Popcorn and I have a weird relationship. Oddly enough it is the one smell I truly cannot stand. Microwave popcorn and movie theater popcorn has been known to make me queasy even. So why would I wish to review popcorn? I’m a very curious creature and while I may not like something at this time, I do try that item now and again out of curiosity. Our tastes change and when that change will occur remains unknown to us.
Oogie’s™ Snacks presented me an excellent opportunity to try popcorn again. I did enlist the taste-bud assistance of my Great Aunt Alice though, in the event I didn’t care for their popcorn. I knew she was the perfect person to have this popcorn party with as she is about the only person I know who could happily eat popcorn for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. In short, my Great Aunt Alice is a popcorn connoisseur.
Aunt Alice and I got some bowls out, some towels for wiping our fingers and a bit of water for cleansing our palates between flavors. Oogie’s™ had presented us with quite a tasting experience opportunity.
Oogie’s™ calls their popcorn gourmet. They also kettle pop in small batches, this ensures the freshest of popcorn. Each bag of Oogie’s™ is an individual batch. Oogie’s™ uses non-GMO corn that is then popped in 100% corn oil. This makes Oogie’s™ a delicious treat with no cholesterol, no trans-fat, and completely gluten-free! They are Kosher too.
The first three we decided to try were the Hotch Chili Con Queso, the Smoked Gouda, and the Cracked Pepper & Asiago.
Hotch Chili Con Queso –
This popcorn definitely has a little kick to it. What’s great about it though is that while you taste the Hotch chili and get the heat from it, it isn’t so hot that you can’t truly enjoy this popcorn. I started cautiously with a few kernels and soon found myself grabbing a little more and a little more. Yes, I was enjoying this popcorn; me, the non-popcorn eater.
Smoked Gouda-
This variety is definitely savory popcorn. The smoked flavor comes through without being overpowering. The Gouda taste is right on point as well. Living in Wisconsin I eat my fair share of cheese and Gouda is one of my favorites, Oogie’s™ has nailed the smoked Gouda taste here. This popcorn is delicious.
Cracked Pepper & Asiago-
This combination of flavors is very good. You get the bite of the Asiago with the taste of fresh cracked pepper. This blend is great and from what I tasted, the amount of pepper is just enough. It didn’t outdo the Asiago.
The next three flavors we tried were Spicy Chipotle & Lime, White Cheddar, and Sun-Dried Tomato & Parmesan.
Spicy Chipotle & Lime-
This blend of Oogie’s™ popcorn is another great one for those who like a snack with a little heat. The chipotle taste was excellent and had the right amount of smokiness to it. The lime here was a bit more subtle than I would have liked. It was there, but I would have preferred a little more. That is just my taste though. Overall the Spicy Chipotle & Lime also goes on the winner’s list.
White Cheddar-
Wow, yet another cheese popcorn! Oogie’s™ is trying hard to convert me into a popcorn lover and I think it’s safe to say they are winning. Their White Cheddar is amazing. You get a nice strong cheese flavor with a great tang from it being cheddar.
Sun-Dried Tomato & Parmesan-
If savory is what you’re looking for in a snack, this is the flavor for you. Here Oogie’s™ has delicately combined sun-dried tomatoes and parmesan to create a beautiful blend of flavors that together create a rich experience for your taste-buds. Each taste alone as popcorn, I don’t think these flavors would work, but together they are remarkable.
Last, but certainly not least, we got to the Movie Lovers Buttered Popcorn and the Kettle Corn.
Due to my buttery popcorn aversion, Aunt Alice alone tried the Movie Lover’s and here’s what she thought:
Movie Lovers-
This popcorn is very buttery; however, even as buttery as it is, it isn’t tough. Also, it doesn’t just dissolve in your mouth as other “movie lover” or buttery popcorns have been known to do. Oogie’s™ Movie Lovers has a nice crunch to it.
Aunt Alice really likes this type of popcorn and she thoroughly enjoyed Oogie’s Movie Lovers. She added it was one of the best buttery popcorns ever.
