what popcorn you buy

August 7, 2008 8:53am CST
what type of popcorn you like/buy.. microwave, making on the stove, ready made in packets, cinema.. i like buying the microwave popcorn.. its fun to hear it popping and its nice when warm.. Used to enjoy making it on stove, with little butter, not forgetting to put the lid on unless you want kitchen covered in popcorn as it pops.. would look cool hehe.. Makes me think of a machine gun when it all starts popping, its half the fun compared to ready made :)) but think since microwaves, people don't make it the old fashioned way anymore..

I only eat microwaved popcorn. It's a lot less messy than heating it on the stove because it's all contained in a bag. And, I usually get butter-flavored popcorn, and the more butter flavor the better. I am heavily into organics, and so I get certified-organic microwave popcorn. I don't want any artificial flavors or preservatives in my popcorn.

microwave is nice :) i like salted and sweet, but not bothered about if organic or not.. Do you think cinema popcorn is organic.. unlikely thanks for response

It is only organic if it bears the USDA Certified-Organic label. Otherwise it is not organic.

there is much organic in our supermarkets now.. but i never bother or rarely because its much more expensive.. i feel some of it is gimic and getting stupid, just to make more money out of us.. At one time it was mostly ONLY vegetables and fruit, but now there is more and more and more products that are saying organic lool

Yes; microwave popcorn for the same reasons; less of a mess. I remember when I was younger we had one of those air popcorn poppers that was fun to watch. And don't forget the jiffy pop;standing in front of the stove waiting for the top to open up.

I saw a lady use an air popper one time, so I think that someone still makes them. Some of the popcorn was landing outside of the bowl. It can be a bit messy.

hehe but messy is fun i think.. anyway its not really messy, as long as keep the lid on and not over fill.. although that happened to me and gradually the lid was rising higher and higher all good fun

I ate popcorn less,but i still remember the method of popcorn making,in my country there is special method to make popcorn,two kinds of popcorn,one is made by rice,two is made by maize.A container was full of rice or maize was baked on fire,the container always roll for equality warming,for a long time,the container was opened with a sound-'bomb!',it's so loudly,then you will smell the attractive taste,maybe you had not heard before,it's a antiquated way.
