Free Dale and Thomas Popcorn (plus $2.95 shipping)

This is supposed to be really good popcorn. It was in Oprah's Magazine as her favorite treats:

I ordered both flavors offered as it was 2.95 per container which i think isa good deal. Considering this stuff is normally $8.00 per cansiter and you can get two of them ($16 value) for only $5.99 total shipping...

no idea how this popcorn taste but I thought I would try it.. Anyone try this popcorn before?

How big are these free canisters?

You can order as many "free" canisters as you want, it seems, for just $2.95 a piece.

According to a post on fatwallet.com, someone said they emailed the customer support and got a response that the canisters are 10 ounces and the size of the canister is 4” x 7”.

Here is a link to the only "canister" I found on their website:

According to the description, each canister is 3 cups of popped popcorn. They sell for $8 each (set of 5 for $40)

Thanks for the link. I have not tried this popcorn before, but I ordered a couple of canisters, 1 of each flavor. I'll be happy to report back (if I even get any of it -- my kids usually open the mail if they get home before me!)

I ordered one of each back in the first few days of March. They said 4-6 weeks for shipping, so hopefully they'll be coming in a couple weeks.

I'll let you all know if it's any good. I believe the promotion only lasts through march, though.

I just got my popcorn, and at least the chocolate drizzled one is pretty good.

Certainly they aren't losing money on the free+shipping proposition -- the packages can't cost more than $1 to ship, and I doubt it costs them $2 to produce each canister.

But again, it's good popcorn, and it is a pretty big canister (3" diameter, 6" high cylinder or so).

Hope you all enjoy yours, too.
