/Random\ Act II Caramel Popcorn

I love caramel popcorn, I use to eat it for meal instead of for a snack. My love affair started in my teens, where I stumbled upon it at Pic-N-Save (remember that store?) and decided to give it a try. It was made by Orville Redenbacher's and originally came in a white box with blue letters.

It was the best thing ever! I use to buy two, three boxes at a time. My mom hated it, cause it stunk up the kitchen whenever I made it. It smelled like something was burning, which it kinda was. I would grab a big glass of milk to go with it and be in hog heaven.

But our love was put on halt after Pic stopped carrying it. But it was rekindle when I discovered it at Premier some months later. We broke up again and it was years before I even thought about caramel popcorn. I recently discovered it at Walmart a few years ago and it was back on. But this time it was with Act II instead of Orville. I was hesitant at first cause I didn't think it would be the same, but it was just as good!

Anyway, I started noticing that Walmart was carrying it anymore and started looking for it at other grocery stores. They didn't have it either. I got tired of looking so I contacted the Act II company to ask what stores carried it. I even ask if I could buy it straight from them. They informed me that they were not manufacturing/selling caramel popcorn anymore because of low sales! WHAT!! How is that possible!! Then the sent me a coupon for one of the other types of popcorn, as if I want any of that!!

Of course now, I will have to make my own caramel popcorn, which I don't want to do. And no regular caramel popcorn will not suffice!
