Chicago Mix from Garrett's Popcorn

Popcorn is something I consider as a comfort food. Though I don't like the microwavable ones or those sold in the movie house, I'm a big fan of the sweet & salty kind. I like Holy Kettle Corn, Chef Tony and Kettle Korn, but my fave is GARRETT'S POPCORN.

I first discovered Garrett's in Universal Studios in Singapore. I ordered the Caramel Pecan Crisp and it was SO DAMN GOOD. Caramel popcorn with pecan nuts... oooohh perfect! Just a couple of months ago, someone gave me a small bag of Garrett's Chicago Mix popcorn. It's a mixture of cheese and caramel popcorn... hmmm, interesting!


I am not so fond of cheesy stuff but I liked this one! The sweet caramel and salty cheese flavor complements each other. It's not so nakakaumay unlike if you order a whole bag of caramel (though I don't mind, I love sweet stuff anyway). A small bag costs about P250+ if converted to our currency. Not bad coz it's good for sharing.

I wish we have Garrett's here. :( I tried Chicago Popcorn Shops in Greenbelt before but I found it uhmmm, just okay. Paging Garrett's Popcorn, please put up a branch in Manila!!! :)

I like caramel popcorn :) It sure would be nice to bring Garrett's here in the Philippines. I'm sure it's going to sell.

I loooove Garrett's Chicago Mix! Looking forward to my SG trip in a couple of months yayyyy!

Have you tried pala bringing back a bag or a tin can to Manila? Does it get makunat? I want to bring some home sana eh hehe. :))

^ this was actually a pasalubong, it's in a small bag. The cheese got a bit makunat but ok pa rin, unlike the other popcorn na kadiri na if makunat. :)

Not a big popcorn fan, but the flavor combo sounds interesting. Have you tried PopCorners popcorn chips, by the way? They're disturbingly addictive crunchies...

@midge: not yet... Interesting! I'll look for one :)
