Orville Redenbacher's Gourmet Naturals Popcorn, Garlic Butter and Sea Salt

This popcorn sounded so appealing! You know I love popcorn. I also like garlic. Plus, I really dig the bag that turns into a bowl. Unfortunately, the flavor is a solid Meh. The taste is garlic-ish, but doesn't seem authentic.

I've made garlic popcorn before - air popped corn, butter, garlic, salt.  It is really good.

The ingredients in the Orville Redenbacher's popcorn are - popping corn, palm oil, sea salt, "natural flavor" (including milk) and mixed tocopherols.

The word Garlic doesn't appear, specifically. This seems suspicious. If they used garlic, why not say so? It doesn't taste like real garlic was used. It isn't gross or anything, but it certainly isn't proper garlic popcorn.

Eating this left me with a mouthful of regret that can't be washed away by Pinot Grigio.
I still like the bag-bowl.
