The popcorn was in a little display of its own, near the wine. I can't remember how much the bag cost...and I misplaced my receipt. I'm sorry. It wasn't too pricey.
A mom's (my) take: Here's what I love about it...I love the puffy popcorn pieces. They're big and fluffy. I also love that the caramel is light and that along with sweetness, it adds just a bit of crispiness to the popcorn. What I didn't love was the ginger. Actually, I didn't come across much ginger, but when I did, the flavor didn't seem to go with the caramel popcorn. I'll keep hoping this crystallized ginger flavor is a trend at TJ's, though.
Overall rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
A teenager's (Jack's) take: I normally love flavored popcorn, but this specimen was a little underwhelming. The caramel flavor is noticeable, but definitely not as much as it should be. Likewise, the ginger takes a long time to be tasted, and even then, you'd have to work a bit to figure out that it was ginger (if you hadn't read the package). Sure, the consistency and aftertaste are great, but the flavor itself is just not strong enough.
Overall rating: 3 out of 5 stars
Trader Joe's Caramel Ginger Popcorn: a definite meh.
