Let’s be honest—half the fun of vacation is the snacks. And when you bring Opopop along, you’re not just snacking, you’re flavor-traveling. Here are five of our most crave-worthy flavors, paired with five unforgettable (and delightfully offbeat) places to eat them.
Pack snacks, not stress.
Summer vacation is a state of mind—and this year, we wanted ours to be anything but ordinary. Forget the overcrowded beaches and tourist traps. We were craving something unexpected. So we did what any popcorn-obsessed travel dreamers would do: we let our flavors guide the way.
Each Opopop flavor sparked the idea for a destination that felt just as bold, cozy, or delightfully weird. The result? A lineup of summer getaways that are a little off the path, a lot more memorable, and perfect for throwing a bag of popcorn in your tote and seeing where the day takes you.
Here are five unforgettable places to visit—each paired with the Opopop flavor that inspired it. Let your tastebuds book the trip.
1. Spicy Pickle in Marfa, Texas: Tiny town. Huge vibes.
Marfa is the high-desert art mecca you didn’t know you needed—home to mysterious desert lights, minimalist art installations, and tumbleweed-chic galleries.
Flavor match: Spicy Pickle
It’s bold. It’s weird. It’s absolutely what you want to be eating while pondering a Donald Judd sculpture under a blazing West Texas sunset.
Do this: See the Prada Marfa installation and pretend you’re shopping, then chase tumbleweeds for cardio.
2. Cinnalicious in Takayama, Japan: Old town charm + hot spring dreams
Nestled in the Japanese Alps, Takayama is like a living postcard—with Edo-period architecture, morning markets, and cozy onsen (hot springs).
Flavor match: Cinnalicious
Sweet, warm, and comfort-filled, just like strolling the ancient streets in your yukata robe after a long soak.
Do this: Visit the Hida Folk Village and time travel to 1600s Japan (yes, with popcorn in hand).
3. Fancy Butter in Ceredigion, Wales: Sheep, sea, and serenity
This lesser-known coastal stretch in Wales is pure magic. Think dramatic cliffs, sandy coves, and enough fresh air to turn your phone into airplane mode permanently.
Flavor match: Fancy Butter
Classic, rich, and goes with everything—including watching the waves roll in while swaddled in a blanket.
Do this: Walk the Wales Coast Path, spot dolphins, then head to a local pub and try not to bring up how good your popcorn is.
4. Salty Caramel in Isla Holbox, Mexico: No cars, just calm
This tiny island off the Yucatán is all about chill: think barefoot beach bars, flamingos, and late-night bioluminescent swims.
Flavor match: Salty Caramel
Sweet and salty, like a perfect vacation romance (except this one won’t ghost you).
Do this: Rent a golf cart, explore the island, then eat your Opopop under a palm tree like the fabulous beach goblin you are.
5. Maui Heat in Ithaca, New York: Spice meets waterfalls
Ithaca is more than just a college town—it's got over 150 waterfalls, incredible vegan food, and a hippie vibe that says "we compost everything, including your stress."
Flavor match: Maui Heat
Tropical with a kick—ideal for lakeside picnics, farmer's markets, or debating who invented granola (probably someone in Ithaca).
Do this: Hike the gorge trails, jump into a waterfall, then curl up and snack like you’re on an organic Airbnb retreat.
Wherever you wander, take us with you.
Opopop fits in your carry-on and pairs well with hammocks, train rides, and “accidentally” booking a trip just for the snacks.
