Who better to introduce us to the world’s cheesiest popcorn than America’s heartthrob and actor Jesse Metcalfe? Metcalfe is celebrating his love of “Reel Cheez” by sharing why cheesy movies are his favorite genre and how Cheez-It Loaded Popcorn completes any movie night setup.
“There’s nothing quite like the feeling you get while watching a cheesy movie,” said Jesse Metcalfe. “With makeover montages, seemingly-unplanned-choreographed dance numbers and, of course, the promise of true love and a ‘happily ever after,’ the genre never disappoints. From pulling at my heartstrings to delighting my tastebuds, Cheez-It Loaded Popcorn is the perfect pairing for your next at-home movie screening.”
