I live in Chicago and finally gave in and tried the famous Garrett Popcorn mix, and I have to say that it actually lives up to the reputation! The popcorn is fresh, the coating is generous without being overpowering, and it doesn't taste artificial like some other brands. It’s a great treat for movie nights, parties, or just indulging yourself. It is a bit pricey but definitely worth it!

As a long-time fan of gourmet popcorn, I was thrilled to try the iconic Garrett Mix from Garrett Popcorn Shops in the generous 20 oz size. This Chicago-based company has been crafting delicious popcorn since 1949, and their signature mix does not disappoint. Flavor Profile: The Garrett Mix is a heavenly combination of their Caramel Crisp and Cheese Corn varieties. The contrast between the sweet, crunchy caramel corn and the savory, cheese-coated kernels creates an addictive flavor explosion in every handful. The balance is perfect, with neither flavor overpowering the other. Texture: Both types of popcorn in this mix maintain their distinct textures. The caramel corn is satisfyingly crunchy with a glossy coating, while the cheese corn has a slightly softer bite with a dusting of real cheddar cheese. The kernels are consistently well-popped, with very few unpopped seeds at the bottom of the bag. Freshness: Even though this was a packaged product and not fresh from their shops, the popcorn maintained an impressive level of freshness. The 20 oz bag is resealable, which helps to keep the contents crisp and delicious for several days after opening (if it lasts that long!). Packaging: The 20 oz size is perfect for sharing or for solo snacking over a few days. The iconic striped bag is attractive and functional, with clear nutritional information and ingredients list. Value: While premium-priced compared to regular store-bought popcorn, the quality and unique flavor combination justify the cost for a special treat or gift. Cons: The calorie content is quite high, so it's not an everyday snack for the health-conscious. Some may find the cheese flavor a bit strong or artificial-tasting. Overall, Garrett Popcorn Shops' Garrett Mix is a delightful indulgence that lives up to its reputation. Whether you're a Chicago native missing a taste of home or a popcorn enthusiast looking to try something special, this 20 oz bag of sweet and savory goodness is sure to satisfy your cravings.

Yummy. The bag was really full which was surprising since usually chips and stuff are half empty. Definitely give it a good shake before opening because the caramel ones settle. They were nice and crisp and not stale at all. It’s a sweet and savory snack my whole family enjoyed.

This is better than homemade popcorn. The combination of flavors in amazing. I tried this on a whim and I am so glad I did! I was amazingly surprised with how many calories it has compared to how good the flavor is. This are definitely a most have snack in our household from now on. The bag did not last at all.

This popcorn was fresh and the flavors themselves are good, but I am definitely not a fan of having the cheddar and caramel mixed together. I honestly didn’t even realize that was a thing, but I thought it might be something new and interesting to try. It turns out the combo just isn’t for me. I think it’s a solid product when the flavors are sold separately, but not in this particular mix.

So excited that I tried these. I was a little apprehensive to try these because of cheese and caramel mix, but I was not disappointed. If you love cheese and caramel popcorn, this is the perfect blend. It has a fresh taste and the right amount of caramel. This is my new favorite mix!

I really enjoy sweet and salty popcorn together. I have tried many different variations and this one definitely did not disappoint. The caramel popcorn was not overly sticky and had a deeper flavor. My husband felt like it tasted almost burnt, but I really enjoyed it, and did not feel that it tasted burnt at all. The cheese, flavored popcorn was also really good. It stayed fresh and was delicious from start to finish.

Make sure you follow the directions on the front of the bag to shake the bag to mix it up before eating. The cheddar and caramel flavours mix nicely to give a a cheesy and sweet contrast. Garrett's does a nice job screening their popcorn because I didn't find one unpopped kernel in the bag. You'll want to make sure you put this into a bowl when you eat it or you're going to go through the entire bag at once. One note, cut the bag open. It doesn't want to open easily by hand and will rip.

Great combination of flavors. The cheese and Caramel gave it a sweet and salty vibe but also a childhood twist of carmel candy with cheetos. The kernels where proportioned to equally eat and enjoy the taste together. I would shake my next bag so that the cheese won't be at the top so much. But overall a good product, you will need a wet wipe or damp paper towels because it is a sticky, cheesy situationsl.

This is such a fresh take on popcorn! It has a mix of cheddar and caramel popcorn! Which at first I thought was odd since I am used to popcorn always being divided into sections hahaha but I must say they compliment each other perfectly! No overbearing flavor, both flavors are just right and delicious!
