Snack Review
Taste test: This bag was filled nearly to the top with fairly large kernels with an off-white color generally, plus some shiny spots here and there.
I crunched in to find a slightly mushy, occasionally crisp feel, with a sweetness/saltiness balance that varied from one kernel to the next. This was one of the rare bags of kettle corn that compared itself very explicitly to the stuff sold fresh at a farmer's market, but it didn't quite get into that range of texture or taste (and some other packaged ones have come far closer). The fresh stuff stands out most for the lightness and crispness of the sugary exterior, but this didn't duplicate that feel very well.
Shop: Buy popcorn on Amazon
Smell test: Slightly burnt popcorn smell.
From the package: “A perfect combination of both sweet and salty popcorn made with the finest ingredients.” ... “Ours tastes just as delicious as the kettlecorn from your local farmer's market!” ... “Made in USA from domestic and imported ingredients.”
