Friday Quick Bites - Garrett Popcorn Indulgence!

Once upon a time...I tried Poppycock candied popcorn and it was love at first bite for me.  Last checked at Amazon.com, a 30 oz tin is retailing at USD20!  Yes, there is a price to pay in the quest of finding true love! hahaha....

Unchanged For 60 Years

Well, one can find Poppycock at some of the supermarkets here but now that Garrett has arrived on our shores (KLCC), nothing beats fresh candied popcorn indulgence! 

Garrett - Caramel Macadamia Popcorn

However, only two things can stop the frequency of such indulgence ...
1) The awareness of one's risk of turning into a diabetic
2) The awareness of a hole being burned in your pocket


Hahaha...these two factors will definitely keep me in check with such indulgence when such temptations are easily available now (it'll be available soon at 1 Utama soon! Have mercy!).  With our high cost of living, prices are inflated ... seriously, having spent time in San Francisco, prices of food in Malaysia are so much higher than over in USA. Dollar for a dollar ... our monthly salary only goes a short distance! So, yes, Garrett is selling a small pack of the Caramel Macadamia Popcorn at RM19 while good ol' plain butter popcorn goes for RM9/pack.  There are other varieties which I haven't tried yet...

What a big cluster!

If this big cluster of sweet fragrant caramel laden with almost perfect round kernels and macadamia nuts doesn't choke and kill you, you will live to experience the pure joy of a sugar rush! Note : Only applies to those with a sweet tooth.  

Hee hee...of course we shouldn't attempt to take it all in one bite.  The bag is made up of big and small clusters but I took a pic of the biggest cluster that I found.  However, such sweet happiness is shortlived as a bag of this is usually gone in a blink (or two or three) of an eye.

So, such sweet happiness though short lived can be bought with RM19 ... but you know what I mean, true happiness is something else altogether.

Have a great weekend everyone!
