The Last One,” featuring one-of-a-kind bootlegger Marvin “Popcorn” Sutton, won a golden statuette Saturday in Atlanta as the Southeast region’s best cultural documentary.
