Beginning in June 2020, you’ll be able to get Smartfood Cap’n Crunch’s Crunch Berries Popcorn Mix (its official name) on shelves. The crunchy snacks bring sweet and salty flavors together, and we’re hoping this is one treat that will keep us coming back for more.
ORIGINAL POST: Jan. 28, 2020, 2:23 p.m.: What do you get when mix sweet cereal and buttery popcorn? Your newest snack of choice, of course. Smartfood and The Quaker Oats Company have joined forces to create Cap’n Crunch Berries Popcorn Mix, and something tells us that we’ll be able to polish off one bag ourselves.
Instagram account @snacksfromaround first posted a picture of the sweet-salty treat, followed by @markie_devo and @candyhunting. The bag looks to consist of buttery popcorn and the berry pieces from Cap’n Crunch Berries cereal. We’re guessing that the best way to eat the treat is with a piece of popcorn and piece of cereal, so you get that flavor balance.
Cap’n Crunch Berries Popcorn Mix is expected to hit shelves in March 2020. We’ll let you know when we have concrete information on availability.
“Can’t wait to try it!” one person wrote on Instagram. “Oh wow how exciting!!!” wrote another. I think we speak for many snackers when we say that we have high hopes that this popcorn mix is going to make our taste buds explode.