Kettle Corn-
OMGoodness!!! Oogie’s™ Kettle Corn is unbelievable. If I hadn’t decided before that I’d snack on popcorn now and again, of course only Oogie’s™ Gourmet Popcorn, their Kettle Corn was surely going to convince me.
Yum, yum, and yum! This popcorn is sweet without being sickly sweet. The sweetness is absolutely the right amount. I was positive when I flipped the bag over to check the ingredients that I’d find corn syrup amongst the ingredients. It wasn’t there. They use Evaporated Can Sugar to make their Kettle Corn.
For being sweet, this popcorn was still relatively low in calories and carbs. To me, it was a healthy sweet snack. Yippee! Also, this Kettle Corn was beyond fresh as again, Oogie’s™ makes their popcorn in individual batches. Each bag is a batch.
Regarding ingredients, I could pronounce each ingredient used to make their popcorn too. Aunt Alice and I really enjoyed our popcorn party. While I may still not crave popcorn as some people do, I can safely say that I will be buying some Oogie’s™ Kettle Corn and other flavors soon. This stuff is too good to not have again.

This popcorn looks very tasty. Thanks for the interesting and informative review!
I tend to be adventurous, I like to try new things at least once.
I have to stick with the traditional flavors. It is nice that they offer the others. I’m just not very adventurous.
I read in the earlier comments someone wrote that “some of the flavors sound yuck.” Which ones? They all sound delicious to me!
I have a sweet tooth. I can personally forget to eat for a couple days in a row but give me a sweet snack and forget it!
This brand is new to me, but these new flavors sound delicious, I’d like to try them all!
Gouda sounds good. I like to have a tasty snack that isn’t too filling or full of fat.
Kettle corn sounds good. I’m curious about some of the not as common flavors. I guess I just need to try them.
I love popcorn and think the Smoked Gouda sounds delicious!
I love popcorn and some of the flavors sound so delicious! I have never tried this brand before but will be looking for it!
I think there is a type for ewach member of my family. I love all these flavors.
We are a big popcorn eaters here in my house. Movie time +popcorn. Or anytime just for a snack we will make some . I like the cheese or other flavors a lot too. Cant wait to try some of these new flavors
This popcorn has lots of great new flavors that I cant wait to try . Who doesnt love popcorn – we sure do at our house . Great for snacking time.
Really want to try these unusual flavors of popcorn.
It would be fun to have a popcorn tasting party with the small group that meets at my house on friday evenings. Would love to win this!
Cheryl, that sounds like a plan. I bet you all would have a lot of fun too. Please let us know how it goes.
Wow such great and different flavors from other popcorns . I would like to try the cracked peppercorn and Asiago or the smoked gouda one they sound so good cant wait to try them
I love popcorn and these gourmet flaors all sund delicious. I want to try them soon.
We love popcorn here at my house and so does my grandson. Kettle corn and cheese popcorn are to of the favorites tho we havent ever eaten any we didnt like LOL
Ann, Oogie’s Kettle Corn is the bomb! I highly recommend getting some. If that is a favorite amongst the family…wow! You are are in for a treat! Please let us know what you think if it.
I’m noticing gouda is a popular flavor recently. Just bought some soup with a coupon with the flavor of gouda, and now popcorn! I know it’s cheese, but have never tasted it before.
Gouda is a great cheese Cheryl. Then again, since I live in WI I tend to think all cheese is great. 😉 Gouda is a Dutch cheese. Across the board it has a mild taste, but some dairies will add flavors to their Goudas, such as dill, certain peppers, or we have one around here (an award-winning one and rightly so) that has added a seed from their native Holland. OMGosh! That Gouda is to die for. The cheese itself is still mild, but you get flavor added from the seeds or herbs the dairies add in. Yum, yum, and yummer! Enjoy :).
Really want to try this popcorn!
Love that there is no trans fat in this popcorn. All the flavors sound so good!
