Popcorn

Orville Redenbacher's Gourmet Microwavable Popcorn, Natural Simply Salted 50% Less Fat, 3-Count Boxes (Pack of 12)
$31.80
Good flavor. Close to stove-top or air-popped corn - unlike the usual microwave stuff. 14/17-year old sons like it and they were stove-top guys growing up.

OK, I do love popcorn, but I'm definitely not in the gourmet category. I'd been using a store brand white popcorn, but decided to try the "gourmet" variety to see what I had been missing. I still pop the old fashioned stove top way, so consider that when you read the rest of this review. I like the look of the various colors, the popcorn tastes quite good, is it better than my store version, I don't really think so. What surprised me was that when popped, it makes about 1/2 as much as the store bought, so I have to use at least twice as much to get the same amount of popped popcorn. So, all in all, I'm going back to the store brand and I'll save some money

I had watched Good Eats and Alton Brown had mentioned that there was not beating the taste of this type of popcorn....he was correct, while the popped corn is smaller it is packed with a lot more taste...


I read the reviews before I bought this product and I was concerned about how it would pop up. I haven't had any problems with the popcorn popping and I only have about 10 unpopped kernels in a whole batch and the side of my bowl isn't covered with kernel casings like it is with the stuff I get at the store. The cost is high and feeding 7 people popcorn for a snack I am not sure if we will use it much but I definitely like the taste much better... and the salts don't have coloring added like the store popcorn salt which I like... I give this product 2 thumbs up and would definitely buy again.

This popcorn is not what I expected. I have tried other brands with the same packaging where everything is measured for you, but this one was the worse so far. Kernels are half the size and so salty you can't eat it, once it is popped. I am going back to the other brand.
