    Yup, anf there is in fact pickle flavored lays potato chips.......and they are FABULOUS!! ;)
    Oooohhh! Yum I want.


    I heard hot sauce on popcorn is good so I'm trying it next time.

    Second the hot sauce. I use the Tabasco brand. It will get your attention.

    I'm not impressed with the tabasco brand.

    I prefer Cajohn's Reaper hot sauce, or my homemade. Much better flavour, much hotter.

    Sriracha Popcorn...

    I am diabetic type 2 in remission due to my delightful weight loss. I second the comment to add protein to every snack. That might be a low fat cheese cube with your popcorn, or some beef jerky with your pickles. Is there hidden sugar in your pickles?

    I get jumbo popcorn from Bulk Barn and pop it in my air popper.

    Yay because I love snacking on both of those! I am thinking about buying an air popper because it seems to be a healthier way to having popcorn.


    Eww. That's like snacking on Styrofoam. I like to pop corn on the stove using a small amount of saved bacon fat. Then sprinkle on a little salt, and some spices afterwards.

    omg. Now I have to go buy bacon, cook it, eat it all, just so i have some bacon fat to try this with...

    Don't use too much. Just enough so once it's melted it coats the bottom of a heavy-bottom pot. For my pot, one TB is plenty to make 4 "servings" of popcorn, so it's really only adding about 25-30 calories per serving to do it that way over just the kernels.

    Heat, melt the fat, toss in the kernels, lid... wait...shake a bit... when it stops popping, dump into a bowl and toss with some kosher salt and whatever seasonings you like. The bacon flavor will be subtle, but you will notice it.

    Never tried the Reaper, there is for sure a lot hotter sauces then the Tabasco. Can you send me some of your homemade stuff ? B)

    Something what sounds disgusting but is actually DELICIOUS: Take a slice of deli ham, spread some cream cheese on it and wrap it around a pickle. Mmmmmmm.

    @mkakids - have you had pickled garlic? It's amazing.

    I think they're tasty. If you can fit them in your goals, then go for it!

    I like the individual mini orville redenbachers' salt and pepper. They also have a lime and salt one thats pretty good for about 150 calories.

    So I had the popcorn with tabasco.

    I'm a fan for life.
