Will somebody please come to my desk at TOC headquarters and tackle me, knock me out, spray me with mace—whatever it takes to get my hand out of this bag of gingerbread popcorn from Garrett’s? I mean, seriously, it’s bad enough that our office is about 100 inches from Garrett’s front door; now I have to walk by knowing that for the next month it’s not just their caramel corn I’ll have to resist, but this stuff, too? The aggressive dash of cinnamon and spicy ginger isn’t just addictive; it’s criminal. In fact, if there’s a problem with Garrett’s regular caramel corn it’s that it’s almost too sweet to eat; the problem with this stuff, of course, is that it isn’t.
