Advantages: Toffee

Disadvantages: Popcorn, No phone number, Sticks to teeth!!

Introduction

Now, I know everyone loves popcorn, but not me!! I hate popcorn!! It sticks to your teeth and everything!! These are toffee flavoured, and I normally like toffee, but popcorn is just yuck!!

But the problem is: We get these every week, because my dad loves them so much!! Every time he has them he takes two packs at a time, and decides the best ones and eats them last!!

On the packet it says: Have you been butterkist yet? Well my answer is NO and quite frankly, I don?t want to be butterkist by that popcorn!!

* * * * *

What it is

For those of you who don?t know, well, you have probably guessed, but anyway - This is popcorn, ?Butterkist popcorn? apparently!! But there are great for cinemas, even if you don?t like them, because you don?t have to eat them, you can throw them at people in front of you!! (Not that I do that of course, my friends do though, I just laugh)!!

* * * * *

Taste

Well, as I have said these are horrible, and they feel all sticky!! And I have also said that they are toffee flavoured, so obviously: They taste like toffee!! They are actually 70 percent toffee!! So that means 30 percent actual popcorn!! That?s just stupid, they aren?t toffees they?re popcorn!!

Oh!! And did I mention that they are horrible?!

* * * * *

Packet

Well, we get really big packets, that have six individual packets inside that. The main colour for the each packet is red, and all the writing is in white or yellow.

On the front of the individual packets it says Butterkist Toffee (that?s it). On the back it has all the usual information: Ingredients, nutritional information and contacts (more about that later). As I said above it asks if you have been b
utterkist yet, that is also on the back.

Nutritional

Per 100g

ENERGY 1659kj/ 393kcal

PROTEIN 2.9g

The popcorn should also be stored in a cool, dry place, and the packet is recyclable.

Contacts

If you want to write, and send the whole package then this is the address:

The Kernel at Butterkist
Trebor Basset Ltd.
FREEPOST MID 20061
Birmingham B30 2QZ
UK

If you wish to visit their website, then this is the address in which you go to:

www.butterkist.co.uk

Or if you want to phone, then you can?t, quite simply because they haven?t put one on the packet!! Surprise, Surprise, well actually I?m not!!

Conclusion

Well, you already know that I don?t like them, so the taste is a big down fall!! And the fact that there is no phone number on the packet is another big problem!!

But I can see why some people would like it, it?s toffee, I like toffee, I just don?t like popcorn!! And they have got an address and a website address stated on the packet.

But overall I would have to say horrible!! Stay away from them!! If you don?t like toffee then these are definitely not for you!! And if you don?t like popcorn then these are not for either!! Well, I hope I helped!!

i love butterkist popcorn!! it is definitly my favourite type beacsue it is soo toffyey!! ive also tried the microwavble one at a friends house (as i don't have a microwave) and after a few attempts which got burnt it was also very nice - especially after we tipped most of a tine of golden syrup over the top! The newest type i tried was also veyr low in fat so i was pleased to see it was both tasty and not too bad for me:) good review with all the information on - even if i disagree with some of it!!

I've got to disagree with you I'm afraid - I really like Butterkist. Haven't had it for years though!
