Battle of the dishes: Topsy’s versus Velvet Creme Popcorn

The Oscars are on Sunday, and a bucket of popcorn is necessary for properly enjoying the ceremony. But which local kernel popper should be in your bowl?

In an effort to determine which popcorn is the best, I picked up caramel and cheese popcorn from the Velvet Creme Popcorn Co. and from Topsy’s. The popcorn was judged head-to-head on packaging, appearance, texture, taste and the combination of flavors.
