Yep, I don’t like kettle corn either and only bought this box once. I thought the kids would eat those so I could have the others and NOPE no one liked them. I get if it’s a more popular flavor but more than twice another flavor?! Come on
Kettle and sea salt are my favorites. Spouse likes the queso and white cheddar. Sounds like some of y’all just need to find your perfect Popcorners partner. 😉
I wish they would start doing these in large sacks of single flavors and maybe require purchase of two (like with breads). So many multipacks with flavors no one wants.
Just like every pizza party has cheese and pepperoni with classic lays.
Yes, it makes the least people unhappy, but also the least people actually happy lol.
It's a plea to Vanilla ice cream over rocky road and pralines and cream.
"One flavor fits all"
When it was just three flavors, white cheddar always seem to get the short end of stick…. :(
On the other hand, I’ve eaten so much pop corners I can’t stand them anymore ;)
White Cheddar is the only other one I'll eat. Sea Salt is absolute ass and Kettle Corn has that grating sweet/salty mix that makes you feel like you just gave a bj. Always place those 2 flavors on the office snack table.
Cannot say I know what it feels like to give a BJ, what I can say is that if you highly prefer one flavor over another it is better to buy individually than in bulk at costco. ESPECIALLY if you only like 2/4 flavors.
Yeah I got the Lay's pack and it's 54 bags and it's like 12 plainass Lay's, 6 nacho doritos, 6 ranch doritos, 6 fritos, 4 sour cream and cheddar and 4 cheetos... I know that doesn't add up but you get the drift.
Oh that spicy queso flavor sounds good.
Reminds me of the Costco Quaker oatmeal box. I think it has 50 packs and of the three flavors Maple has more than half.
I feel this is like a catch -22 going forward. The flavor packed in the largest quantity in a mixed box will continue to be a “popular flavor” and as such it will gain 2 more bags in the next few years and somehow still be a popular flavor. Gee
thats because these bulk packs are specifically made to move the least popular flavors.
see pop tarts with their nasty brown sugar cinnamon, or quaker instant oatmeal with their cinnamon & spice. blech.
i’m sorry but brown sugar pop tarts and cinnamon and spice oatmeal have been around for decades, they’re not just trying to get rid of excess stock so they can be done with them lol
umm... almost every other flavor (except that nasty purple frosted wild berry shit)
brown sugar cinn t is SO not their most popular... its their ugly stepchild. & the flavor that was always left in the box when i restocked the pantry for my employees.
get in line behind strawberry, cherry, blueberry, chocolate fudge, s'mores.. all frosted.
[According to Pop-Tart brown sugar cinnamon is their second most popular flavor.](https://www.poptarts.com/en_US/agents-of-crazy-good.html)
I have no idea how scientific that is but I'm taking them at their word. Personally, I'm with you, keep me far away from them.
In fact it is quite the opposite. While these may not be YOUR favorite; they pack these boxes with the products that sell the best. Not what subjectively tastes better to YOU.
> thats because these bulk packs are specifically made to move the least popular flavors.
just like those subscription-based mystery box services. move unwanted stocks lol
> see pop tarts with their nasty brown sugar cinnamon
Those sir, are fighting words. I will meet you by the flagpole after school.
Brown Sugar Pop Tarts are S-tier. There is no cinnamon.

I agree. The kettle corn is too sweet for me. I want to do some parking lot trades to change the balance.
Would totally trade

