The Town of Odyssey

This thread seems appropriate based on recent #aio discussions.

I admit I tend to like buttery movie-theater-type popcorn, although it isn't very healthy. Maybe I'd like something else more if it was made, but you don't have very many options when it comes to microwave popcorn.

I've never been a big popcorn person, but if I were to name a favorite it would be kettle corn.

I like movie popcorn or microwave popcorn (extra butter). I really like white cheddar popcorn, and also dill pickle popcorn, and caramel corn...basically, I like popcorn.

I like the movie theater butter microwave popcorn. I remember from when I was a teenager trying an Orville Redenbacher flavor called cracked black pepper, I think? I really liked that, but I don't think they make it any more.

Sam’s Club has this big bag of Reese’s Popcorn that is pretty smackin, but it’s also basically just a handful of sugar.

That sounds super yummy, EK! You've reminded me that I have a bag of Oreo popcorn that I bought because it looked good, but I haven't actually tried it yet.

So I apparently didn't like it enough to pay attention to it being on the shelves or not for many years, but I do remember liking that kind at some point in past decades.

But yeah actually I dunno for whatever reason microwave popcorn just doesn't do it for me so I don't really ever get it. Occasionally I get free popcorn from the theater through their rewards program, and that's pretty cool. Or occasionally get stuff from the weird gourmet popcorn place in town (good for them, but it seems weird that would be a self-sufficient business in a small-ish city). I like all the weird sugar kinds but my favorite is the spicy kind the local place calls "Afterburn" or "Afterbirth" or something.

I like kettle corn. It has some unusual flavor/property that makes it more interesting and tasty. In general I don't eat a lot of popcorn though. And unfortunately for one of my relatives who thinks Cracker Jack is a cute and tasty gift, it is not. It's so unlike popcorn that I re-gift it to kids in my neighborhood who appreciate such things.

Since I had to have all my teeth pulled I don't consume popcorn much if at all these days. However, I always liked caramel popcorn in the Christmas tins.

Caramel popcorn!
