Fans of Chicago mix popcorn will be interested to hear of the new Smartfood Caramel & Cheddar Mix Popcorn from Frito-Lay that's only here for the summer. The limited-edition popcorn is made from a signature mix of caramel popcorn and cheddar popcorn that has become an iconic snack staple that hails from Chicago which has spread across the country.
The Smartfood Caramel & Cheddar Mix Popcorn is branded with the Illinois city skyline on the top portion to draw a correlation between the new flavor from the snack brand and the spot where it originated. The popcorn has a more savory taste profile that is likely the brand's latest push towards satisfying mature consumers when it comes to snacking options.
