Holy Kettle Corn!!!

What's so holy about Holy Kettle Corn?

For starters, its non-greasy! Okay, not really that non-greasy but its less greasy than your usual Tatters or those microwavable ones. Second, its kettle popped! No! Not the kettle that you use for stove top water heating but as in the pan type or in the venacular, kawali or kawa (because of the size). They use no oil or butter, hence non-greasy or make that no added extra grease, leaving you with just the corn's natural grease. This then translates to less cholesterol or as their packaging proclaims no cholesterol (yippieee! the go signal for most of us to INDULGE in our pop corn cravings!). Third, it has this unique sweet-salty taste that just makes your hand automatically reach in the bag for more. Fourth, its reasonably priced. A small bag (around the size of the big bag of Chippy) of HKC will cut you back 25 bucks while the big bag (around 3/4 the size of a big Lay's) will cut you back 60. The small bag will do for those who arent really into popcorns but trust me, you'll probably buy yourself another bag once your through with your first one so I suggest you buy the big one so you wont be left hanging. They are REALLY that good!!!

The only drawback with HKC is that they have only a few kiosks strewn across the city. The ones that I know of are located in ATC (near Breadtalk), Metropolis (not really sure but a cousin of mine said they have one there), Glorietta (activity center), Forbes' Shell Station, Starmall (Shaw Blvd, not really sure on this one, a friend just told me) and one somewhere along Pearl Drive in Ortigas. And for someone like me who is isolated (lolz) in Rockwell, it poses a problem if I suddenly have the urge (which much to my chagrin happens every now and then) to have some HKC. *sigh* I hope they put one up in the Plant so that HKC can just be a few walks away...
