Those god awful popcorn tins LOL

[djinniman]

I have a Batman popcorn tin I use as my trash can. The kids have a Spiderman one for their room. Also, I keep some old Christmas lights in a Donald Duck tin from my childhood, circa 1982. :)

my inlaws loves these..lol....they munch on them at night and my kids and hubby usually are right there helping them...lol

[pogiporkchop]

My brother likes these too. Maybe I should get him one...

[able]

I bet it was a Boy Scout Tin they are WAY over priced!!!! But every year we seem to sell them... I really wish the BS would get a new item!!!

yup its the boyscouts. .. but i dsont think they should change a thing!!! and the pop corns good. and you support a great organization.

[mackeeg]

I love them!

[jewleyp]

I just sent one to my son at college, he and his buddies loved it!!

Of course it was a deal idea from here, with a discount code and all:wizard:

 

I even ordered a Halloween one for him with popcorn,pretzels and candy

in it. I am having it delivered on 10/30 for a Halloween present.

 

To each his own I guess:idea:

 

We too use the can afterwards for something, usually a trash can for the

bathroom/bedroom

Every year I let the kids pick their tin, the popcorn is donated to the class for snacks, and they have a new-up to date trash can!!

I love boy scout popcorn.

[Christy Garner]

I love popcorn and buy these tins occasionally - I like the idea of letting the kids use these as storage or trash cans so I will have to get them both one this year.

[love2beurwifey]

I only like the cheesy popcorn in them

[chefbart]

last years are on sale now for $1, lol always get them from someone never opened one

[able]

$1.???where????

[Jennifer0530]

I use to buy the one as walmart or dollar general that are like $5. My kids love the popcorn but I hated it! After seeing a deal on here I ordered a tin from thepopcornfactory.com and it was so good. I'm planning on ordering DH a Michigan Wolverines 3 gallon tin for christmas and I think they are like $25 or $30.

[momof5plus1hubby]

I buy 2..1 is for a prize for the game we play at a Xmas party and the other my kids usually eat the popcorn, or it gets dumped. I love the tins. Some of them are really cute.

[Turtle Mommy]

I have never bought one. Ds class did a gift exchange and he got one last year. It just sat and sat and I had to throw it away.

[tootsieroll23]

Able, the Boy Scout popcorn is way better than the cheap stuff from the store. I buy Boy Scout popcorn too.

I second that!!

[digman6]

we don't do the tins, as we know that my dh gets one from his niece EVERYYEAR:yuck: .the kids eat it and we clean up the crumbs on the floor as usual.once the carmel and cheese is gone we toss it. we use ours to store cat food in! then we just use a cup to scoop it out:cheesy:

[bugsette]

I did see a really cute snowman tin at Rite Aide today

[Trish1298]

Storing dog food in it is a great idea. I never thought of that.

[ChrisKsAngel]

Oh my... I used to always get these from an aunt. Thank goodness she doesn't give them anymore.

 

I think it is funny,because when you go shopping after Christmas for the sales, you see stacks and stacks of these. lol

[Novac]

I'm sure you'll all be glad to know that this item is on K-Mart's Thanksgiving-Day Sale:

 

Assorted Popcorn Tins $4.50

 

Eat up!

[BFQueenofNY]

I make it myself

[ellen zachariia]

This is so funny. My DS saw the cars one at TRU this week and keeps asking for it for the holidays. Hopefully they will go on sale. They also had a Dora one for my DD. They do look good for storage even if the popcorn is yucky.

[vonnyb]

I have been getting them the last couple of years and have not had a problem. I usually give a tin along with gifts for each family members house. The kids seem to like it.

[caramel]

I hate those things and gag when I see one given to me as a gift.

[blakes_mommy]

No way, they are too much of a pain!

[kimmie7097]

My hubby buys those tins everytime we go out,I give the tins to a friend that collects them.

[Booterbunz]

I love the cheese and carmel popcorn in the tins from walmart or kmart! LOL I'll probably buy one this year in a cute princess theme for dd.

[Kandy]

We do the boy scout popcorn. Its actually better than the stuff in walmart but you pay alot more for it , better meaning fresher.

 

Yes its trails end. My DS is a Webelos so this is our last year selling the popcorn (well for him anyway).

 

I just purchased a $40.00 tin. ( It has chocolate popcorn, carmel with almonds and peacans (Im hidding this bag, lol) and cheese popcorn. This is the first year I've tried their cheese popcorn. We normally just buy on chocolate and one carmel with almonds @ $16 a tin.

 

 

We got new items that are not on the sell sheet for our Show and Sell- We got a $5.00 pack of microwave and an $8.00 back of microwave---The $5.00 pack is only 3 packs of popcorn and the $8 pack was 6 bags of popcorn.

 

We save the tins and DS has pens/pencils etc in one on his one and DD has alot of art supplies in one.

[Guest kathybmb]

i like getting them..sometimes the popcorn its good other times eh.. i store things in them too and for some reason its easy to remember oh the baby stuff is in the wizard of oz tin.. the christmas stuff(bows tags wrapping stuff) is in that santa tin..etc etc.. i have a tall one i open up and stand a mess of rolls of wrapping paper in them when im actively wrapping gifts for the season. it keeps them near and they are not rolling all over the floor.

i will sometimes buy them and give them with a movie and some candy to older married nieces and nephews for them and their family.. i have a ton of family now so its a way to give but doesnt break me.

I bet it was a Boy Scout Tin they are WAY over priced!!!! But every year we seem to sell them... I really wish the BS would get a new item!!!

Those things are extortion! My one and only nephew is trying to get me to buy those things. I told him that I'd feel less ripped off if I could just donate some funds to his troop, rather than buying popcorn for way too much money.
