Popcorners...

Yes, you've read correctly, Popcorners. A few years ago I had gone to the Costco in Westbury by myself on a weekend and we know how they have free samples of things. So I see this chip that's made out of popcorn and it's gluten free, which for a person with diabetes is lovely to hear. I tried the caramel, white cheddar and the cheesy jalapeno. They had sea salt and kettle corn which I didn't try. I bought one of those huge bags I think it was around $4ish or thereabouts, they had them for a few more months and then nothing. It seems they visit Costco in the States and that's the best way to try/get them at least that was the case before, I have no idea what it's like now. So one day my husband and I are walking down the chip aisle in Woolworth's and there is a sale on these Popcorner things, now I completely forgot about them as I am not a heavy chip eater and I hadn't seen them in Costco in months before I moved here nor at this point had I eaten chips around the time of our wedding or the months getting ready to move. We bought the Cheesy Jalapeno and when we opened it and I tasted one, I was like, oh my god, I've had this before and it all came flooding back, the taste, yummy and the fact I had tried and bought them in Costco only because I got to sample them before. 

There's only one thing that sucks, the flavours that are available in the States are not available here. Kettle corn is called Sweet & Savoury, can't find White Cheddar anywhere and they have a photo of it on the back of the Butter and Cheesy Jalapeno and the Sea Salt one. The Caramel flavour is only available in those little snack sized bags which cost over $1 meanwhile you can buy the 142g (5oz) for $2.00 when it's on special (sale). I've liked their page on Facebook and noticed that they've come out with two new flavours, hopefully it won't take too long for those flavours to make it Down Under.
