TAURUS (APRIL 20 – MAY 20): Churro Popcorn
As an Earth sign ruled by the planet, Venus, Tauruses are all about indulging, seeking comfort and slowing down. They crave food, environments, people and feelings that are pleasing to the senses above all. The best flavors for a Taurus are those with an extra dash of sugar. The marriage of soft cinnamon and the vibrant sweetness of Churro popcorn will keep a Taurus salivating for more and sharing it with friends!
GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 20): Caramel Cheddar Popcorn
Symbolized by the Twins, Geminis bring a spunky and adventurous energy everywhere that they go. Yet, because they have two sides to their personalities, they need something that will keep them guessing! Geminis are known for being charming and always on the move, but also that they can get bored rather quickly. Caramel Cheddar Popcorn will definitely capture the attention of a Gemini. The sweet flavor of Caramel paired with the salty Cheddar can satisfy the cravings they have.
CANCER (JUNE 21 – JULY 22): Caramel Popcorn
Cancers are represented by the Crab and ruled by the Moon. As a Water sign, they are sweet, emotional, comforting and homey. In astrology, the Moon speaks to the home, our roots, where we come from and how we recharge our lives. Cancer is also all about nostalgia, growth, nourishment and comfort. What says nostalgia and comfort more than Caramel Popcorn? The fresh burst of sweet caramel along with the salty and buttery undertones is the most comforting of all popcorn flavors.
LEO (JULY 23 – AUGUST 22): Lemonade Popcorn
Leo is a Fire sign, represented by a Lion and ruled by the Sun. They are showstoppers—everything they do is big and loud. They are extremely passionate about everything they do and always want to be in the spotlight. Their playful attitude is even reflected in how they wish to have fun with their food! Lemonade popcorn is the most carefree and playful popcorn flavor. Lemonade popcorn is “oh, so refreshing” and is the perfect balance between sweet and tangy. It’s a unique flavor that will tantalize the taste buds!
VIRGO (AUGUST 23 – SEPTEMBER 22): Mint Chocolate Cookie Popcorn
Virgos are detail-oriented perfectionists and one of the most health conscience signs of the zodiac. They’re sensual Earth signs who are ruled by inquisitive Mercury. When they decide to indulge in a dessert, they’ll go for a dark chocolate or peppermint flavored treat since both claim to have health benefits. Mint Chocolate Cookie is the perfect popcorn flavor for any Virgo because it has a bright yet delicate flash of mint combined with a smooth chocolate finish that will leave all Virgos wanting more!
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 – OCTOBER 22): Cookies & Cream Popcorn
Libras are extroverted, friendly people who crave peace, harmony and balance. However, because they are symbolized by the Scales, ruled by Venus and also an Air sign, they can sometimes be indecisive when there are too many options! Cookies & Cream fits perfectly for their popcorn flavor because it brings a perfect balance. They will appreciate this thoughtful partnership of smooth cream paired with a chocolate cookie crunch. Yum!
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 – NOVEMBER 21): Cheddar Jalapeno Popcorn
Scorpios are opinionated, intense and fiery, as they are ruled by both Mars and Pluto. They have strong personalities and are “all or nothing” when it comes to their thoughts once they set their mind on something. Because of this, Scorpios have a preference for bold, vivid popcorn flavors. Cheddar Jalapeño Popcorn will provide the perfect amount of zing that very Scorpio craves!
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 – DECEMBER 21): Confetti Popcorn
Vibrant Sagittarius is a Fire sign, ruled by the lucky planet, Jupiter. This is what makes them so free-spirited, fun-loving and adventurous! They are often the life of the party, regardless if they’re throwing the event, attending one or just trying to be the star. What goes better with a party than Confetti Popcorn? This playful sweet birthday cake flavor is sure to satisfy any Sagittarius’ palate.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 – JANUARY 19): Cheddar Cheese
As a grounded Earth sign ruled by the mighty planet of tradition, Saturn, Capricorns can be very picky about their decisions—especially when it comes to food! They are known to be practical, grounded and hardworking. The steadfast Capricorn isn’t likely to fall for the latest fad or jump on a bandwagon just because everyone else is doing it, which is why Cheddar Cheese would be the tried-and-true popcorn flavor they would pick above all.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 – FEBRUARY 18): Arizona Mix
Aquarians are ruled by Uranus, the planet of the future. They are also an Air sign, which means they take an intellectual approach to life. Because of this, they thrive on being eccentric and are known to think out of the box. It is no surprise that this sign would gravitate to a more unique taste like Arizona Mix Popcorn. This blend will definitely capture the attention of any Aquarius because it is a fun play on the favorite Chicago blend and combines the sweet flavor of the Churro paired with the savory kick of Spicy Cheddar. Arizona Mix will surely pique their curiosity!
PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 – MARCH 20): Chai Tea Popcorn
Sensitive, sweet and wise, Pisces are a Water sign ruled by Neptune that puts them deep in their feels. They are always envisioning, searching and wondering about what’s beyond the material world. The generous Pisces would decidedly appreciate the complex flavor of Chai Tea Popcorn. They will revel in the extraordinary taste of exotic spices that it offers, which will tantalize their minds and spirits.