Cheryl, Oogie’s is just yummy! Out of the eight flavors, with the exception of the Movie Lover’s (that’s just a personal dislike), but my Aunt Alice loved it, all of them were simply scrumptious. I highly recommend Oogie’s to anyone who likes popcorn and even to those, like me, who don’t. They’ve changed my opinions on popcorn and now when I’m in the mood for some, it’s Oogie’s that I’ll have. Enjoy!!!
Not sure I would eat all of the flavors, but the white cheddar sounds yummy. Thanks for sharing.
Some of those flavors sound um, yuck! Others sound delicious! I guess to each his own.
these all sound so good, especially white cheddar. would be great to take along on a camping trip to munch around the campfire!
Ooh Cheryl…having this while camping does sound great. Thanks for sharing the idea. The White Cheddar is delicious. Oogie’s cheese flavors are excellent and I know cheese. I live in Wisconsin. 😉
This popcorn looks so good hope I get to try it 🙂
I LOVE popcorn! I have not had this brand before, but I am certainly open to trying it. Based on your review, it sounds pretty darn good! Thank you for the chance to win some!
I so love these popcorns they are really tasty had bought them a few days back and greta quality
Love all the different flavors! Smoked Gouda sounds good to me!
all the flavors sound so good, my husband loves popcorn
heheheeh i never knew they made those kinds of flavors of popcorn. would love to try them.
I like popcorn. Especially caramel and kettle corn. These flavors are new to me. I’d like to try them.
Lisa, Oogie’s is so yummy. As I noted I’m not typically one for popcorn, but they have changed me. I will gladly buy Oogie’s when I want a light, yet crunchy treat. The flavors are amazing. Simply scrumptious!
I know what you mean about the smel of popcorn, although for me, it is just the smell of it in the theatre! These sound like they would smell delicious!
Cheryl, sadly for me it’s the smell of popcorn in general. Walking into Target for example I’m taking a chance as their little food counter at the front serves popcorn. I pray every time I go that they haven’t just popped some and that they don’t pop any while I’m there. I know…goofy. Oogie’s though was different. The flavors were great tasting and smelled great too. However, as I noted in the review, when I did get to the Movie Lover’s one, I did have to pass on that one. Aunt Alice was more than happy to take over the reigns especially as Movie Lover’s is one of her favorites. In the end, I say regardless of any aversions, unless it’s a true allergy, definitely give Oogie’s a try!
i usually want butter only on my popcorn, but would taste
As far as I’m concerned popcorn should be it’s own food group. I checked out the website after reading your review, and it looks like the only vegan option is Spicy Chipotle & Lime and I’m not a fan of spicy food. Hopefully they’ll add more vegan options in the future.
Char thanks for your comments. Having tried several of Oogie’s varieties, I can definitely say they are yummy. The Spicy Chipotle & Lime was also one of those flavors that I tried. Yes, there is a little kick to it, but I wouldn’t go so far as to call it spicy. My best suggestion of course would be to give a try. You won’t really know if you like it or not unless you do. As far as them offering more vegan options, I’d also suggest that you make that suggestion to them. In my communications with Oogie’s, I felt very connected with them and any and all questions I had were quickly addressed. I also felt they were open to new ideas too.
i can’t eat popcorn, but the rest of the family can and they looove flavored popcorn. i will try this brand and i actually enjoy the smell of popcorn. i’m sad that i can’t eat it anymore, i have diverticulitis.
What an assortment of flavors. There’s pretty much something to please everyone! Gouda and kettle corn sound especially good to me.
We too are po corn lovers!! These look great. I would really like to try the Sun dried tomato & Parmesan…YUMMY!!
Becky: Oh, that sounds good right about now. Thanks for the suggestion.
Goodness, what a variety! My husband is a popcorn lover as well and I may have to look into some popcorn for his birthday. Thanks for the review!

i enjoy most pop corn but got a kick out of the ones you liked
Mmmmm… the sundried tomato and parmesan flavor sounds good! I’ll have to look for this brand – thanks!
;m also not a huge fan of the smell of popcorn, but I do love eating it. At my local theatre they sell a raspberry corn. It’s the bomb!
