Mike Popcorn, a familiar brand when it comes to popcorn, has released a limited-time product, the "Mike Popcorn Honey Butter," which was first released in convenience stores on Monday, October 7, 2024!
When I think of popcorn, only two flavors come to mind: salt and caramel. So I decided to try this new Fluffy Honey Butter Flavor!
I'll be reviewing what it tastes like!
This is what the packaging looks like
While keeping the familiar stripe design, the package uses soft, warm colors to match the autumn and winter seasons, making the limited-time product enjoyable to look at.
The yellows and browns make me think of honey and butter.
The nutritional information is as follows.
Per 40g bag, it contains::
- Calories: 200kcal

Also, it contains about one head of lettuce's worth of dietary fiber!
I often feel guilty when I eat snacks, but knowing that it's this rich in dietary fiber helps lessen the guilt!
Now, let's open it!
When I opened the bag, I was greeted with the sweet scent of honey and the rich aroma of butter!
Just the smell of a snack when you open it is enough to make me happy.
I actually tried it
As for the flavor, when I took the first bite, the sweetness of the honey spread in my mouth first, followed by the gentle saltiness of the butter.
This perfect combo of sweet and salty made the popcorn disappear in no time, but if you eat them continuously, you start to get used to the maple scent...!
But it's okay—if you take a break and then eat it again, the addictive aroma comes back!
Maybe this is a sign that we should enjoy this product slowly!
The flavor was so addictive that I couldn't stop eating it!
Sales are ending in mid-January 2025! Hurry before it sells out!
The perfect combo of sweet and salty allows you to keep eating it without getting bored. The "can't stop eating phenomenon" that happens with snacks can probably be solved with just this product!
Plus, since it has about one head of lettuce's worth of dietary fiber, isn't it a diet food of sorts?
At 200 calories, it's also on the lower end for snacks, so you can make your brain cells happy easily!
Be sure to get your hands on the "Mike Popcorn Honey Butter" before the sales period ends, and deliver that perfect sweet and salty combo to your brain cells!
While it is currently available at convenience stores, it will be released at other stores starting on Monday, November 11, 2024, with sales scheduled to end in mid-January 2025.
It will be discontinued around the start of the new year, so be sure to get it while it's still available!
