JFG Nation, this weekend’s March Madness games were crazy. The Wisconsin leaping 3-pointer to send it into overtime. The Florida sprinting trey to win it in OT. Oregon’s and South Carolina’s “Cinderella” runs. The last second UNC game winner. I have a horrible memory and give into recency effect WAY too much, but THESE GAMES WERE SOME OF THE BEST I HAVE EVER WATCHED. So much gasping. It’s not healthy.

Checking in on the JFG March Madness Pool, Melanie and “Cadbury Creme Eggs FTW” are in the lead! I think she’s the only team left that had two of the Final Four correct. I would chide you for having Villanova in your Final Four, but I had them winning it all so what the heck do I know?

Did any of you watch the games this weekend? If so, when, how, and what did you think? Let me know in the comments below.

Today’s junk food: Cinema Style PopCorners!!

To celebrate March Madness, PopCorners sent me a care package to discuss their current social media contest dubbed #MARCHSNACKNESS:

This gist is simple: take a picture of yourself and some PopCorners someplace interesting, share it on social media, tag it as follows:

#MarchSnackness, @popcorners, or @OLRebellion; OR on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/ourlittlerebellion

…and you could win some free PopCorners! Easy peasy.

 

 

Inside of my own care package was one of every flavor PopCorners makes:

I went with the Cinema Style for this review for a few reasons. First, their regular salt flavor I’ve had a million times. Same with the Kettle. I’ve eaten both cheese flavors before, and they are amazing – but that’s really not a surprise. So it came down to reviewing Sweet Chili Heat vs. Cinema Style, and I didn’t feel like spice so I went Cinema Style.

DO THESE TASTE GOOD? OMG YES.

WHY OR WHY NOT? Classic PopCorners texture and crunch – these Popcorn Chips are light, crispy, and full of corn/popcorn flavor. I wanted to see just how “Movie Theater Butter” bold these would get, and I was not disappointed. BOLD buttery flavor; the butter flavor was creamy, milky, and had a nice salt to it. These weren’t over salted; there was enough salt just to make the butter and corn flavor sing. Sing loudly. These hit a perfect savory note.

ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW? Best of all, I got all of the movie theater butter flavor WITHOUT that weird greasy oily feeling in my mouth. That weird coating on the roof of my mouth that I usually get when I eat actual movie theater popcorn? Non-existent here. Nice work, PopCorners.

PURCHASED AT: I mean, you can find these ANYWHERE.

WHERE FOUND IN STORE? LITERALLY ANYWHERE CHIPS ARE SOLD.

COST? Bags usually run $2-$3.

Sincerely,

The JFG
