Call me a purist. Call me vanilla. Call me Plain Jane. Call me your daddy. I just like my popcorn that way.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, while checking out chips in the snack aisle, my peripheral vision noticed the new Orville Redenbacher&#8217;s Cinnabon Popcorn. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh, dude, that sounds gross,&#8221; I thought to myself.<\/p>\n<p>Then I thought, &#8220;Gross enough to be the PERFECT item to review.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The popcorn is flavored with a cinnamon buttah and comes with a pouch of Cinnabon frosting, which you pour on top of the popcorn. Sounds good, doesn&#8217;t it?  Of course, I could think of another use for that Cinnabon frosting, but I don&#8217;t have a lady-friend at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing I noticed after opening the box was the fact that there were only TWO bags in the box. This surprised me because I could&#8217;ve sworn most boxes of microwave popcorn have four bags.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, after sticking a bag in the microwave and not burning it, I have to say that this is the first product EVER that originally made me nauseous, but I learned to love. Um, sort of like, Celine Dion.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, wait. It&#8217;s the other way around. I loved Celine Dion, but I eventually became nauseous of her.<\/p>\n<p>No, no, no, that&#8217;s not right. Um, Celine Dion has always made me nauseous? <\/p>\n<p>Oh yeah, that&#8217;s right, she has.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, while the popcorn was popping, the cinnamon aroma of it filled the room and made me a little nauseous. However, after I added the Cinnabon frosting and began chowing it down, I felt a lot better. I guess this was due to the fact that the popcorn was actually pretty good and I couldn&#8217;t stop eating it.<\/p>\n<p>Thank goodness for the show <i><a href=https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Strange_Love>Strange Love<\/a><\/i> on VH1. Seeing Brigitte Neilsen and Flavor Flav&#8217;s naked bodies instantly made me nauseous again and stop eating.<\/p>\n<p>Because it was a Cinnabon-related product, I was hoping for a gooey mess, but all I got were Cinnabon-smelling fingers, which turned out to be frustrating.<\/p>\n<p>Hours after eating the Cinnabon Popcorn, despite washing my hands several times, my fingers still smelled like Cinnabons. Although, during those several times, I did use the cheap stuff (i.e. generic Wally World hand soap). <\/p>\n<p>However, when I used the good stuff (i.e. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/index.php?p=109\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Method Green Tea + Aloe Hand Wash<\/a>), which I only use for special occasions, the smell was replaced with the aroma of Method Green Tea + Aloe Hand Wash. <\/p>\n<p>I wonder how many times I would have to type Method Green Tea + Aloe Hand Wash to get free stuff from Method?<\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b> Orville Redenbacher&#8217;s Cinnabon Popcorn<br \/>\n<b>Purchase Price:<\/b> $3.39<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 8 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> ONLY TWO BAGS IN A BOX.
