Where do you live? I'll take half of it off your hands as we also eat a lot of popcorn! I've found popcorn salt at Wegmans before but I haven't looked recently.


We're not in the DC area anymore, otherwise I would take you up on your offer. I admit I didn't check Walmart but I try to avoid the place.

And for the PP, popcorn salt is finer than table salt, so it sticks to the popcorn better and it just tastes better. Kind of like the salt they put on the fries at McDonalds.

One day I will give in and order apple cider jelly from Vermont. Still haven't managed to find it locally. (No, apple butter or apple jelly are not equivalents.)

My BIL had this thing called the Bacon Explosion delivered to his door packed in dry ice. It's a huge thing about the size of a small dog and is basically chopped sausage and cheese tied up in bacon, encased in more bacon and then wrapped in extra bacon. I'm not kidding, this is a real product that actually exists.

was going to order bee pollen. but then i read that people with allergies to pollen sometimes have reactions (Guess that should be a "duh" but I didn't think of it) so I didn't order it.

My child is gluten free and I've spent ridiculous amounts of money on GF crackers and cookies.

Fentiman's

in particular the curiousity cola, but most of their line is really good. Around here I have seen it at Wegmans, not too many other places. And I would buy it online if I could find it there.
