best popcorn EVER!!!


my all-time favorite popcorn "award" goes to dale and thomas popcorn!

i first became obsessed with their popcorn when they used to be popcorn indiana (i believe the name change was due to some legal battle with the actual city, popcorn, indiana, over trademarking..?? i don't know. a store employee told me the gist a LONG time ago.) ANYWAY, i would get at least a bag or two a week. until i decided to start my own business (that i am currently not working on) and finally quit my job that was a dead end for me. i had to give up a lot of things and learn how to live like a poor person. no more $5 bags of popcorn for me. it was really, really tough. because when i say their popcorn is DAMN-FUCKING-GOOD, i mean it's DAMN-FUCKING-GOOD. so good that EVERY time someone visits me, they take dale and thomas popcorn back with them for family and friends.

they have a ton of different flavors/concoctions and make the popcorn fresh daily (watching that tumbler thing is pretty mesmerizing). they have plain ol' popcorn to peanut butter & white chocolate drizzle (!!!). cheese used to be my favorite until my i'm-fucking-getting-older tastebuds decided to go kaput on me. so now my fave is their plain -- not even salted plain -- just p-l-a-i-n.

when i used to live close to one, my routine pre-movie was to grab a couple of [formerly known as pocorn indiana] bags and stop at a deli for some [non-movie expensive] cokes. bliss.

a bag will run you anywhere from $3 - $7.50 (depending on size and flavor). it may sound expensive for popcorn, but it's no more expensive than the rape-you-of-your-money movie theaters crap. and a thousand times more worth it. because it doesn't taste like ass.
