It's not the first time. Must be quite profitable as popcorn costs very little, yet they can sell it for so much.

I ordered some several months ago, the lower salt version, I must admit it was good, and most of the kernels popped, but here several months later I still have bags left and that was after sharing some with a friend of mine in TN, for us it was just not a good value, I have not looked at the TSV at the price as i have no interest in ordering again, but for those that eat popcorn on a regular basis, it is flavorful and the hype about virtually hull less popcorn did ring true!

@MoJoV-

I thought the same thing!

And for so much.

My daughter taught me a great way to make it (we used to make it in the pot with oil and shake it around-always a mess)

You take a brown paper lunch bag and cover the bottom (lightly) with unpopped pop corn.

Roll down the top of the bag a few times and put in microwave for about 1-2 minutes.(you can also double bag it so it doesn't tear).

It takes some experimenting to get it just right. You want to not hear hardly any pops but also don't want it to burn. I wait until I hear just 2-3 pops.

The other good thing about this is no harmful chemicals or worry about those bags (that most have taken off the market I thought).

Cost is probably not even 25 cents for a huge bowl

@wishmoon I think you have lots of company! I skipped this because I'm working seriously on controlling snacks this year, but a few minutes after midlight last night, David already announced nearly 1000 sales.

I haven't watched since, but I bet there will be thousands more - I'll check tonight.

DH is a popcorn fanatic and his (and my) new favorite is from Trader Joes of course. The biggest, prettiest and best tasting popcorn ever! I could eat the whole darn bag all by my lonesome (if I could wrangle it out of DH's hands). We tried all their varities and this one won. Must be those herbs and spices.

I love popcorn but it gets stuck in my teeth.

I do like that it is hull less. I bought it and was very pleased. Not to have to deal with hulls and so many of the kernels pop.

But unfortunately the Boy Scouts sell popcorn. And at work we have several parents of Boy Scouts. SO you have to buy from each scout so you don't show favoritism. Then you end up with boxes of popcorn. I just found another box as I was cleaning up at Christmas.

Not sure if I will order any of the TSV with all the popcorn I do have.

I ordered this popcorn last last Fall. It was so salty that I called and got a refund! No one in family could eat it! Threw the rest of the bags out....

I used to eat popcorn all the time. Since pretty much all the corn in the US in genetically modified I will do without unless it's NON-GMO.

LOL. $35 for popcorn? Can't believe anyone would fall for this!

You’re right. Most of it is genetically modified and that is the first thing I look for which is Non GMO. I bought some at Whole Foods and it wasn’t great.

Who paid 35 dollars for this? I sure didn't I had no tax and no shipping charges.

Wasn't there a big "to do" years ago about how microwave popcorn is bad for you, because of the lining in the bags and the palm oil they were using? Did they ever fix this?

LOL Microwave Popcorn??!

DMHSLIB — Wed, 10 Jan 2018 22:09:09 GMT

Just a few weeks ago the hosts were yapping about how unhealthy microwave popcorn was, you should never eat it- all those chemicals, etc.! That was when they were selling Farmer John's unpopped corn in a jar. Today they have to talk out of the other side of their mouths! Funny, but pitiable too. But that's the job when you work for QVC, you sell what ever they give you.

Thanks. I stand corrected. I'm so used to overpriced shipping. It's still extremely expensive.
