Okay, the food-flavored-foods were funny for a while. There were the crazy-flavored jelly beans and the coffee creamers that tasted like Girl Scout cookies or whatever. Even the vodka thing was enjoyable for a bit. Bacon? Hey, everybody loves bacon. Doughnuts?! I thought you’d never ask! But I don’t even like butter on my popcorn. Why in the name of all that is wholesome and delicious would a company make a buttered popcorn flavor of vodka?! Stop the madness!
I guess it doesn’t help that I pretty much went on a health kick post college and never looked back. The search for simple foods of humble origins and natural ingredients has been sort of a daily pursuit for me for long enough now that this product is just frustrating. I’m probably overreacting but I’m on the Internet a lot and I see a lot of ploys to create niche fan-bases and siphon money from their pockets. Fine, commerce, it’s great. But I find this — and feel free to counterpoint — I find this a little insulting. Like, what mixers would you put in there? Coke? So you can pretend you’re getting drunk at the movies? So confused. Or like, what’s next — mac n’cheese? Chicken-fried steak? Big Mac? What do you think?
If you’re truly adventurous you can buy it here.
Lovelies, would you ever order a drink made with this stuff? Has this officially crossed a line?

If it tastes like the butter popcorn Jelly Belly jelly-bean. It would be yummy. If it tastes like movie theater popcorn, no thanks.

I heard there’s cookie dough vodka that tastes really good. I’m not sure about buttered popcorn flavored though.

I would try it. I bet it would be great in mixed drinks with caramel/butterscotch elements. I actually took your “getting drunk at the movies” thing to heart; mixing it with coke. Idk, if it’s done right it could be good.

I’d try it. No need for mix ins.

Yum! I’d try it, and I honestly think you’re over-reacting big time. So what if they have random vodka flavours? Why on earth is that insulting? People drink vodka neat on the rocks all the time – or you can probably mix it with soda water or lemonade and still have it taste okay. I don’t see any difference between this and fruit-flavoured vodka in terms of marketing – they’re just different flavours of alcohol.

Super sweet vodka is a no-no for me. So that ex’s out: Whipped cream, doughnut, cookie dough, just about all of them.
Bacon flavored vodka? just sounds disgusting, & I am a bitch who loves her bacon. I just don’t want to drink it. Plus can you imagine what the aftertaste of vomiting that shit up would taste like??
Buttered popcorn vodka is ridiculous agreed, we went from “Oh hey, for a sweet tooth or a sweet drinnk, that might taste yummy, to okay, maybe for someone I could see them liking it, hell I might do it on a dare to plain outright WTF?! “
Enough with the weird vodka flavors, you don’t see them doing it to my rum, or whiskey, or abusing any other alcohol.

I’d say with a white creamsoda, like A&W or something, it’d probably be pretty delish. Or in a cocktail with some Bailey’s, etc. Just saying. I’m sure it could be mixed, palatable, and delicious.

hell i’d try it.
