Hey, It's Popcorn Lover's Day! 🍿 How About a Round-Up of the 11 Best Flavours of *All Time*?
Random historical fact: Archaeologists discovered that we’ve been popping corn for thousands of years — over 10,000 in fact. Evidence from Peru suggests that corn was popped as early as 4,700 BC. And thank God for it, because when it comes to premium snacks, as far as I’m concerned, popcorn is right up with there in the Top 5 (@ me if you like, but come with facts).
So, what better day than Popcorn Lover’s Day (celebrated annually on 10th March in the UK and other countries) to rank the best flavours ever? Let’s get into it!
#11: Chilli powder AND dark chocolate
If you’re into sweet with a little heat, this flavour is kind of a winner, to be honest. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but when it works, it really does!

#10: Birthday cake batter
You might not be so keen on all the sticky sweetness (with sprinkles everywhere) in your ice cream, but on popcorn, it’s sort of a different ball game. Not a lot to be mad at, IMO!

#9: White chocolate AND lavender
When the no. 2 best kind of chocolate and the scent of your favourite candle come together, it’s pure magic ✨ Don’t knock this one till you try it!

#8: peanut butter
Being the magic elixir it is, peanut butter elevates anything it touches, so naturally, this made the list!

#5: SALTED CARAMEL
Can we give it up for the flavour of the decade? 👏🏾 You can never have too much salted caramel (on second thought actually…), especially where popcorn is concerned.

#4: Chocolate
Sometimes, simpler is better. A thick coat of milk chocolate sauce on your popcorn is the stuff dreamsss are made of.

#3: Cinnamon SUGAR
When has cinnamon ever failed us? From hot chocolate and pancakes, to lattes and popcorn, this is where flavour lives!
