The Popcorn Dispensary — Local services in Hermann

Pros: I love supporting local when I'm out of town and was really happy to have non-typical flavor choices and free samples are always great!

I understand if you're a small business you probably can't offer what the bigger places can so the bright yellow plastic bucket was not as fun as a tin but understandable.

Cons: The bucket was $51 (3.5 gal) which is steep in itself but not as big of a deal if a cardboard insert is placed into the bucket as a separator.
