text: Growing up in Chicago, where I was introduced to gourmet popcorn at an early age, I always searched for a place that could come close in comparison. Popcorn girl is just that. I first got word of this place after getting a mini bag as a gift from my boss. I immediately paid a visit to the store and was surprised by the variety they had to offer--Original, cheese, caramel, candy, nuts, and chocolate. \n\nThe menu of popcorn selections make it very easy to order. They arrange all six types and include all flavors underneath each type. The lowest price type being those in the original heading and the highest being those under the chocolate heading. The price also varies according to the bag size, box, or tin as they also offer gift giving options. I personally like to get a variety of mini bags as it is always fun to have a variety to choose from, give some to friends, or SNEAK INTO THE MOVIE THEATER TO REBEL AGAINST THE HIGH PRICE OF MOVIE THEATER POPCORN. ;)\n\nIf you haven't had gourmet popcorn before, it is good to note that the caramel and candy flavors tend to be on the sweeter side, but have an almost crunchy consistency that I personally love. The others tend to be bit more chewy. I am unsure if that is just a different way they prepare it as I have tried other gourmet popcorn companies (i.e. Popcornopolis, Garrett, etc) that were not so chewy, but you can even see the difference in the popped kernels. \n\nOne thing I love about Popcorn Girl is that you are able to sample any flavor they have, but beware... This often gets me to buy more than I intended! ;)
