This will be a new go-to snack for get togethers. The popcorn is big and fluffy, and not peppered with hard kernels sometimes found in other brands. The caramel popcorn is reminiscent of Cracker Jacks, but much improved because it is light and not coated in such a way that it sticks to your teeth. The cheddar popcorn is flavored like a traditional cheddar cheese snack popcorn, yet it is not over coated and doesn’t make your fingers turn orange. The combination of the two flavors complement each other for a light, sweet treat. I also like the fact that there are no artificial colors or flavors and there are only 110 calories per cup, which provides a not-too-guilty pleasure!

The popped popcorn pieces are large and mostly intact. The popcorn has a good mouth feel, like a crunchy but not too hard. The popcorn tasted fresh. The cheese flavor was good, not great. The caramel flavor was not good, bitter, almost burnt flavor. We ate most/all of the cheese ones and threw the rest of the caramel out.

I like the salty and sweet mix this provides. I do feel like there is more of the cheese flavor that gets rubbed off on the caramel flavor. It doesn't bother me, but my kids said they would rather have it just separate. Like most pre-popped popcorn, it doesn't stay fresh for long after opening the bag so with this size of bag, I think it would be better to have if you were having it at a party or something where it will get eaten faster.

The perfect salty/sweet snack! This specialty popcorn does not disappoint as somehow the cheesy cheddar flavor is balanced by sweet caramel. No wonder it’s a renown Chicago staple. Now we can all enjoy it in this enormous bag!   Worth noting - REAL ingredients and no artificial flavors or colors.

The mix of caramel popcorn and cheddar popcorn is perfect. One is not highlighted more in the bag than the other. I really like the flavor of the cheddar...it does not have a fake cheese taste, but rather a more real cheese flavor. You get a large 20 oz. bag with purchase and is plenty for snacking and sharing.

I’ve had other brands of cheese and Carmel popcorn before and usually the cheese is too salty, the Carmel is too sweet, after a handful your stomach starts to hurt…..however with this bag, the cheese is perfectly seasoned just enough salt and it taste like cheese the Carmel has a little burnt bitter flavor that the best Carmel does….it makes it hard to stop reaching into the bag! You do have to shake the bag as all the Carmel separates and sits on the bottom, even as you are enjoying this treat you’o have to give a few shakes to the bag because it will settle as you eat, I found just pouring it into a plate or bowl was easier than the bag. Most pre-popped popcorn also gets stale the second, date and so forth no matter how well you cover it, well this stuff did not, the cheese popcorn stayed as t as the Carmel popcorn for a few days after opening. The only negative is there is a lot of hard kernels in the bag and I chipped a tooth on one while I was enjoying it, so be careful with the hard kernels especially with children, but that may also just be user error as it was so delicious I was not paying attention. Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed the cheese portion of the popcorn. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of caramel popcorn, but my family loves it. I did try it with the cheese at the same time, and it was okay. The cheese popcorn wasn't stale, and tasted fresh. The caramel popcorn could be hard at times, so please be careful, it could hurt your tooth.

I love popcorn, traditional salty popcorn, i jumped on the idea of getting cheddar popcorn! I didn't realize it has caramel popcorn mixed (talk about reading the bag) at first i was selecting cheese popcorn but a few handfuls in, just decided to try them together. It wasn't as sweet, as i initially anticipated and treated just how I (my idea) of s fully covered Cheddar cheese puff should taste like!

Garrett Mix is hands down my favorite popcorn snack. It’s the perfect balance of rich, crunchy caramel corn and bold, cheesy cheddar creates that classic “Chicago mix” that keeps you reaching back in the bag. This is absolutely yummy-licious! Each handful gives you the sweet-and-savory combo that hits every craving…salty, sweet, and absolutely addictive. What I love most is the quality! The cheddar packs a punch without being overwhelming, and the caramel is buttery, crisp, and not too sticky. Together, they’re the ultimate flavor duo. I personally love a 1:1 mix of cheddar and caramel! If you’ve never tried Garrett Mix, you’re missing out. It’s a Chicago tradition for a reason!

Overall, an excellent snack. This popcorn is overall cooked great, with a great balance of sweet and savory. The caramel corn is excellent, and the cheesy popcorn is also very good, with lots of cheese powder on it. Both my kids and my wife, and I all really enjoyed it. Overall, a great bag for a group/family snack, a good size, and a great value. Maybe not the healthiest thing, but fantastic.
