Pop On The Block — Local services in Stonington

I went to the Mystic location in the village. It’s very small, but it looked cute. However, their sign said “30” different flavors, but the “3” was changed to a “6” with marker for it to say 60 flavors. Regardless, there’s no way there were 60 flavors, or even 30 available in the store. I wanted classic butter and salt. The closest I found was a giant bag (I wanted a small) that said “almost naked” and had salt but no butter. Okay, fine, close enough. I grabbed the bag and some salt water taffy, waited in line and no one even looked at me.

The prices are a little on the higher side but it feels and tastes like a very homemade product and is a different experience than eating standard popcorn or...

Visited the store in Mistick Village. Staff person was a little pushy. We wanted to try other flavors. Every flavor should be available to try. We wanted to walk around the village a little longer before we fed our toddler popcorn and she said " we close in half an hour" we went back 5 minutes later with our now very excited three year old to get her cotton candy popcorn and they were CLOSED!! THANKS ALOT!! All she talked about was that popcorn. Plus, all the signage says the village closes at 6. This wasnt even 5 o'clock yet. Poor...
