Currently on sale for 2-for-$5 at Coles ($2.50each), but stacks with $1 Flybuys member benefit bringing it down to $1.50 per item. I simulated online and at check out 24 bags is charged $36, so that checks out. 🍿
Worth stocking up for the plethora of upcoming blockbusters 😎

Probably discontinued as not shown in the Cobs product range on website
Still selling at Amazon
When I linked both pages (Cobs and Amazon) earlier, OzB deleted immediately even though I'm not affiliated
Don't know what happened
Amazon are charging way over RRP,lmao. I'll just buy some seasoning off eBay.
Don't recommend the Sea Salted Caramel one, did not enjoy it. Stick to the classics
I would avoid the cheddar cheese as well.
Sweet & salty is the best one
Pop it yourself. Much cheaper. $1.95 for 400g, $3.30 for 1Kg @ Woolies. Coles has significantly lowered and locked the price on the 400g package till the 11th of April. The Woolies price is slightly lower since I last checked in store. Save up for a pop corn popper? Perhaps buying a $39 Anko air fryer Kmart is a better idea if you can still get one.
I just pop popcorn in a pan. But something like this is convenient and time saving, $1.50/bag is a great price.
I just pop it on the stove too the rare times I have popcorn but that usually results in some kernels being burnt while others are unpopped and then there is clean up to do, Years ago, I suppose before microwave ovens became as common as they are now, you could get disposable foil pans with a nice foil bubble forming as the folded foil cover unfolded due to the build up of hot air.
My problem is that on a per-weight basis pre-popped popcorn costs more than other snack foods that are harder to prepare. At $1.50/bag that is $1.25 per 100gm assuming one can get the larger size bag ($1.88/100g for the 80g bag.) Aldi plain crisps used to cost $2 for 230g ($0.87/100g) before they went out of stock, my most recent purchase as at $2.69 for 230g which is a huge hike which brings them to $1.17/100g which admittedly is getting close to costs of the larger popcorn bags. On that basis the popcorn deal isn't that bad so perhaps I could justify buying a couple of bags but on the other hand Coles is still selling their Cheese Tubes at $1.50 for a 170g bag ($0.88/100g) (while Aldi has upped the price on their Cheezels clone).
If you think I have a problem with popcorn I have what I think is a bigger problem with ice cream where you are paying for air which disappears unless your freezer is cold enough. At least the popcorn people still label their product with a weight. I doubt the ice cream people list air as an ingredient.
Tried the Cheddar Cheese variation, it was eh. Just ok, nothing special IMO. Are the other flavours better?
Avoid the butter one - too bland
I love the sea salted caramel one. So damn good! Have a packet of the cheddar in the cupboard at the moment. Seems like they aren't too popular. Will see. :)
Have they discontinued the salt and vinegar flavour?
