I don't like caramel popcorn. It just tastes wrong to me. My favorite popcorn is cheese, especially from The Popcorn Factory. Expensive so only every 5 years.

I like both caramel and cheese but what I find very troubling is when at Christmas time and vendors and the like (part of my past life) give the huge cans filled with all 3 (plain salted too) to their customers, but Santa must have been tossing it around and there's cheese in the caramel and vise versa. not good at all!!!

I love all kinds of popcorn.
There hasn’t been much I don’t like
Trying to think of flavors I don’t enjoy
I have popcorn seasoning in my kitchen about 4 different flavors. Not a big fan of sweet popcorn (it’s hella good) but caramel hurts my teeth and chocolate is just OMG this is so wrong 😂

I am a tad strange. I do enjoy popcorn with no salt or butter just plain.
I also my go to when I see a movie (because I can’t handle the butter )
I put the jalapeños they have out and I get the relish packets and mustard. I put it on my popcorn. Yes this might sound strange but think about it your eating corn.. I mean it’s just fluffy corn lol 😆
I just can’t do the extra butter thing my stomach wants to pick up and leave if I ever try that.

I don't think there's any relation (to my knowledge, at least)... it's just a coincidence that they share the same British good looks!

Tysm everyone who's replied! I love the pics you guys posted @Road to Nowhere & @FFurry
The listen to everyone one because it's definitely very good advice and part of it (the end, basically) I sometimes forget to keep in mind.
The Dr.Dawkins & Emma Watson pics are hilarious, yup I completely agree that they both have the British good looks imo

Richard Dawkins is an evolutionary biologist who wrote a book called The God Delusion and Emma Watson is an actor who was in the Harry Potter films. I don't think they're related but they look very similar here. Mind you, that's a good pic of Dawkins. I think you're right, photoshopped.

Mmmmmmm popcorn cafe! Thanks for the invite @JMG

Sorry it's taken so long to reply, it's been a manically busy few days at work.

1. Have you ever tried caramel popcorn?
Yes
1a. If yes - Do you like it?
Absolutely! Every Christmas Costco sold a tub of popcorn called Poppycock - it was clusters of popcorn, almonds and pecans covered in caramel. It was the best bit of Christmas. But they haven't had it for a couple of years now so I can only dream...

2. Do you like regular popcorn?
I LOVE popcorn. Although cheese popcorn? No, that just sounds totally wrong and quite scary.

3. What is your favorite kind of chocolate (dark, milk, white, etc)?
Milk chocolate, preferably from either Belgium or Switzerland.

4. What are some of your other fave foods?
Cheesy things (although not popcorn!) - pizza, Mac n cheese, grilled cheese on toast, cheese and crackers, cheese omelet, deep fried camembert..... Get my drift?

cheese popcorn? No, that just sounds totally wrong and quite scary.

I did a quick search and it looks like there are some places online you can buy Poppycock popcorn. Amazon for one. Not sure how affordable it would be though, and also I know some people aren't comfortable buying things online. But just thought I'd let you know if you really still wanted to buy it there are options out there.
Lol about cheese popcorn, it's actually really yummy, I highly recommend at least trying it at some point if you get a chance.
