šŸæ Itā€™s that time of year where you see those huge decorative tins of popcorn, and inside thereā€™s usually a selection of three different types.

Usually the tins are pretty, the popcorn a little flat.

So the popcorn survey.

Do you like popcorn? What kind? šŸæ

I have no idea how to put in a survey. šŸ¤­

So the choices will be:

Plain
Butter
Kettle
Salt and pepper
Cheese
Or Caramel
or custom flavor youā€™d like to suggest.
 
Vote for all the flavors you like
  • Plain
  • Butter
  • Kettle
  • Salt and pepper
  • Cheese

  • Other
  • I donā€™t like popcorn

Shakes tin to mix it up.
Delicious.

Iā€™m either a hero or a terrible agent of chaos for this depending on who you ask.

You make quality threads and I thank you for it!
Iā€™m glad you made me think of popcorn this early in the day. I lost and then found again some prepackaged popcorn balls I bought for Halloween. Iā€™m definitely bringing them to the moms and kids rosary today. Popcorn in the mouths that arenā€™t praying may improve the atmosphere or atleast slow down the inevitable stroller derby.
 
Icing sugar, or salted caramel or salted popcorn with m&ms I love pop corn
 
Crap! I forgot to vote for cheese. I completely forgot about white cheddar popcorn.
 
Plain popcorn is already awesome, but I have not yet put anything on popcorn that I didnā€™t like. Salt, sugar, herbes de Provence, Tabasco, caramel, miso, rainbow sprinkles, chopped nuts, fried onions, pimentĆ³nā€¦itā€™s all good. Just not all at once šŸ˜€

I like several kinds, but plain old buttered popcorn with lots of butter and maybe a little salt will always be the best for me.
I hate it when I go to the movies and they donā€™t have the add-your-own-butter machine. I know thatā€™s fake butter but if Iā€™m going to pay 10 dollars for a popcorn then by gum Iā€™mma gonna drown it, several times, during the film.
I only go to the movies maybe 1-2 times a year so itā€™s not a health hazard. I do have to remember to take a plastic supermarket bag to put the popcorn in because otherwise the fake butter bleeds through onto my clothes.
 
I love popcorn too, and I especially love whatā€™s called the ā€œChicago Mix,ā€ which usually has Buttered, Caramel, and then Cheddar Cheese flavors all mixed into one mix. That is such a yummy mix!

One of my favorite flavors is Cheddar-flavored popcorn. I like White Cheddar too, but Cheddar-flavored is my ultimate favorite.

I also like the gourmet mixes that you tend to find at this time of year, that mix popcorn with white chocolate and dark chocolate drizzles, and other flavors.

Harry & David makes something called ā€œMoose Munch.ā€ I like mixes like that. šŸ˜€
 
I do! Stove top with olive oil and sea salt. Itā€™s perfect for reading posts on CAF.
 
Popcorn is a traditional family favorite.

I learned to pop corn in a pan on the stove ā€“ WITH A LID! šŸ˜± ā€“ with hot oil and then add salt maybe a little Parmesan cheese.

Sometimes we had Jiffy Pop, though it was seen as an extravagant waste of money.

Then it was air poppers and microwaves!

Iā€™m not sure I could pop corn on a stove these days, and the air popper has long since met its demise.

Thank God for microwave popcorn! šŸ˜„ šŸæ
 
Some of my family loves to put Parmesan on their popcorn. I do, sometimes. (I also donā€™t eat microwave popcorn often, just buy a bag of kernels and pop it on the stove)

Jiffy Pop
Click to expand...
I was allowed to get this as a kid only once or twice. I totally wanted it because I was anxious to see the tinfoil expand (I had this thing about watching mechanical stuff operate, of course I ended up an engineer). As you noted it was way expensive and my mom was on a tight budget for food.

I was allowed to get it the first time as a special treat to have while watching some Christmas special on TV when I was like 7. I think it was Rudolph. With great excitement I prepared the Jiffy Pop tin and shook it over the stove. I donā€™t know whether our stove was weird or I wasnā€™t doing it right or what but it sure took a lot longer than a ā€œjiffyā€. My arm was very tired from shaking the pan by the time the foil actually expanded and the stuff actually popped. I wasnā€™t so anxious to have it again after that.
