My favourite has got to be macadamia. It's a good balance between sweetness and nuttiness, without making the whole think too jelak. Almond is okay too but the crunch and mouthfeel for macadamia is a bit more superior in my opinion. There used to be a lot of kernels, but lately I find that this has improved. I was quite excited for Speculoos (limited edition) but most of it was just bits of crushed caramel rather than the popcorn. I personally think it's quite inflexible to disallow mixing of flavours with the premium flavour. I don't mind paying for the premium pricing for a bag of premium + usual flavours. Previous limited-edition flavours that I tried were also underwhelming (e.g. matcha, chocolate peanut butter) so I recommend sampling first before purchasing. I used to love Chicago mix (Caramel + cheese) but nowadays I find the caramel too sweet for my liking - I think I'm getting old! Definitely don't buy the caramel on its own, the mix with the salty cheese balances it out. Cheese on its own is way too salty too, and there's no crunch at all in the cheese, so you definitely need the crunch from caramel (or maybe macadamia!) so you don't feel like you're eating soggy popcorn. Overall, Garrett's remains a good souvenir, or perhaps something to bring for parties. Top recommendation 1) Macadamia 2) Almond 3) Macadamia/Almond and Cheese Mix 4) Chicago Mix. Don't recommend: seasonal flavours, unless you've sampled them.
