The other day a few co-workers were walking around with little bowls of what looked like a cheddar cheese and caramel popcorn mix. I saw a few go back for seconds and then thirds. So I made my way over to this giant blue tin of popcorn and scooped myself a little bowl. Holy crap, batman! This was popcorn heaven! I had no idea such a simple snack could be prepared so well. "Rich" is the best word to describe this stuff because you can only eat a few handfuls before you start feeling full. Like Double-Double at In N Out Burger full. This popcorn was good.
Garrett's popcorn started in Chicago in 1949 and has since been featured on Oprah's list of "My Favorite Things." They've made popcorn into an art form.They use only the "highest quality ingredients" and never incorporated fat or oils into the popping process. They use their own privately grown blend of kernals and real cheddar cheese and homemade caramel. No artificial powder here!
Garrett comes in three main flavors: CaramelCrisp, CheeseCorn, and Butter flavored. They also have a few others. The cheese and caramel popcorn mix is incredible. Seriously, I could eat an entire tin myself...over the course of a month or so. So good.
I was so excited to order a tin for myself, but unfortunately I saw the price and changed my mind. It's funny, a quote on their website says, "We know our popcorn costs more...but it is worth it. We're sure you'll agree."
Um, no. It is $135 plus shipping for a 6 gallon tin of this stuff! No, you heard me right. $135 for popcorn! Seriously?.....SERIOUSLY??
Garrett, you broke my heart.
