Garrett's is the hands-down best.  They have a Chicago mix of caramel and cheese that is the bomb dot com! 4951

No comparison at all to the standard triple flavor that you get around the holidays.  4951

@lola:
 
Garrett's is really overrated (imo) and ridiculously expensive. The Popcorn Factory has awesome, really fresh popcorn for a fraction of the price. You can also mix and match flavors.
 
thepopcornfactory.com - At checkout, enter the promo code: HERES25 and you'll get 25% off of your order! Shipping is usually around 2-3 days. Emoticon
 
Hope that helps!
 
ETA: I think their 3 1/2 gallon tins are on the upper end of the $30's. I just sent a few last week for Valentine's Day. 4951

@brightlights: 100% agree.  Was in Chicago in December and had a sample to see what was up.  Mind you I grew up near Chicago and never heard of Garrett's until I moved to Texas.  My friend and I chatted about it and think it is kind of a "touristy" thing (for lack of a better term since people we know don't eat it.  Or maybe it is too expensive?  I had a free sample but ~$30.00 for a bag worth carrying home?  No popcorn is worth that (IMO) no matter how good it is.

I think it's just a Foodie thing.  Some people are willing to pay more for really good items.  Just like some wine and cheese is very pricey, while other moderately or even bargain priced choices are fine for others.  It's a matter of taste, preference, and discretionary income...none of which can be assumed with anyone. It might not be worth it to some, but as a treat or a special gift for others.  Bottom line, Garrett's it is amazing.  One of our co-workers is from Chicago, and every time she goes there, she brings back a couple of tins to share.  She lived there most of her life, loves it and gets it every chance she gets. 4951

Love Garretts from Chicago.  My husband use to pick up a bag at the airport to take home.  Not worth the calories now.  But if you can afford the price and calories its great stuff. 4951
