Tiny but Mighty kettle popcorn: This snack features a special line of heirloom kernels whose hulls disintegrate when popped. This means that there are virtually no shells to pick from your teeth after eating, (useful science!). While the kernels are small, they have the perfect balance of salty and sweet. An especially addictive snack that quickly disappears despite a 10-serving bag. The marketing claims that this product will change the way you think about popcorn forever-a tall order, but it lives up to its promise! Purc... (read more) 4.5/5.0

Clancy's sriracha lime popcorn: Another snack from Aldi, this bag of popcorn has a slightly sweet chili flavor finished with lime. Good level of spice that's suitable for snacking by the handful. No artificial ingredients or colors. 3.5/5.0

Trader Joe's popcorn in a pickle: This is a prime example of purchasing a novelty snack that had a glimmer of promise. Luckily, this one turned out worthwhile. The flavor is very distinctive, with a briny and herby (dill) flavor. I imagine this would go perfectly with a sandwich, burger, or hotdog. As a seasonal item, it definitely begs for a summer picnic or barbecue. Nonetheless, I enjoy eating it on its own but recognize that people who aren't big fans of pickles should steer clear. Luckily, I'm not one of them. 3.5/5.0

PopCorners Cheesy Jalapeño Chips: I've generally been a fan of Pop Corners, a mainstream popcorn chip brand whose products are flavorful without being over-seasoned. After stumbling across the jalapeñ cheddar flavor for the first time, I decided to give it a try. With the first chip, I thought the heat level was quite weak, but the jalapeñ sneaks up on you after several more. The flavor is kind of junk-food-like but in a satisfyingly healthy way, as you know you're eating popcorn and not some deep fried potato chip. I went t... (read more) 3.5/5.0

Trader Joe's kettle popped popcorn chips: Whole grain, circular chips that are light but flavorful. Each chip has an addicting sweet and salty coating. Contains ingredients you can feel good about (e.g., chia seeds, quinoa, flax seeds, and sunflower seeds) but doesn't taste like bad health food; in fact, it's very tasty in its own right. 4.0/5.0

Quinn Popcorn cheddar & chipotle popcorn: Organic popcorn that feels light yet had a prominent and distinct flavor. Chipotle kick is more smoky than spicy. The company prints a batch number on the package so you can learn more about where the ingredients come from. It's not something I'm personally interested in but I did it for the purposes of this review. Honestly, I really just care about whether or not it tastes good, and it does. 4.0/5.0
