Small packs of ranch are hard to find.. usually can only get it in large packs. Corn chips, in general, aren't very popular in the UK. Most people prefer potato "crisps". Also, popcorn tends to be sweet in the UK. You get sweet, sugar, toffee flavour popcorn. Butter and salt flavours are available.. but it's not like the US (hell... Disney World only sells salt popcorn... a testiment to the flavour's popularity there). Another reason why I'm moving to the US. I'm a huge corn chip and BBQ fan. :P And, yeah, you guys seem to put cinnamon in everything. |
Popcorn in the US is certainly not sweet in terms of what we prefer. We have tons of it available, but most prefer heavy butter flavors. This is evidenced by the fact I have yet to see anything other than butter popcorn at a movie theater. However, most do offer cheese as a free topping, but is rarely used.
The best thing we have in terms of popcorn (IMO) in America are these massive, 3 gallon (thats 12 litres for the rest of you) tins that have 3 gallons of each type of popular popcorn - caramel, butter, and cheese. They are usually available around Christmas, and decorated in various holiday themes. They cost about $7.00 USD, and once you get done eating the popcorn, the tin works great for a storage unit.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
