Now available in Massachusetts, infused popcorn from Baking Impossible winners fills a void—deliciously
Here are some concepts for somewhat unique THC-infused products that I have yet to see on the market in Massachusetts but would love to dig into: tuna, bread crumbs, yogurt, American cheese singles, peanut butter, and gum.
I can’t stress that last one enough—where the hell is all the gum?
And up until discovering Space Poppers a few weeks ago, popcorn was also at the top of that list. Not only is it a treat that people have been dosing and selling or giving away at parties and concerts for decades—an obvious choice in the pre-dispensary days when a lot of home cooks still decarbed their flower in butter—but it’s also simply perfect for a night of Netflix. And so we dug into the three selections from this company with great expectations …
We weren’t disappointed. Not at all, as each of the Space Poppers are not only distinct in their own way, but also quite expertly cooked. One of us hates pre-made popcorn in a bag so much that they initially refused to sample these, but after some light urging they relented, and were happy that they did. To quote: “Every one of these is better than most uninfused products I have had with the same exact flavor profiles.”
That was our unanimous finding. The Sea Salt Caramel has an ideal sweet and salty mix, while the Sweet Chili Space Poppers are similarly perfect. None leave a gross coating in your mouth, or make you any thirstier than regular popcorn should. It’s an actual gourmet product, something we are seeing fewer of in the industrywide race to the bottom.
If you think we are exaggerating, start with a 10 or 100 mg bag (2 mg per piece) of their Chicago Style poppers. A blend of caramel and cheddar, this is not an easy snack to execute, and this company kills it. That’s no surprise since its founders are past winners of the Netflix show Baking Impossible, but it’s nonetheless surprising any time a weed product tastes better than its analog that doesn’t get you stoned.
Now, if you know of any Massachusetts cannabis company that’s making gum, or tuna fish, or tuna-flavored gum, please contact us immediately.
