Things that I miss... Zesty Butter
It all started with Conagra Foods taking away our beloved ACT Zesty Butter popcorn. no longer stocked on the shelfs at HEB... I took to the internets in search of it. Online retailers were also sold out. only to find a thread months later with other people, searching... I racked my brain regretting some of the bags i never finished. Bags that were unfinished by other people, gone. Wondering if there were "hidden bags" in the pantry or closet i often threw clutter in. Alas no Zesty butter... Conagra Foods took it off the market. I thought maybe it will come back? and emailed them on their corporate website asking for its return. A drop in the bucket, too little too late, falls upon deaf ears. months later... I found the ingredients online and tried in vein to reverse engineer, that flavor. nothing, every batch i made came out nothing like my true love. A ghost I was chasing, that flavor. So Conagra Foods thank you for taking ACT Zesty Butter off the market. Bless you friend you seem to know what we like or what's best for us. I'd imagine some genius taste testers messed it up for everyone. Or some nice blogger that thinks they are important started talking shit. ooh its too hot, gross garlic, that's not pop corn. Thank all of you! Ha ha naysayers for influencing other people that never tried it. Somehow I'd imagine these things would fair well living as people love spice ha ha. My mind has run the labyrinth of possibilities over the past 3 years. Taken away too soon. great things that I miss :( I suppose one could just reach for the Tapatio Sauce once again...
