Here's a little secret that D & T won't tell you: \r
\r
I was just at two of their stores in NYC and NJ last month. I asked the store employees how they make their popcorn. Get this: ALL of their popcorn flavors are made with artificial flavorings and pre-mixed CHEMICAL powder out of a BOX. I wrote down one of the names on the box: their caramel is made with a chemical mix called ""caramel mix, NU100L"". The ingredient list includes preservatives, artificial flavorings, etc. Their cheese ""paste"" is all made out of transfat (i.e., crisco) which has artificial color, artificial flavoring, and preservatives. It's a tier below CheezeWhizz. Oh yeah, it comes in a plastic TUB. To be specific, it's made by Gold Metal and it's chemical #2392 ""Cheddar Gold"". YUK, YUK, YUK!!!!!! \r
\r
In the store, they put on a ""show"" (e.g., pop popcorn and drizzle chocolate in front of you) to make you believe that it's natural. Their popcorn may be made the same day but they are NOT gourmet by anyone's standard?well, unless you think McDonald?s burgers are considered ?gourmet?.\r
\r
D & T are liars and GREEDY. It is NOT an honest company that delivers on quality. Its focus is entirely on making a quick buck. Don?t be fooled by their ?marketing spin?: their popcorn is NOT natural (contrary to what their advertising say...obviously, they spend a lot of $$ on marketing but NOT on their products). \r
\r
Oprah must be getting paid a lot of $ for her endorsement b/c I am sure she doesn't eat chemicals like this.\r
\r
Believe me, I would pay the money if I knew they delivered on quality?but really?this is Frito Lay quality popcorn at Godiva chocolate price.\r
\r
Don't order their OVER-PRICED low quality popcorn, unless you like junk food at $5 a bag (which cost them 25 cents to make). \r

These guys are CROOKS, only out to make a quick buck.
Pros: many locations
Cons: bad servoce, chemically processed popcorn
