As a consumer of large amounts of popcorn, I agree with you. I use to love the taste of great theater popcorn. It seems these days the taste is gone. I don’t like the after taste of some microwave popcorn. I prefer to make my popcorn at home using a hand crank popcorn popper. It makes popcorn the way the theaters use to. It’s a lot cheaper and you can make gourmet flavors with it too!

I loooooooooooooove popcorn, from healthy air-popped to the deadly movie stuff and everything in between.

My “go to” popcorn is Orville Redenbacher’s lowfat Kettle Korn. It’s not high in fat or calories but still gives enough salty/sweet to make it a treat. And it’s easy to just pop right in the microwave.

Still, nothing beats good old-fashioned homemade popcorn made in a big kettle with oil over the stove. Yum.

TDavid, when I was in college our residence hall had one of those industrial strength popcorn makers. There is a “special sauce” you use to get the movie theater flavor, it comes in big 1/2 gallon containers. I don’t remember exactly what it was called, but you poured it in the popper with the popcorn instead of oil…

Heck yeah! Kettle corn is delicious! Popcorn always tastes better at the theater. Probably all that unhealthy butter.

I can’t find the specific one, but there was a really cool Star Wars popcorn machine that I wanted in the worst way. Not the Darth Vader one, and the other ones I see currently aren’t it either..but they are all pricey…very pricey.

I’m a kettle corn guy….though the more health conscious I get, I keep less of the fun stuff around.
