Perfect Weekend Post When I tell you, we are a family obsessed with popcorn while watching movies, you would not get it. You have to watch a movie with us to understand the amount of popcorn we gulp, throughout the movie (especially me) and not just during the interval. This worked as long as we were watching movies in the theatre, moment the Covid situation started we were forced to stick to watching movies at the comfort of our Home, where we do have a big screen, recliners, throws, everything except the gourmet popcorn.
.
We Off course stuck to ACT II popcorn that we are extremely happy with, but gourmet popcorn, is something that was out of reach.
.
That’s when two of my favorite insta influencers posted about two brands of gourmet popcorn and am going to share my views of them, one after the other, today & tomorrow.
.
First the Chennai based Timeout popcorn that I tried out first, thanks to the recommendation by a friend, that I got it delivered from Chennai to Bangalore, which had its own delivery delays and delivery costs.
While they have both ready to eat and ready to pop versions, I chose the ready to eat version. The cost of the popcorn as such is very reasonable, INR 55 onwards for 35 gms serving, I sampled 5 different flavors, Cheddar Cheese, Tangy Tomato, Spicy Jalapeno, Chinese, and Sour Cream & Onion.
I was very happy with the packaging, very neat and vibrant. Coming to taste, I absolutely loved the Sour Cream & Onion flavor which was just perfect, well balanced and tasting exactly like Satyam Cinemas popcorn we used to enjoy. The Tomato flavor was a hit too, nice and tangy, that my daughter enjoyed a lot, that’s highly recommended too. The other three flavors were a little underwhelming, the Jalapeno was good, not great, while the Cheddar Cheese needed a little too stronger seasoning to call it that. I have shared the feedback with the team and am sure they would improve. It’s highly recommended for gourmet popcorn. Order away and share your experience in the comments.
This is a brilliant initiative to bring readymade popcorn to our houses! Any party can now get easy with this simple snack! There are 8 flavours and they have done a wonderful job in curating these flavours as well as retaining the original flavour of the popcorn! Every flavour is an artwork by itself!
My picks out of the 8:
1. Cheddar Cheese popcorn-yummy cheesy flavouring mixed with popcorn.
2. Chocolate popcorn-yes two favourites into one! And this was heavenly! They have added a pinch of salt to enhance the flavour and I loved this!
3. Sour cream popcorn-again a flavour you don’t get anywhere. Very very addictive.
4. Cheese-totally different from the cheddar cheese. This one is for those who love cheese, but like it when the flavour is mild.
5. Caramel-caramel sauce mixed with popcorn, which gives it the crunch. One box would sound too little

A flavour for each kind of taste bud!! Chocolate (YES, you heard it right) and caramel are my personal favourites.
A huge thumbs up!!!
