Garrett's Makes Chicago's Most Iconic Popcorn | Legendary Eats

[@hariniobla422]

As a person who visited Chicago, i can tell you this popcorn is NOT overhyped. It really is amazing. I am a health freak and i can resist any kind of candy, chocolate and junk. But when this popcorn comes about, lord i can't control myself :')

Ppl just say handmade blah blah every opportunity when selling stuff coz thats more appealing I guess...

[@andrepavatoni]

Well, the popcorn you can buy in some cinemas here is made at a central place 1-2 days before it gets sold to customers. I‘d say that‘s the opposite of handcrafted, fresh popcorn.

I grew up in Illinois and where I live we had a shop called Karmelcorn. They sold Icee slushes and many different flavors of popcorn but everyone I know got a Mix. I remember the first time I had Garett, I was blown away by how much better it was. Now I go to a local place called Holland's Popcorn and their Holland's Mix is comparable to Garrett. Unfortunately a company in Minnesota trademarked the name Chicago Mix, but just like the Sears Tower we don't call it by it's renamed title. We call it what it is. Chicago Mix
