I call it "light & fluffy". And I stand by that!!!

Overheard at Genesia's childhood home...

Daddy, I don't like this popcorn. The salt won't stick to it!

Yeah I do recall that problem...but hey, salt's bad for you, no?

Actually...no, it isn't. Without salt, you would die.

Some people have medical conditions that can be aggravated by too much salt, but it isn't a problem for most people.

Stop bursting my bubble or I will turn this into a sex thread.

You're hot.

I bought that nutritional yeast, I figure I can only eat so much and at my age I need the biggest bang for my buck nutrition wise, and this stuff is packed with vitamin Bs. Anyway, I like it okay, it is cheesy somewhat but not quite. My son says it taste like vitamins, but it isn't for him so I don't care about him liking it. We'll see long term.

I used to have one of these growing up;

It was great.

We had one, too - and tossed it. Nobody in our family wanted to eat packing material - which is about all air-popped popcorn is good for.

I threw ours out too. I think it makes the popcorn taste stale as hell.

It's all the same to me.

The one thing I have noticed is that depending on the brand and the freshness of the package you will wind up with more or fewer unpopped kernels.

The key to getting more kernels popped is bend the popcorn bag to sort of break up the solidiness of the kernels then pop the bag as normal-you will find more are popped.

^^I agree. Now, back on topic-Genesia you are hot.

Semi-popped kernels are the best part of popcorn.

First, I would like to say that my BN Nook is better than Genesia's Kindle.

Finally, I agree with everything Genesia has posted on this thread. Just make your own using a saucepan. Add what you want to it---butter and salt are really all you need to add, but there are homemade seasoning recipes all throughout the Internet.

Oh, and you don't have that much more prep time in making your own popcorn.

I LOVE Orville Redenbacher's! In fact, that's the only kind I get.

I hate popcorn outta those air poppers. It's dry and disgusting and there ain't enough butter or salt to make that shit taste good

And I don't have time for that on-the-stove mess. I used to do it that way waaaay back in the day and it's a pain.
