The other night I got a craving for some popcorn, not the microwaved kind but
the old fashioned kind that's popped in oil on the stove or in a popcorn
popper. So I got out the popcorn popper from the back of the closet and made a
batch. Boy, there is no comparison between old fashioned and microwave
popcorn. I could actually taste the popcorn. With microwave popcorn all I
taste is salty artificial butter flavoring. I wonder how many younger people
have never tasted real homemade popcorn. I'm 39 by the way.

Thanks - now *I* have a craving for popcorn <g>!
I have found that the problem with MW popcorn is not the MW but the popcorn.
I regularly pop loose popcorn (Orville's) in a special MW corn popper and
add salt, butter later. It's just fine. I think the chemicals and processing
make those prepackaged "MW popcorn" pouches taste bad.

Paul Newman's Organic - No Butter/No Salt 94% Fat Free is my favorite MW
popcorn.You might want to try it.

No butter yet 6% fat - just what *is* that fat?

Mine came with my wife! It's very simple, just a heavy plastic bowl with a
vented lid. I bet you could rig one up by placing a plastic collander
(inverted of course) over a glass bowl. I just put 1/4c of kernels in, no
oil, and pop. Add butter, salt later.

Orville Redinbacher (sp?) makes one. Mine came from Wal-Mart or
someplace similar.
The original poster is right -- nothing beats real popcorn with real
butter.

They're probably referring to the Presto PowerPop:

Never mind the real thing in popcorn. How about caramel corn. It takes only a few
minutes to melt some butter and brown sugar to make something that is way better
than Crackerjacks.

Sounds good.
I've tried to do the kettle corn thing to no avail. Oh man, now I'm
craving kettle corn. Rats.

I've never had luck doing it that way - and I use good
popcorn - so I buy the bags. I like MW popcorn, but I can
make it on the stove too.
