Mobile Popcorn!

We've been having movie nights and trying different popcorn. We like sweet and salt.

Aldi Rank yak
Asda acceptable
Home Bargains. Very average
Lidl. Too salty
Proper corn asda. Ok
Metcalfes. Average

Mackie's. Super yum loved it but was only on temporary at lidl

So does anyone know if Mackie's is available anywhere outside of Scotland?

Any other recommendations?

Mackies is often in Home Bargains
Tyrell’s is good
Posh corn from Waitrose
But I actually like Aldi’s sweet and salty one 😃

We did try the microwave packs that are 25p in b&m but struggled to pop it enough without burning it.

I've seen Mackie's crisps in home bargs but not popcorn

Maybe we just got a bad batch from aldi - it was quite brown and tasted burned.

We'll see what co-op's are like this week.

I love sweet and salty popcorn I reckon I’ve tried them all ! My favourite is Tesco’s own and coop, Sainsbury’s used to do their own, but I haven’t seen them in their for ages, also can recommend the sweet and salty corners, I’ve only seen them in Sainsbury’s

Buy a bag of corn kernels and make your own, so easy and fun. Just as quick on the hob as microwave!
