Popcorn

I love popcorn, it is my favorite snack. When I am traveling I like to get a bag and munch on that verses candy, chips or anything else. So today, on my travels to Clarinda, Iowa we stop at a Casey's in Villisca, Iowa to get a bite to eat. I grab a bag of popcorn, Smartfood Popcorn Movie Theater Butter Flavored made by Frito-Lay. Says it is made with all-natural ingredients so I thought I was going to have a great snack. I really got excited when it said Movie Theater Butter Flavored. I visit the Windsor Theatre in Hampton, Iowa the most and they have the best movie theater popcorn (I know they say it isn't the best for us, but I sure do like it). Well Frito-Lay needs to take some popcorn cooking lessons because the bag of popcorn I bought at Casey's is the worst tasting popcorn I have ever ate. I doubt the birds will eat this. Either the people who made this go to a really bad movie theater that doesn't know how to make good popcorn or they just plain don't know what good popcorn tastes like. Their product is not to be compared to Windsor Theatre popcorn because there is no comparison. So Frito-Lay, I will never buy another bag of your popcorn because it is not good, you disappointed me. This is only my opinion. You might like it, just does not taste good to me. Taste it for yourself and make up your own mind.

  1. The Windsor needs to do ONE thing to make their popcorn better, a trick I learned when I ran a popcorn stand for a summer. There are holes in the bottom of the popcorn unit. This is for the operator to swish the popcorn over so the old maids drop through. I've told them about it several times, but, they still don't do it -- so I nearly break a tooth eating it now and then.

    But it's good, none the less.
