Where do you stand on POPCORN?
I make mine in a pot on the stovetop. I use olive oil. How about you?

1. In the kitchen.
It's the only place I make it when pieces fall on the floor.

4. I bought it at movies
and liked making it in a pot on the stop and even liked jiffy pop. But it upsets my stomach now, so sometimes I buy it pre-popped in bags so I can have a couple thingys at a time.

32. Thank you! Nothing destroys a movie experience more than the
slackjawed illiterate troglodyte swine filth who think that chewing with the mouth open is acceptable, appropriate, or even human.

18. OK, I'll fess up... I mark for movie popcorn with the fake butter oil and
salt.

Sheer decadence, buttered popcorn with a Kit-Kat chaser. Makes waiting for the lights to dim so sublime.

22. My friend worked at a theater her in Cincy. He said that the popcorn
machine was just for show.

The actual popcorn was stored in huge trash bags in the back.

They also had a problem with mice. . .

Excellent because you don't get all those hulls caught in your teeth.

43. Flavor. It's gotta be flavor.
And, Doritos dipped in Salsa are just Heaven on Earth. I love that. Also, Fritos in vegetable soup are great.

31. OMG I lOVE popcorn.
Use a very old stainless steel pan that used to belong to my Mom, and definitely on the stove with lots, and lots of REAL butter. I'm salivating right now!

33. I'm a popcorn addict...
I make it with olive oil and a sprinkling of salt, using one of these:



Works great, about $30, leaves few kernels unpopped, and rarely burns anything.

35. When I have time, I make mine on the stop top too
I use canola oil, and when I melt the butter, I add some tabasco in it, for a spicy kick.
