Pop Weaver: Kettle Corn
B108/box of 3 packs
Looks: Just like Emma Watson’s new haircut, some love it; others think it’s rather dull and dry. Judging by the lack of yellowy hue, it’s no secret that this popcorn isn’t packing any butter (for those who want to still fit into that red carpet gown).
Taste: Runner up to our BK Pick, it has the perfect balance between being a bit sweet and nicely salted, quite different from the kettle corn you would get at an American county fair.
Jolly Time: BUTTER LICIOUS
B136/box of 3 packs
Looks: Looks aren’t everything. This popcorn is utterly bland-looking, tiny, and has absolutely no puff to it. It’s just plain ugly.
Taste: They may be small, but these popped kernels are packed with real buttery goodness. The big crunch is the way movie popcorn should be, so you can obnoxiously munch away if the movie gets boring. The butter also tastes the most natural and is not oily like the others.
Pop Weaver: Extra Butter
B108/box of 3 packs
Looks: It has the best, most even color with a nice touch of yellow butter all round.
Taste: One of BK tasters dubbed this popcorn “a mix of cardboard and Indian pickles” and we have to agree that there’s definitely something vegetable-like about them. The smell of the butter leaves a weird staleness in your nose. Looks like canola oil is a bad idea.
Pop Secret: Movie Theatre Butter
B118/ box of 3 packs
Appearance: As big, fluffy and natural as Pamela Anderson’s cleavage.
Taste: Sometimes, it’s just too much. BK tasters agreed that this popcorn is trying too hard. Each puff is greasy and the butter tastes as artificial as its fluorescent yellow color suggests.
