Shirley's popcorn cookout on Saturday
Let the best flavor win.
In a culinary battle, Shirley’s Gourmet Popcorn Co. associates are at it again.
On Saturday, Sept. 12, five new popcorn flavors will lure customers into the 117 S. Main St., Bluffton store. Saturday’s store hours are 9 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
During store hours customers may take home a goodie bagd with each of the samples, free in any purchase. Customers may also vote online. The winning flavor will be October’s flavor of the month.
Here’s the competition:
• Honey Mustard – spicy with hints of sweetness
• Chili Cheese – that’s all the description you need
• Frosted raspberry lemonade – it extends summer a little bit longer
• Southern delight – vanilla, dark chocolate with hints of cherry
• Banana split – could be ice cream disguised as popcorn
