if you store the bagsof unpopped popcorn in the freezer, they will stay fresher longer and pop beter whe you do pop them. they won't have as many hulls or unpopped kearnals

@shortbreadlover - I'm sorry to share that this is an old wives' tale; storing popcorn in the refrigerator or freezer does nothing to sustain freshness and will actually result in more unpopped kernels because cold temperatures negatively affect the water content of the popcorn, making the kernels too dry and unable to fully pop.

But I wish you happy popping!
