[For those of you not in the know, "Chicago Mix" is what they call it when they mix cheddar cheese popcorn and caramel corn in the same serving.]
I walked in and looked up at the sign and, although all the other flavors had prices in the column for a small serving, Chicago Mix did not. So I was forced to buy the medium size. (Admittedly, "forced" may be too strong a word, as I will say that I kind of did it willingly.)
When I asked why it wasn't an offering, the guy behind the counter said, "our customers wouldn't want to get something this good in so small a size". Now, normally when someone tells me no, I get a hankering to do it anyway. [Luckily for me, genetically, my nose is rather large -- so it can handle all of the face-spiting I've been known to do.]
Thanks to that response that I decided was pretty darn clever, small size of tasty popcorn, you will not be missed.
