A few weeks ago, I went to a movie
party at a friend’s house where an array of random foods were made available
such as spaghetti and tomato sauce, peanut butter Oreos, and apple ale. But the one snack that really caught my attention
was a bag of Indiana, Popcorn Drizzled Cinnamon Sugar Kettlecorn. Oh…my…gosh.
If magic had a taste, this would be it.
It wasn’t too sweet, it didn’t get stuck in my teeth, and it was just
divine. After about the third handful, I
noticed melted drizzled cinnamon sugar in my hands. At this point I was so hooked that I
shamelessly licked it off. Judge me. I
don’t care. It was so good.
Days went by and I thought about this kettle
corn. I searched and searched and it was
nowhere to be found. I even looked
online and there were a only a select few places that I could get it from but I
don’t care how delicious something is, I refuse to pay $9 shipping and handling
for a $3 bag of popcorn. I’m a fat ass
not a lunatic. So I texted my friend to
ask him where he bought it and he simply said, “The deli down the street”. Ughhh. Traveling to Manhattan (from Long
Island) for a small bag of food is just as dumb as paying a shipping and
handling fee that is three times the product.
Fortunately, I’m not a quitter. I kept
searching and I saw an article online about how someone bought a bag at Whole
Foods. Eureka! There was a Whole Foods less than ten minutes
from my house. I arrived at the store,
fingers crossed, and right at the entrance…various flavors of Popcorn, Indiana. The treasure hunt was over. However, there was a catch. They didn’t have the Drizzled Cinnamon Sugar. As a tear rolled down my face, I grabbed a
bag of Drizzled Black & White Kettlecorn and a bag of White Fudge Hot
Cinnamon Drizzlecorn as it was advertised as 2 for $6. I also grabbed a larger bag of Aged White
Cheddar popcorn. I reached the register
and lo and behold, another problem. It didn’t
ring up as 2 for $6. One of them rang up
as $4.19. The cashier then calls what I can
only assume was a manager and asks her and she said that if I don’t buy two of
the same flavor then it is not 2 for $6.
I never heard of such a thing in the history of grocery shopping-dom. Two of the same kind? I knew she was lying and just didn’t want to
help a customer because she refused to come read the sign. I gave up and just bought the bags at the
incorrect price because at this point I just wanted this to be over. I mean its popcorn, not a one night stand
with Brad Pitt for goodness sake.
I went
home thinking the hot cinnamon would be disgusting just to put the icing on
this crap mission. But it was
fantastic. Even better than the cinnamon
sugar. It surprised me because I actually
hate those Red Hots cinnamon candies. I think
it was because the sweetness of the white fudge balanced the spicy cinnamon.
As for the Drizzled Black & White,
absolutely marvelous. But that’s a no
brainer. It’s chocolate!
I was so pleased. It was all worth it. I can’t wait to try the rest of the flavors
especially the Chocolate Peanut Butter Kettlecorn.