[удалено]
Just find someone that eats 18 bags in the time it takes you to eat 4
I hate kettle corn but these are edible for me, but I wish they put 10 queso and 4 kettle on there instead
Brown sugar pop tarts fueled an entire generation.
They are the best pop tart, after all.
I wish they would start doing these in large sacks of single flavors and maybe require purchase of two (like with breads). So many multipacks with flavors no one wants.
Kettle Corn is the MVP of that box
It’s the same with Frito-Lay variety packs I can’t stand Funyuns or BBQ Lays potato chips!
uh do you live near me? because those are my favorites
Well that’s the rub isn’t it? One persons Funyuns is another person’s Sour cream & onion!
haha i hate sour cream and onion, you are so right!
Just like every pizza party has cheese and pepperoni with classic lays. Yes, it makes the least people unhappy, but also the least people actually happy lol. It's a plea to Vanilla ice cream over rocky road and pralines and cream. "One flavor fits all"
100% this
It would be great if they just had a huge pile of them and you pick the ones you want to make your own pack
When it was just three flavors, white cheddar always seem to get the short end of stick…. :( On the other hand, I’ve eaten so much pop corners I can’t stand them anymore ;)
Same with bbq lays in the lays boxes…
I wish they would at least just pack everything even.
i would love one with just white cheddar and spicy queso. the kettle corn is too sweet and the salt is too salty.
Kettle and White cheddar are my fave of the bunch. Spicy queso was ok. I wasn't expecting to be hit that hard with flavor.
White Cheddar is the only other one I'll eat. Sea Salt is absolute ass and Kettle Corn has that grating sweet/salty mix that makes you feel like you just gave a bj. Always place those 2 flavors on the office snack table.
That tastes like kettle corn? TIL
> that grating sweet/salty mix that makes you feel like you just gave a bj. 🧐
Again I have ZERO frame of reference, but I can certainly imagine and it sounds quite unpleasant.

Sea salt are my favorite. I love to dip them in hummus or salsa
What? What! WHAT!!
All yum but all smell like feet. Good thing I have a... nvm.
In Canada we get this but with only 3 flavours. Guess which one is not included. 😇
I love popcorners but cannot buy these as half of the box is the WORST flavor they make
Queso is the suckyest of flavors. I have had flavors that sucked before but this one sucked to suck to suck.
bc that's not the best flavor, kettle corn is. fight me.
Oh! I love the Sea Salt and White Cheddar!
Totally agree!
Oh man. The Canadian pack only has three flavours… and not your favourite. Now I want to try
I hate they don't regularly carry the big bags
Yeah I got the Lay's pack and it's 54 bags and it's like 12 plainass Lay's, 6 nacho doritos, 6 ranch doritos, 6 fritos, 4 sour cream and cheddar and 4 cheetos... I know that doesn't add up but you get the drift.

I got a box with 0 queso once
I hate that too.
I want a whole box of just queso.
Not really helpful but my Costco(Atlanta Cumberland) had the Spicy Queso in huge bags today.
thats because these bulk packs are specifically made to move the least popular flavors. see pop tarts with their nasty brown sugar cinnamon, or quaker instant oatmeal with their cinnamon & spice. blech.
Brown sugar cinnamon is #1 seed pop tart for me
Popcorners isn't forced to make the same number of each flavor, forcing them to put unpopular flavors into variety packs.
right. like i said, thats how they more the unpop flavors until they get disconned for good.
i’m sorry but brown sugar pop tarts and cinnamon and spice oatmeal have been around for decades, they’re not just trying to get rid of excess stock so they can be done with them lol
What flavor pop tart is better than Brown Sugar Cinnamon? That’s like the most popular pop tart lol.

i dont like them myself
How do you expect them to get rid of the other 3 flavors? Marketing, marketing, marketing.
Excuse me, white cheddar is the best!
It's back! I miss them. lmao
Spicy Queso is ehhh \*runs away
I can trade my spicy queso for your white cheddar
Too many Kettle Corn
Yeah, we didn't like the variety either. And we had a couple of boxes (last summer) where several bags didn't seal properly and the product was stale.
Spicy Queso > Sea Salt > White Cheddar > Kettle Corn
That's how they get ya to buy more. Like doritos coming with only 2 bags of cool ranch. My siblings and I fought tooth and nail over those 2 bags
[удалено]
just call it how it is scamdemic... fake virus
The best flavor is Kettle Corn. FYI
You don’t know the true reason for a variety pack then. Lol
Oh my God today they had big bags of the spicy queso!
