Princeton Popcorn Company's two-pack combo bundles a 2lb tub of yellow mushroom popcorn kernels with a 2lb tub of white butterfly hulless kernels, giving buyers 4lbs total to compare the two kernel styles side by side. The bundle is priced at $47.50.
Mushroom kernels pop into a round, dense shape that popcorn makers often favor for coating with caramel or other toppings since the rounder kernel holds up better to heavy coatings, while butterfly kernels pop into the more familiar light, irregular shape typically associated with movie-theater-style popcorn. Pairing the two in one bundle lets buyers decide which style suits their preferred recipes.
Feedback on the mushroom variety specifically has been mixed. One reviewer described poor popping results with this batch, noting that only about half the kernels reached full size while the rest popped partially or not at all, and compared the texture of what did pop to chewing something tough and dense, rather than the lighter texture they expected from butterfly-style corn. That reviewer said they would not repurchase. This kind of variability is worth flagging for buyers who are specifically drawn to the mushroom variety, since kernel freshness and moisture content can affect pop rate and texture more than with some other snack products.
Buyers primarily interested in classic light-and-fluffy popcorn may get more consistent results from the butterfly half of this combo, while those set on the mushroom style should go in aware that results can vary by batch based on the feedback above.
