"Garret Popcorn Shops" is a popcorn specialty store born in Chicago, USA. The Harajuku store, which opened in February 2013, is still lined up . The freshly made and rich taste is also popular, but one of the features is the large can "1 gallon can" unique to the United States. Each can contains about 480g (16.93oz) of popcorn, and the Shisui Premium Outlet store, which opened in April, also sells double the amount of 2 gallon cans (about 1,160g (5.64oz)).

However, this time, a " 6.5 gallon can ", which is much larger than the two gallon can, will be on sale from December 6th, limited to one can per day. The popcorn that goes in there weighs about 3 kg ! It weighs about the same as three milk cartons.


Before the release, the eating editorial department was able to get a "giant can" ... Anyway, the impact is outstanding! It is quite large for men to carry (height 175 cm, standard body shape). Compared to a regular 1-gallon can, the 1-gallon can looks very small. Not to mention the difference when compared to a 500ml (16.91us fl oz) PET bottle.


When I opened the lid, there was a lot of popcorn up to the top! The round can is divided into three parts, and contains plenty of three flavors: brown "caramel crisp", yellow "cheese corn", and white "mild salt".

The diameter of the can is about 31 cm and the height is about 35 cm. I wondered if this popcorn was packed for 35 cm ... I was a little terrified.


By the way, the amount of food that the shop envisions is about 30g (1.06oz). When I measure it, it's about the size of a fist. The 6.5 gallon can contains about 3 kg, so that amount is for 100 people! It seems to be a perfect success even at a large party. In the editorial department, the staff gathered in one hand with a mug and tissue.


It contains plenty of 3kg and the price is 15,600 yen. The design is a "signature holiday can" with red and green Christmas colors. The sale period is from December 6th to December 25th, and each store is limited to one can per day. It seems that reservations cannot be made, so there is no choice but to line up if you want to get one. After all it seems to be crowded on holidays, so it may be more likely that you can buy it if you aim for weekdays. I don't know how much demand for 3kg of popcorn is in Japan, which doesn't hold as big a party as in the West.

But don't forget that you have to bring back a heavy, large can that weighs 3 kg.
