There are snacks and sweets for specific occasions- cakes for birthdays, popcorn at the movies…. I don’t follow the rules – I appreciate any snack at any time, especially popcorn.

I have a whole shelf full of super buttery microwave popcorn, but I love experimenting with different flavors. My recent obsession is adding a little paprika along with extra butter and salt.

My social media is constantly bombarded popcorn ads that I never think twice about because my store-bought popcorn is excellent.

That was until I saw Opopop: a uniquely flavored gourmet popcorn created from what they call “Flavor Wrapped Popcorn Kernels,” that come in a range of unique flavors.

I tried Opopop for a month, and here’s what I thought.

Week 1: Figuring It All Out

The discovery kit comes with family-sized portions of popcorn in six different flavors and a microwave popcorn popper + lid. It also includes a Test Launch pouch of their Flavor Wrapped Kernels, so I could get my microwave’s timing right without wasting a bag. Each kernel is pre-covered in flavored seasoning – so you know you get the best overall flavor.

I had to try the flavor that seemed the most interesting first – Vanilla Cake Pop. Like ordinary popcorn, I had to put it in the microwave for 3 minutes (they recommend 2-4 minutes).

It’s super tasty; the sweet vanilla flavor is incredible and reminded me of sitting in a bakery. It was super addictive; if the first flavor was this good, I was excited to try the rest.

Week 2: Experimentation

After I finished my first Opopop bag, I couldn’t wait to rip the next bag open and give it a try. The packaging is so lovely, it’s a carton with all the different flavors in it – designed to look great on the kitchen counter, and I have it right beside my microwave. Although popcorn is usually a night snack for me, I decided to give the Cinnalicious a try – it reminds me exactly of cinnamon rolls so I figured I could probably eat it in the morning!

This week, I took care of my nephew Tal and decided to have an Opopop movie night. We had a hard time choosing but finally settled on the Fancy Butter, which has the perfect amount of butter. It didn’t taste oversaturated – and fake – like movie theatre butter. Tal’s become a massive fan. He said it’s much better than his mom’s (sorry, sis).

Week 3: The Perfect Binge Companion

What I never liked about grocery store popcorn was the weird aftertaste or the hidden residue, but none of Opopop‘s popcorn has that. After a hectic week and meeting up with friends, I couldn’t wait to sit back on Sunday night and binge watch The Good Girls on Netflix with Salted Umami – It has the perfect amount of salt and it is far from too salty. Like they mention on their website I just can’t stop eating it, this has to be the most addictive flavor yet.

Week 4: The Future Popcorn

There were only two Opopop flavors left. A few of my friends were coming over to hang out. I whipped up a few cocktails for the girls so these two flavors would be a sensational snack.

We first tried the Maui Heat, which was spicy but sweet at the same time. Who knew that fruity pineapple and spiciness would make such a tasty treat. The girls loved it, but they voted Opopop‘s Chedapeño – a mix of cheese and jalapeño – flavor of the month! I love spice, especially on popcorn and these two flavors offer exactly that – the Goldilocks amount of sweet, heat, and deliciousness.

The Verdict

Opopop has elevated this classic snack to an entirely different level, and the proof is in the taste! I have never experienced popcorn quite like this, all the flavors are absolutely delish! I just can’t stop snacking on them.

Check out Opopop now – you will not regret it.
