Sue Me, I'm Obsessed With Popcorn
Happy Wednesday!
Today I just wanted to do a fun silly post and share something that y'all probably don't know about me. Popcorn. I am completely obsessed!
As I'm sitting here writing this post, and munching on some popcorn, I started thinking about why I love it so much. Here's what I came up with.
No. 1: Options, Options, Options
I love that people are so creative and come up with tons of variations for such a simple snack! I've tried everything from Chocolate Potato Chip Popcorn to Muddy Buddy Popcorn. Some have been total fails, but most are pretty freakin' delicious. Some of my favorites right now are Cinnamon & Sugar, Pumpkin Spice and Sea Salt Caramel.
No. 2: It's Fresh & Easy!
This is where it gets real and I go a little diva on you. So most people are completely happy with microwave popcorn. Not this girl. Shawn and I got a stove top popper right before we got married and have been using it ever since. Honestly, we probably need to retire it and get a new one. But once you go fresh, you can never go back. Eating microwave popcorn now is like biting into a powdery piece of stale cardboard. Ok, maybe that's an exaggeration, but you really need to try fresh popcorn. It's easy and it'll change your life. Here's one that's similar to what we have.

No. 3: It Makes Movies Even Better
Have you ever noticed that even the crappiest of movies are a little less crappy when you have popcorn? No, just me? Ok. But I seriously can't watch movies without popcorn. It feels wrong to even try. When we go to the theater, you better believe I'll be munching all movie long. When Shawn and I are cuddled up on the couch watching something, there's a 99% chance that a bowl of popcorn is sitting between us. Really though, popcorn and movies go together like tacos and Tuesdays.

No. 4: Brings People Together
Perhaps one of my favorite things about popcorn is its a common denominator. I mean, who doesn't love popcorn?It's always my go to snack for get togethers. Bachelor parties, game nights, Super Bowl, you name it. It's something pretty much everyone loves and can't get enough of...especially if there are tons of flavors to choose from. My family recipe for Peanut Butter Popcorn is always a big hit.
