DP went out to get popcorn - came back with salty shit, who the hell eats salty popcorn?!
So he went back out for some real sweet stuff ... and came back with a bag of sweet and salted!! Mixed together! Like fucking popcorn roulette!
How fucking difficult is it to go out and buy a bag of popcorn?!
I’ve given up and I’m eating Maltese’s instead 🙄

BishooWishoo I am so glad someone else remembers the divine M&S buttery popcornGrin.

The sweet and salty is surprisingly nice. I bought it once by mistake and now it’s my favourite. Try it, OP!

steppemum · 16/03/2019 22:18

you are all wrong.

popcorn is the food of the devil.

chocolate is the only way to go

Salty and sweet is better than sweet. Yabu

I'm with you OP! Salty popcorn 🤮. Sweet popcorn 🥰

MissClareRemembers · 16/03/2019 22:29

I make it at home and add nothing to it at all. The kids like. Me, I don’t go near the filthy stuff! Grin

Salty is the best, you can keep your sweet shite Grin

StickyShoess · 16/03/2019 22:32

I tried the salty and sweet - I didn’t get it, not quite sweet enough to be sweet, not quite salty enough to be salty, even more offensive than I first imagined 🤢

And let’s jot even start with all that toffee nonsense, bloody heathens!

Maltese's are a worthy substitute, so just crack on with them.

OnlineAlienator · 16/03/2019 22:38

YABU, sweet and salty is indeed 'popcorn nirvana' as stated by a pp. gavel falls

TimeIhadaNameChange · 16/03/2019 22:48

I prefer my popcorn plain. No sugar, no salt, no toffee.

Garrett’s cheese popcorn and caramel popcorn mixed. DH flew through Chicago yesterday and did not bring any home. I’m thinking of sending him back to get some.

Garrett's is ridiculously overpriced. You can just buy huge bags of cheese & caramel in the stores.

My favorite is peppermint white chocolate - only around during the holdiay season.

I've seen nothing anything like as good as Garrett's in my supermarkets, sadly.

Luckily DH goes to Chicago a lot.

I used to like Butterkist . Sweet.

Now however I have a proper like of salt and sweet mixed , or salt, then sweet last of all , I am in the menopause though, wonder if my taste bus have changed with it as I didn't used to like salted.

StoppinBy · 17/03/2019 03:42

I like the coloured popcorn that comes out round Christmas, my DH would probably buy salted and pretend like he forgot I don't like it salted though lol.

Purplelion · 17/03/2019 07:35

I am impressed at how many people like salted popcorn! I feel like I’m the only one in my family!
Sweet popcorn is just SO wrong!
Salted, buttered or both

Petalflowers · 17/03/2019 07:37

I’m with you. Can just about tolerate sweet and salty if there’s more sweet then salty in the packet.

Definitely a LTB situation!

Cuch · 17/03/2019 07:38

Try the sweet and salted - it’s so good!

greyspottedgoose · 17/03/2019 07:43

An alpen bar 😂 @h0rsewithn0name I hope you made him eat it so he learnt a lesson 🙊

You should make your own, so simple and cheap
