Rich butter notes, sweet brown sugar and a crème brûlée crunch combined.

True to its name! This was a lot of fun to snack on!
PRETTY GOOD
5th NYT COOKING’S CINNAMON TOAST POPCORN
Soots Cook Nook, Private
I rarely pop corn because it can be such a drag dealing with burnt popcorn and/or too many un-popped kernels: both very unsatisfying outcomes. But I thought I’d give ATK’s “Perfectly Popped Corn” tips a whirl and I’m happy to say I like the results. First, you pop a few test kernels in high-smoke-point oil (such as canola or peanut) to determine when optimal temperature has been reached and then remove the pan from the heat as soon as they pop. You then add the rest of the kernels (1/3 cup), cover the pan, and wait 30 seconds (to allow all kernels to heat evenly) before returning it to the stove (lid slightly ajar and shaking the pan) to finish popping the corn which is when the popping slows to 1 to 2 seconds between pops. And with that, have a happy Popcorn Day!
7th NYT COOKING’S SPICY CARAMEL POPCORN
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Spicy, smoky, sweet, sticky and salty, possibly to match the tenor of a historic trial.
8th AMERICAN FARMER RED WHITE & BLUE KETTLE CORN
Soots Cook Nook, Private
Hunkering down for the blockbuster testimony 3 years ago and remembering the 🍿 on today’s Veep debate.
9th EUREKA GOURMET SEAWEED POPCORN
Eureka, Johor Bahru
Yes, you get some of the seaweed but it's a tad sweet.
10th EUREKA SPICY CUTTLEFISH POPCORN
Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur
Courtesy once again, of @furflebear. Pungent, super spicy and screaming for a cold beer to be digested with. 🌶🦑🥵
11th EUREKA CRISPY RENDANG CHICKEN POPCORN
Soots Cook Nook, Private
I got to try this intriguing flavor of popcorn courtesy of @furflebear. Let’s just say it was an interesting gustatory experience that began moreish, but then descended into saccharine, ending with a bitter aftertaste. 5-6 kernels in, it got to be a lil’ much. This earned a rating of “pretty good” but it was by no means forgettable. Had this to go with the sparkling wine from @cicig. In hindsight, the popcorn would probably have been better paired with a stein of fresh beer. Nonetheless, what were the chances of yours truly consuming gifts simultaneously from 2 eaten users separated by ~9000 miles?
