You know those long lines snaking out of Garrett Popcorn, oh, every day of the week? They'll likely get even longer tomorrow when the addictive-like-crack popcorn chain doles out free snack-sized bags of their Caramel Crisp in honor of National Caramel Popcorn Day.

The freebie offer, running from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. tomorrow only, is doubly generous: In additional to the gratis caramel corn, Garrett Popcorn will also donate $1 to the Save the Children’s Japan Earthquake Tsunami Children in Emergency Fund for every bag handed out. For patrons looking to make an actual purchase, tomorrow also marks the last day of the company's Kernels For Kids fundraiser (with proceeds also going to Japan earthquake and tsunami relief efforts).
