Colby RidgeKettle Corn Gourmet Craft Popped Gluten Free Popcorn Bulk Sized Large Gift Bash Bags (Bulk 18 Gal. 288 Cups.) (Kettle Corn)

I knew this was going to be a really large bag of popcorn, so I got it as sort of a funny gift for my husband, who really likes popcorn. I clearly didn't realize exactly how huge it truly was, though, as when it showed up (a day early!) on our front porch -- an impressive box, several feet in height -- I thought someone must have sent an early holiday gift in the form of a slightly smaller than full size, but still big enough, fully assembled, Christmas tree. Well, the "Christmas tree" was the popcorn in a giant bag, rivaling the size of what I'm guessing Santa's bag must look like as he stuffs it with gifts for the whole world. We had a big laugh, and sent photos to family members of my husband, apparently watching a movie, with the ginormous bag of popcorn making him -- at over 6 ft. -- seem small! All joking around aside though, this popcorn is truly wonderful. It is tender and crisp, with just the right amount of seasoning, and fresh! Just-popped fresh, and, thanks to the handy twist tie and the sturdy bag, it still tastes as fresh as it did the day it arrived. If you truly love popcorn, (and have the urge to graze on it like a cow in the grass) we highly recommend this delicious gourmet treat! (Maybe do a little weight lifting prior to ordering though, so you are up for hauling the behemoth box into your house.)

The popcorn is soo good! I was able to fill 65 of these boxes with some left over. Would definitely purchase again!

First bite I thought it was a bit salty, but then the sweet kicks in and it's a perfect balance. Very few hulls attached to the popcorn compared to other kettle corn brands. They use the mushroom style popcorn so it has big and fluffy kernels. It's double bagged so it stays fresh a very long time.Never gone wrong with buying Colby Ridge - can't say the same trying other brands and other types of popcorn.

Fresh and well seasoned

as plain popcorn, this stuff is seems to be of great quality with a very high percentage of kernels popped up large into an almost spherical shape - amazingly uniform. i'm not sure whether this is air-popped or popped in oil or what, but they seem to have the popping process perfected. the husks are barely noticeable, thin and crispy and contribute to the pleasant texture.the batch i got arrived in about 3 days, was well-packed and sealed and seemed fresh.as *kettle* corn, for me the flavor it is all about getting the right balance of salt vs sweet, and to my taste this leans slightly too much toward the sweet side. it could benefit from a bit more salt and a bit less sugar.price is 1/3 to 1/5 of the cheapest normally-packaged kettle corn you can find, so if you can deal with "bulk" style and can use it before it goes stale, it is a good deal. obviously you'll want to love kettle corn and/or have a big group to serve to use this much. i assume it will have decent shelf life.overall, i'd rate it very good.

This 18 gallon order is my second order since January 19.My first order was a 5 gallon bag of kettle corn that USPS lost for 11 days. Since it was a birthday gift and the party was the coming weekend, I contacted Colby Ridge on January 30 to see if they knew when I could expect delivery and they too had no idea what the post office had done with it, so they very kindly shipped me another bag of kettle corn via FedEx and I had it by Friday, February 1! And, as it always goes, the lost bag of popcorn arrived the same day. I wanted to return the new shipment, but being a food product, they couldn't receive a return. That made me feel bad, so I decided I would just make Colby Ridge a staple in my home. 🙂The kettle corn is absolutely delicious - slightly sweet and lightly salted, it's the perfect sweet/salty combo. The birthday recipient of the kettle corn loved it too. It really is very, very good!Now, this 18 gallon of cheddar cheese and salted caramel? Holy moly! What a combination. I love getting a bite of cheddar cheese followed by the salted caramel... It's heaven in a very large bag! The cheddar cheese is the perfect amount of cheese and the salted caramel is the perfect amount of sweetness and they go together like peanut butter and jelly do.I highly recommend Colby Ridge popcorn. Not only is the popcorn delicious, but the company is a great one to deal with. Two thumbs up from me! 👍👍

The package arrived on time, we eat popcorn almost every night, thought we would give the kettle corn a try ,bag looks awesome fresh , it’s not bad, but a lot had way to much salt where some was not that sweet, it’s hard to really put into words ,the popcorn just fell a little short for us. Hesitant to try a different flavor.

I have to be honest I’m not a fan of kettle corn. But I ordered this flavor because I know most people like it. Flavor was great. When I got the order, I realized it was double the amount I needed, which was great. I was able to use it for two parties. My two parties were two weeks apart, and it was still freshI will definitely be ordering more indifferent flavors.
