slo’s WEDNESDAY 12/6 poll - Popcorn 🍿

[RedAngie]

I have a hot air popper at home. I rarely melt butter for it. Sometimes I sprinkle a “popcorn spice blend” on top or else eat it plain.

I think I will go with love popcorn. I don't have it often. A few bags a year at home, microwave. Years ago used to do it on the stove, peanut oil and kernels. For the very few times I go to the movies, probably less than once a year, .I do succumb to the ingrained allure of theater popcorn. And as said, hard to top Garrett's Chicago.

We have a popcorn maker and also always have microwave popcorn available in the house(Pop secret homestyle is our go to)
Movie theater popcorn is always a must(I buy goobers to mix in with mine)
Love popcorn

 

[AppleDumpling]

I love popcorn and eat it at home frequently. Usually the microwave bags, light butter or natural. Rarely go to movie theaters anymore, and hardly ever buy popcorn there; only when I took DS as a kid. I do not care for any sweet varieties, such as caramel corn or kettle corn.

 

[Micca]

Well I'm clearly in the minority here--I don't like popcorn and I don't eat it. I have eaten it many times, then I just decided it does nothing for me, and I don't like the hulls getting stuck in my teeth.

I like popcorn, and occasionally make it at home. What I really love are the hot buttered popcorn Jelly Belly jelly beans. They are my favorite flavor, although the caramel corn jelly bean is also good.

I could easily go through two buckets in a movie.

My favorite is Lesser Evil HIMALAYAN PINK SALT. It is popped in coconut oil which seems to make all the difference in taste. I have not found any others that I like as much. I wish they would come out with a microwave version that I could pop at home, but have not seen any.

I like popcorn, but hate the hulls. Some popcorn seems to have lots of hulls. DH pops it at home more than I do. I love popcorn at the movies though, but with not very many good movies coming out anymore (or at least ones that old people like) we rarely see a movie at the theater. We did recently discover a very old theater in a nearby town though, showing movies for 75 years now and family owned. We go there when a good movie is shown. We can get our tickets, a jumbo container of buttered popcorn, a medium buttered popcorn and large drink for less than a 20 dollar bill. Unheard of in most places.

I like popcorn but only eat it once in awhile.

Same here.

 

[CGB]

We like popcorn! I bought this popper and it's great! I love popping a big bowl and making caramel corn with it.

I like popcorn. Hate the hulls. I will make microwave popcorn at times. I prefer theater popcorn. I also like hull-less popcorn that you can get in the store. Utz makes a great one and the texture is like actual popcorn, unlike others that is more like cheese puffs.

 

[snowwite]

I use my air popper and sprinkle it with Trader Joe’s Everything but the Elote. Yummy!

That looks like the one we have. Is it Dash?

 

[jalapeno_pretzel]

I like it and we'll occasionally get a bag pre-popped from the store. One of my kids hates it and especially hates the smell, so we don't pop it at home. We don't really go out to the movies, but even back when we did, we almost never got popcorn.

 

[CGB]

Yes! We used to have a hot-air popper, but we like this one better.

 

[BlueStarryHat]

I pop it at home in the microwave when I get a craving for 'regular' popcorn.

However, my Kryptonite is caramel popcorn, especially Johnson's in the big container. It has just enough salt added to the caramel to make it interesting.

I read somewhere that Carnies mix popcorn and cotton candy. Sounds delicious.

 

[ronandannette]

Is this the same as “your” Chicago Blend?

Pretty much, except the cheese corn part is orange.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

Popcorn is OK. I don't ever get it at the movies or pop it at home. Every now and then I will get some of that cheese flavored popcorn that's already popped/bagged. That stuff is pretty good.
