Title: Things that should NOT work, but do.
Post by: K Frame on March 08, 2023, 08:23:42 AM: Came in the office this morning to find a big box of bags of various flavors of popcorn.

Grabbed a bag, opened it, and was slightly horrified. It's a combination of kettle corn and cheddar mixed together in the same bag.

No way in hell should that flavor combination work. But, somehow, oddly, it does. It's not quite brilliant together, but crap, not bad at all.

Now if they would just make a spam/cream cheese/bread&butter pickle combo...

And tortilla chips with vanilla ice cream.

Carmel Corn and Cheddar popcorn is a Chicago thing.

The party at which we tried it was hosted by a guy from Chicago, and he mentioned the popcorn. He sends tins of it out as Christmas gifts from a company in Chicago.

Make sure to mix the bag up, the caramel popcorn settles to the bottom.
