King of Pop: Critic’s Choice Gourmet Popcorn Sampler Review + Giveaway

My favorite season has arrived – Award Season!!

When I met my husband for the first time I mentioned to him that if there was an award show on the television I would be sucked in to watch it. There is something magical, amazing and at times shocking. When there are awards shows on I watch the outfits, the categories and the speeches.

When I was contacted recently from KingofPop.com for a review and saw their The Critics Choice Gourmet Popcorn Sampler I thought this was the perfect way for me to join ranks in the upcoming awards season.

True Jerky’s Turkey Jerky Review

True Jerky’s *NEW* Turkey Jerky Review + Giveaway

I have mentioned in the past that one of my favorite things is when companies introduce new products. Since starting this blog I have discovered that jerky is one of my favorite things and that there are as many varieties as I am willing to sample.

As many readers know I am in San Diego, and I am a proud San Diegan. One of the highlights of my reviewing journey is when I have the opportunity to review local companies.

When I attended the Natural Expo West Show in Anaheim last year, I came upon True Jerky (previously known as True Gentleman’s Jerky). The thing that got my attention were the unique flavors and with the new release of their three turkey jerky flavors, my attention has been gotten again.

Pipcorn: Delicious Mini Popcorn Review

Pipcorn – Truffle and Sea Salt Review + Giveaway

Each week, on Friday nights, we watch Shark Tank. There are days that we look at each other and wonder who would purchase the product that they are introducing the audience too. Other days we wonder how the world has survived without the product in their lives.

One of these products that we wondered about was a hulless popcorn that we saw on the show called Pipcorn by Pipsnacks. What got our attention the most was that this mini popcorn had made Oprah’s Favorite Things list twice and touted as easier to digest, is kinder to teeth and seeing overall reaction when eaten.

Boulder Canyon Crisps Review

Boulder Canyon: Snap Pea Crisps and Ancient Grains Crisps Review + Giveaway

When I was younger I was not very adventurous in my culinary selections. I wanted cheesy corn chips, the potato chips with ridges and those puffy cheese puffs.

Cosmos Creations: Premium Puffed Corn Review

Cosmos Creations – Premium Puffed Corn Review + Giveaway

It has been mentioned on this blog in the past, nut we are a snack house. Many times we will have our meals, and shortly after we will raid our snack pile.

One snack that we are big fans of but has a downside is popcorn. Popcorn is easily the most versatile snack that almost any spice, seasoning and sweetness can be paired with. With the versatility of popcorn there is a downside – the kernels getting into the teeth.

When I attended the Natural Products Expo last March, I met a company that took the goodness of the popcorn and removed the kernels, making the goodness of popcorn available without the negatives – Cosmos Creations Puffed Corn.
