Eddie Bright knew there had to be more than the simple seasonings of rock salt and pepper for the sirloin and tri tip steaks grilling with friends back in the late 1980’s. It triggered a journey of experimenting to find just the right mix which evolved over the course of 2-3 years. Named after “Pop Pop”, Eddie Brights Dad, Arthur Bright, because Eddie says “it’s always been a family business", combined with a common reaction by customers saying the mix flavor was so great it “slapped me on the back of my tongue”, Pop Pop Tongue Slapper was born.

The Bright family had strong roots in California known for the Brights Pioneer Exhibit, Le Grand, CA, Brights Nursery and Bright’s Party Barn and Catering Trailer, all of which started organically and evolving into unique businesses that still to this day generate one of a kind conversations amongst people from all walks of life that experienced them. Of course, Pop Pop Tongue Slapper was a regular staple with Eddie and Marge Bright cooking for hundreds at events and the seasoning foundation for menu offerings at the catering trailer.
