Butter Please

 

Not only do I have to decide what movie I want to see, now I have to decide what flavor popcorn I want.  I remember when the only two options of popcorn were with or without butter.  Now choosing what flavor popcorn I want when I go to the movies is an experience in itself.  

Well, I guess when choosing my popcorn flavor I have to decide if I want dinner, dessert, or a snack on my popcorn.  To get a complete understanding of what I mean here is a list of the unique popcorn seasoning flavors.

• White Cheddar
• Nacho Cheddar
• Butter
• Ranch
• Parmesan & Garlic
• Carmel
• Sour Cream & Onion
• Salt
• Kettle Corn
• Cheesy Jalapeno
• Apple Cinnamon
• Chocolate Marshmallow
• Barbeque
• Cajun
• Chili Lime
• Salt & Vinegar
• Milk Chocolate Carmel
• Jalapeño
• Pizza
• Bacon Cheddar
• Buffalo Wing

Wow, who would have thought that you could have pizza popcorn, buffalo wing popcorn, and apple cinnamon popcorn?  I am guessing you want to know if I tried any of these unique flavors.  For the purposes of having a unique movie experience, I sure did.  I actually tried seven different flavors throughout several weeks and I must say my favorite is, wait for it, Parmesan & Garlic!!  For me this flavor popcorn fit my taste buds because I love parmesan cheese and garlic flavors.  However, I did have a major aftertaste which in turn made me drink more soda, which is essentially what movie theaters want.

The pizza flavoring was interesting, it actually tasted like you were eating a pizza.  I however enjoy eating a real piece of pizza instead of on my popcorn.  The Cajun flavoring was also very good however it got a little hot for my taste buds.   The salt and vinegar popcorn seasoning was good; it tasted just like salt and vinegar chips.  The barbeque flavor popcorn was okay, however I prefer barbeque flavor on ribs as opposed to popcorn.

So now that I have experienced a different spin on traditional popcorn, I challenge each and every one of you who is reading my blog to try a different flavor of popcorn besides butter the next time you go to the movies!
