I buy the bags of Pop-Rite kernels, and pop on my stovetop in hot oil in an old, heavy lidded pot. I like light butter only, no salt.

I do not like popcorn.......but I have to admit...it smells so good when popping...

I love it....but I have two crowns because of popcorn....so I decided it was too expensive to eat anymore

I have a Whirly Pop and love it - far healthier (and less calories) than the microwave junk. I use non-GMO popcorn, coconut oil, and have all kinds of flavorings to shake on it, like Nacho Cheese, White Cheddar, and Chocolate Marshmallow.

McDonald French fry cracked my and my sister's teeth. True story. Hers first I laughed my a*s off at her "a French fry"????????? LOL Then, a month later, happened to me wahhhhh.

My husband went wahhhhhhhhhh when it cost 1,000 to crown it. Insur. paid half. No peanut brittle for me either, eat only soggy fries LOL

One other thing if you're trying to keep your popcorn "lite" is to try different types of corn. For example, I love blue popcorn! My brother's fav is the red, my second favorite. World Market often sells a tube of popcorn with three of four different kinds of corn, such as blue, red, white, and yellow. I try to get it each year for myself and my brother as we've gifted them and previous shapes for years now. They have each color separated and it looks real neat. Amazon has different popcorn sellers as well, such as Amish sellers and others. I have yet to try buying seeds through Amazon, but definitely would like to do so. Each kind has it's own flavor, at least in my opinion.

Welcome to the world of popcorn! I love it so much I have to do my best to NOT eat it all the time! I still need a Whirly Pop, though I've gifted it a few times. Aside of salt and some butter or plain from the microwave, I like garlic salt or parm cheese on my popcorn.

That Whirly-Pop...will turn you into an addict. So delicious. Forget microwave popcorn. It is so 80's. Whirly-Pop is so retro. And movie theater. I'm thinking about giving some for presents this year.

I make popcorn in a regular saucepot, same method though as the o/p. Only I wouldn't use olive oil, as it is not made for high heat. I would use a high heat oil. I think.coconut is one. I use Bob's Red Mill Popping Corn.

I love my Whirly Pop. Used to be a devotee of Jiffy Pop except it is expensive and when I realized it still has a fair amount of trans fat I can't justify it except a couple times a year. And honestly I can make an entire batch in the Whirly Pop in the time it takes to cook a smaller Jiffy Pop.

Someone gave me a shaker of <em>dill-pickle flavored salt</em> and it does add a certain something to the popcorn. Mostly I just use the Jolly Time butter-flavored seasoning or Morton's fine-ground salt and some melted Land O'Lakes butter.

What brand.....where do you buy it..........PLEASE......Tell me more.....

LOL, I am not home right now so don't recall the brand but here's one, there seem to be several available online. Enjoy

French Fry poster: go back to non-soggy fries because what probably happened was that you and your sister had an already-weakened tooth that was ready to ""crack"" and the poor French fry took the blame. Had something similar happen to me...
