Spicy! Taste good. My other half loves them. But so spicy he's savoring his last bag! 😅

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to try this but I did hear great reviews regarding the flavor & spice level. Before popping I happened to take a look at the label since I’m pregnant & was curious if it said anything in terms of cautions. Sure enough it did but not they type of warning I was expecting.“WARNING: Consuming this product can expose you to the chemical Acrylamide, that is created when the popcorn is popped and is known to the State of California to cause cancer andbirth defects or other reproductive harm.”Might not be a huge deal to some but for those who are mindful of what they consume it’s important to know.I checked the box of Pop Secret I have & it did not mention this. Turns out commercial brands removed this chemical from the bags but not all companies have. Really disappointed I have to return this, I LOVE super spicy food & was excited to try this popcorn. Hopefully the company can change their bags so everyone can enjoy this.

The flavor seems like it will be good. Impossible to eat. All you do is choke and cough. This should be taken off the shelf. I never write bad reviews but this is non-edible, and not because of the spice, because it’s like eating pepper spray

Great specialty popcorn with a few caveats. This will appeal to those persons who enjoy spicy foods with a lot of heat. I like the taste of ghost pepper and have this and several other similar products. Super hot pepper flavors have a tendency to burn people up, and overpower the actual taste. For those who eat a lot of spicy and very hot peppers and peppery foods and are tolerant to the heat, this popcorn tastes really good. It is quick and easy to make.The caveats:- The popping popcorn tends to aerosolize a little of the pepper. Breathing the fumes near the microwave may make you cough and irritate your throat when you first take it out. Letting it sit in the microwave and cool for 3 or 4 minutes before opening the microwave helps. Do not breathe the fumes from the bag.- Don’t give this to people who are not tolerant to very hot peppers. They won’t like you and you will waste good popcorn.- After eating this popcorn, wash your hands well with cool soapy water. Don’t touch sensitive surfaces with your fingers, like for example, rubbing your eyes is a bad idea if you still have some of the residue from this popcorn spice on your fingers.That’s it! If you like very hot spicy foods, then this is for you.

Purchased for my son who loves hot and spicy foods. His review as follows: Advertising and packaging is accurate- it is indeed very very hot! So hot, you’ll burn yourself a new “one” 🙊...but still want to eat every bag. On the bright side, no stomach pain from the scorching inferno that passed through my intestines. Quality popcorn- no cheap, stale stuff, that leaves you with a bowl of kernels.

I love hot stuff, but this really tested me. I was a little sweaty and my nose started to run. But the flavour is amazing! Make sure to bring a glass of milk! Arrived quickly too!

Being as short as possible, a few comments on others reviews and my feedback..When being cooked, it did have some smell but not that bad. In fact, making it at work caused others to come try itThe popcorn is very tasty but not overly hot. I finished a hole bag in one sitting without water.Heat would be 5.5 out of 10.. I would compare it to a jalapeno pepper at bestTaste - 9 out of 10 (I would have gone 10 but I found it hard to cook the entire bag without some burning thus the flavor was affected)Package was fairly beaten up and the hot sauce in the package started to weep thru the popcorn bag.I would but again for a more realistically priced. All that tried it loved it (none of them found it too hot)

Spontaneous Combustion Popcorn by Southwest Specialty Food Co. of Arizona is the happiest of chilehead marriages, that of searing heat and delicious, complex flavor. Some hot snacks are one or the other, which leaves the consumer feeling short changed; that is not the case with this product: Grab a handful of this popcorn right out of the microwave and you WILL feel the heat, followed by a rich, buttery flavor that is difficult to describe. The corn pops up beautifully, with very few spinsters in the bottom of the bowl. Yes, it is an expensive product, but I do not know of any other spicy popcorn that is on a par with it. Caution should be taken when opening the microwave door, as this product produces a very pungent vapor that can get in your eyes and nose. It will be interesting to see whether Ass Kickin' will come out with a Scorpion pepper popcorn or even a Carolina Reaper version; let us hope that it will. In the meantime, as far as stinging hot but also flavorful microwave popcorn goes, Spontaneous Combustion is top of the line.

In terms of shipping, it arrive faster than expected in about two days. In terms of the quality of the popcorn itself, this tastes and feels like one of the higher quality extra butter popcorn you would buy off of the Shelf at the supermarket.Now what's special about this popcorn? The difference between this and your typical one is that this has ghost peppers added to it either in the form of I guess a powder from the ground peppers or something of that sort.The heat level of this popcorn I would say it's between especially spicy fresh jalapeno from the garden and a particularly spicy fresh serrano pepper from the garden. It will not give you that I have to sit here for 5 minutes with my mouth open having a kind of out-of-body experience feeling that you would get with an extract sauce, but it will give you the burn that you desire.Final verdict: I highly recommend this popcorn if you like spicy foods if you really like microwavable popcorn and like spicy foods then I highly highly recommend this please buy it. It is an absolutely excellent microwavable popcorn with an added kick that all Chileans will absolutely love it may even be a good introduction to spicy foods for a person who doesn't typically eat spicy foods and /or doesn't have much experience eating spicy foods.
