Chicago Mix Popcorn


It was only my second time to try the Chicago Mix from Chicago Popcorn Shops. The first time I tried it was few years back when they just opened their first store in SM Mall of Asia. I wanted to eat popcorn today so to satisfy my cravings, I bought a Single Size bag (P75) of Chicago Mix in their Greenbelt branch. I asked that the mix is 60-40, more caramel popcorn than cheese.


Chicago Mix Popcorn
The first time I tried this, I found it okay. I didn't eat it right away so the popcorn, especially the cheese flavored, isn't crunchy anymore. This afternoon when I decided to try it again, I ate it right after I purchased it. Since I'm not a big fan of cheese popcorn,I found nothing special about it. The caramel popcorn though was good but I'd still prefer Goldilocks or other brands over it.

The popcorn ain't bad but I guess I really won't be buying this often. Still, Chef Tony's Popcorn or Holy Kettle Corn tops my list. Chicago Popcorn Shops' Chicago Mix is so far from the addicting taste of Garrett's Popcorn!

Me too,sis. I think the cheese is so-so for me. Nothing beats Chef Tony's White Country Cheddar for me. I like their caramel though. It's not cloying and toothache inducing kind of sweet. But I still put in about 20 percent cheese in my order just for variety.

I still like their Caramel popcorn, sa Goldilocks kasi dikit dikit yung caramel. Sana magkaroon na ng Garrett's dito =)

CPS tends to overpromise on the Chicago Mix experience in my personal opinion. If I wanted a bowl of Chicago Mix (that's what they call the combination of caramel and cheese popcorn in the Windy City), I'd just lump together some classic Chef Tony's caramel and Parmesan poppers into a bowl!

I know!! pagiiiiing, Garrett's!

u8mypinkcookies said...

I think they are in MOA or Greenbelt lang...

u8mypinkcookies said...

oh nice idea! although since Im not in cheesy stuff, i'd prefer chef tony's flavors anytime!

AnneMP said...

I've never tried this before. Too bad they only have it in MOA. If it's not as good as Chef Tony's or Holy Kettle, I don't think I would go as far as MOA to taste it :)

u8mypinkcookies said...

IMO, chef tony's or holy kettle is way better. cheaper pa ;)
