I have a bad habit of impulse buying the most random stuff, but to my credit, most of those turn out awesome. If you wanna hear about great impulse buys, that’d be a good topic for another “ask” post (which I will leave as an exercise to the reader).
Here, I want to hear about your worst impulse buys; ones that you regretted almost immediately.
Flavacol?
I have a carton half that I think is half that size that will probably outlast me. Every now and again, I refill a salt shaker with it.
If that’s what it is yeah, I don’t dislike it, but it’s definitely far from being what I’d call the most-critical component of nice popcorn.
I think that that plus coconut oil is probably authentic, but I’m not married to movie-theater popcorn, so I don’t care much about authenticity.
What I did wind up doing was getting an oil sprayer and spraying chili oil mixed with olive oil to bring down the heat, and then putting Flavacol on. Can add some other powdered seasonings to that, but just the above works pretty well for me.
It may have been? It was in a clear plastic jug with the branding/info on a sticky label on the front. It’s been forever ago, so I can’t recall. If it wasn’t Flavacol, then it was probably the Sam’s Club equivalent generic.
Whatever it was, it wasn’t anything like the mac & cheese powder I was expecting.
