Available at that local store in several sweet and savory options but not the Prickly Pear Caramel option so I'm getting ready to place an order for mail delivery from the AZ Mothership. Roughly $8.50 a bag here (of course buying here means I'm not paying shipping) and I imagine about that pricec if ordering directly where I think one can order mixed packs or a 6 pack of one kind. Clean, healthy ingredients, most or maybe all are gluten free and some or maybe all are vegan. Delicious! Don't tell the people on my holiday list but I think this year for birthdays and winter holiday gifts they will be receiving POPPED popcorn variety boxes!

I found [POPPED] by accident during Brew at the Zoo, and the jalapeno cheddar and churro flavors became instant faves. I'm eager to try more in both the sweet and savory lines (mesquite smoked mezcal caramel, green chile, bourbon espresso, prickly pear, etc.), and I'm also excited to send the Saguaro Collection giftbox for the holidays. It's always such a bonus to find a fantastic product AND support local.

There's almost never pieces that'll break your teeth. It's popped very nicely. All of the flavors are really robust, even the "plain" ones like butter and cheese. They manage to get all the coating to stick onto every piece they put in the package, so you get a thick mouthful of flavor in each bite. They do not skimp on the flavor at all! Their cheese/caramel blend is to die for, it's so good! As is the snickerdoodle. The jalapeño cheese is also a very good savory option. It's not like crazy spicy, you just can very much taste the unique jalapeño flavor. Which is different from most things that are jalapeño flavored. It usually just means "spicy" but Uncle Bob's lets you taste the actual flavor. The pricing is fine for me. Not cheap, not expensive. The employees are nice and helpful. The shop is small but has everything you need. I will keep coming here for popcorn as long as they exist!

They even have a large variety of tins to fill! And of course, a woman owned business! I will be making sure people know about this place! It's been a few days and I'm already to go back to grab more churro popcorn!

Overall, great experience. Here's why: I'm not a huge "water ice" connoisseur, didn't grow-up on…read morethe east coast eating it so I don't love it out of tradition or nostalgia, I like it, but don't always love it. I mean, it's right there in the name, it's literally watery ice with some flavoring, so maybe it would peak for me in the crazy heat of summer when the cold is refreshing. However, add some frozen custard to make it a "gelati", and now we're getting somewhere anytime of year. I got the root beer water ice gelati, which means they start with frozen custard in the bottom of the cup (I love the vanilla), add some water ice on top to fill the cup, then add more frozen custard on top above the rim. Check out the pic I posted. My wife got the wild black cherry gelati. My rootbeer water ice was a bit bland, not strong enough tasting, her wild black cherry water ice was really flavorful and good. The frozen vanilla custard on both was excellent, rich, creamy and smooth. Every time I eat at Rita's I want to tell them 90% custard, 10% water ice. And they're always so incredibly nice they'd definitely do it. Next time! I keep saying that, seriously, next time! The service at this location was extremely welcoming and friendly, it was great. Atmosphere is bright and open, lots of light, colorful light board menus, lots of colorful, fun, happy signs with specials and such. The place is clean and well kept, comfortable, not too loud, with a slow steady stream of customers. Check out my pics of the inside. I think as far as water ice goes, compared to many other places, and I've had a few, though I'm not a water ice aficionado, Rita's is excellent. As far as frozen custard goes, Rita's is excellent. The choices and toppings are endless. I recommend Rita's. ***FREE WATER ICE DAY is coming up on March 20th. Great time to pop in and give it a shot, worth the extra to add some of that delicious frozen vanilla custard to your favorite flavor water ice.

You get to watch the whole process, stepping ladder provided. Nice, refreshing ice cream dessert. I think it is unique to Tucson. I also had a milkshake. Nice and creamy. The photos, except for the truck, were taken at a Yelp event. His mother was working at the truck when I came in today. They are located at The Pit food truck park at 22nd St. and Pantano. Give them a try! 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Tucson-top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

Not sure if they move around, but we found them in the downtown area. The gentleman manning the truck, was very friendly and nice. It was very unique in what they do, and he took his time preparing our ice creams. They only had enough of the regular ice cream to do one serving, so I got the Vegan ice cream and my husband got the regular. I must say the Vegan was pretty tasty! It was not as creamy as the regular (of course) but if they only have Vegan left, it is still worth trying this unique version of ice cream and mix-ins. I did the brownie/coconut mix in, with chocolate sauce. My husband did strawberry/banana with strawberry sauce and it was +++++!
