Diva Popcorn Sweet & Salt Flavour

by Rodzilla on June 11, 2012 · 10 comments


True divas would not eat this shit. How do I know? (Gurl U betta no I no) Well, for starters I found this bag of Diva Popcorn, a new healthy product range from the UK, in a bargain bin…so not diva.

23g

No photos? A real-ass diva plays by his own rules

Next, true divas are all about things like spice and flava.  Notice the 2.7g of sugar and .2g of sodium? I would have guessed about half of that from tasting. I expected sweet & salty to be something like kettle corn, these were much closer to packaging peanuts.

Boring

Finally, these look almost as boring as they taste. At least give me some edible glitter. My diva-ass had to liven these up with rare Hawaiian sea salt, and a sprinkling of gold flake (not shown).

Grade: D-

They didn’t taste bad, they just didn’t taste like anything.
…and since when did the British start caring about their teeth?

Haha quote of the day in that last sentence. I work with a British girl so I’ll have to rag on her about that tomorrow.

They had the best cereal when I was in England… Bedrock Boulders. Did you ever read Calvin and Hobbes? It how I imagined Frosted Covered Sugar Bombs would taste if real…

Mmmm sukker smag.

Why does the back say “no photos”, though?! Is that part of the diva theme? Because that’s a decidedly un-diva “post no bills” font.

The “diva” on the front looks particularly scary….i cant see anyone rushing to buy these!

Don’t eat unpopped kernels, huh? Aw, and here I thought we had sort of cornered the market on stupid food-packaging disclaimers.

5 James

I do think the packaging is unique… I guess that’s why it’s a D- instead of F?

Chuck – I didn’t read Calvin and Hobbes often – though my first whippet was named Hobbes Leviathan Gibbs. Were those a flinstones cereal? They sound pretty amazing.

Katie – Yeah, I think that’s a diva theme..and a stupid one. True divas love all press.

Nat – I thought I should mention that I’m sure you have very nice teeth.

Carly – agreed, I think they may have topped “caution: coffee is hot”

James – F’s are usually reserved for when something is harmful or offensive, like marmite straight from the jar, sugar-free peeps, and Guy Fieri

YOU GO GIRLFRIEND!!!!! Yeah um, How in the F’k are they going for salty when they have only .2 grams of sodium?! A can of green beans has more sodium!

Oh, and Guy Fieri doesn’t deserve an F… he deserves to be beaten repeatedly with a tube sock filled with nickles…

Just found your blog… this popcorn looks great! Can’t wait to browse around! :)

Pav – sock of oranges man, no bruises or signs of abuse.

Christa – you know how I know you didn’t read? Of course if you respond to this I’ll take it back. :D I’ve now found yours as well and will be doing the same :)

So here you are reviewing one of my fav snacks and sometimes entrees. Throw in some Milk Duds and you might have something. Odd artwork. I’m thinking a mad Bette Midler with a snub nose .38.
