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

Smartfood Spicy Jalapeño Ranch popcorn: For last minute ingredients, I sometimes find myself at Safeway when all other options are closed. Their snack aisles are stocked with brands Berkeley Bowl would never carry, including this bag of Frito-Lay Smartfood popcorn. I still remember enjoying the white cheddar popcorn in lunch bag snack packs growing up, so I decided to give this spicy jalapeño ranch flavor a try. It was spicier than I expected, but I don’t think jalapeño and ranch are a particularly good flavor combination; on thei... (read more) 2.0/5.0

The Little Kernel White cheddar popcorn: I had big hopes for Little Kernel, with its cute packaging and promise of kernel-free popcorn snacking. Unfortunately, while the fat content is quite high, I found the cheese flavor underwhelming and borderline bland. The kernels were small, though. 2.5/5.0

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

T-Pops Tarako Salted cod roe popcorn: Purchased from Tokyo Fish Market, this small bag of popcorn from T-Pops contains dense miniature kernels with a seasoned but not easily identifiable flavoring. It doesn’t taste like seafood, which I expected because of the salted cod flavoring and it’s dressed with a noticeable amount of oil. Not particularly good popcorn, or unique flavor. 2.5/5.0

Trader Joe's Chicago Popcorn Mix: A combination of caramel and cheddar popcorn. No doubt, this is an indulgent snack. Both flavors are a little too rich for my taste, but that didn't stop me from consuming the whole bag in an embarrassingly few number of days. 3.5/5.0
