Shirley’s Gourmet Popcorn Company

Love it! Love it, love it. Plenty of variety, refillable tins, great gift item, fun events throughout the year, and excellent, excellent popcorn. Crazy flavor choices, so everyone should be able to find something they like. The only way you leave here is HAPPY. Yum!

I am SHOCKED & DISGUSTED by the ingredients in their popcorn. There is a great reason they do not put the ingredients on the label (which I am unsure how that is legal?). People would NOT intentionally buy this GARBAGE! I had to search online for a list of ingredients for the popcorn flavors they choose to disclose. The list of ingredients is completely missing from their website for some of their candied popcorn, so who knows what is hiding in those? If the company practiced FULL DISCLOSURE & put the ingredient list on their products, people would not buy this garbage. The popcorn may be the only actual food ingredient in this chemical laden candied food. It is full of crap chemical ingredients and dyes. Including substances that are carcinogens. The ingredient list is worse than Fruit Loops! Ingredients such as hydrogenated oils, MSG, GMO Canola Oil, artificial flavors, ‘natural’ flavors derived from unknown sources, FD&C yellow 5&6, FD&C red 3&40, & the ingredient list goes on & on & on. I received a bag of this as a Christmas gift. It is one of the flavors with no ingredient list available online (and of course not on the bag). After seeing the ingredient lists online, the bag is in the trash.
Shirley’s popcorn is doing a disservice to the Shirley they reference as the poisonous popcorn company being named after. Why can’t they make candied popcorn with ingredients that you have in your cupboard or could purchase at the grocery? Why can’t they use real caramel instead of artificial caramel flavor?
Ironically a bag of carmel corn from stores such as Sam’s Club & even Aldi may be sugar laden, but it is real sugar, real caramel-​NO food dyes, NO MSG, NO GMO’s, or an extensive list of chemicals.

Bought a can of this for my mother-​in-​law for Mother’s Day. Had it shipped to FL, made it just in time. She can’t put it down. Said it’s the best she’s ever had. It does tend to bepricey but it’s so good. The fact that the home store is not far at all either makes it double nice.

Pricey but really good popcorn. They do a very professional job and the small space they have attached to the theatre inside. They’d also have some really unique flavors. I tried the Black Forest popcorn, think German chocolate cake with cherry flavor (I may have the name incorrect) with lots of chocolate. It was fresh and scrumptious!
Also tried something cheddary and hot and it looked neon orange in color. It had a kick to it, maybe it was called after After Burner. Good but have a drink on the ready. They have lots more flavors and I think they rotate special flavors. All in all a pretty good place for a small town like Blufton.
