Stove top is better, you can jazz it up with butter or pepper

You put pepper on popcorn? What's wrong with you?? Don't you know it's all about the salt??

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78608) 5 years ago

I like both salt and pepper
There is a lot wrong with me😄

reply

[–] GlenEllyn (21660) 5 years ago

But we love you anyway!

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78608) 5 years ago

Bring ALL the pity, I may require it😂

reply

[–] GlenEllyn (21660) 5 years ago

Oh, you! 😉 Pity? No. Sympathy? Maybe.

reply

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78608) 5 years ago

Oh c'mon now, sympathy is for boys that cry lol
It's all going to square itself, even if I have to kick the corners!

I like pepper on my popcorn...and I'll just keep chugging along, a dash of salt wouldn't hurt😗

Microwave.

reply

[–] GlenEllyn (21660) 5 years ago

Do you have a preferred brand?

reply

[–] actionkamen (23176) 5 years ago

Idk, I used some Panasonic models they are all right. Sharp and Samsung too. Never had any problem with my microwave ovens.

reply

[–] GlenEllyn (21660) 5 years ago

Oops. I meant the brand of popcorn.

reply

[–] actionkamen (23176) 5 years ago

Ah. Jolly Time is probably my favorite.

reply

[–] GlenEllyn (21660) 5 years ago

Orville Redenbacher for me.

reply

[–] actionkamen (23176) 5 years ago

Act II is fine too.

reply

[–] GlenEllyn (21660) 5 years ago

It's been awhile since I tried Act II. Maybe next time I'll give it a go.

reply

[–] nyctc7 (44116) 5 years ago

Loyal Redenbacher customer for years - but recently there was some Jolly Time on sale very cheap (kernels, not microwave bags) and it is really good and I doubt I could distinguish it from Redenbacher's.

Buy it at the cinema. Easier.

reply

[–] GlenEllyn (21660) 5 years ago

Well, I don't go to the cinema, so...

reply

[–] MovieManCin2 (26342) 5 years ago

Well then, that would be a problem.

😎

reply

[–] GlenEllyn (21660) 5 years ago

I gave up on the cinema decades ago. Rude audience members.

reply

[–] MovieManCin2 (26342) 5 years ago

Sadly, that IS still a problem.

😎

reply

[–] GlenEllyn (21660) 5 years ago

Yep, and this was long before cell phones. I couldn't take the constant chatter by others in the audience. I said "no more" and I didn't.

Happily, we have the option now of watching at home. Pausing for food/drink or bathroom breaks is fabulous!

reply

[–] sslssg (35199) 5 years ago

The pausing for pee breaks is mostly why I stay home. (well that and it's too expensive)

reply

[–] AndyKing1967 (39864) 5 years ago

What! How much does it cost to pee? Lol.

reply

[–] sslssg (35199) 5 years ago

When you are at a movie theatre, it depends on how much the movie is and how many times you have to pee. For me, it's too expensive.

reply

[–] AndyKing1967 (39864) 5 years ago

I was just joking around.

reply

[–] sslssg (35199) 5 years ago

I know....I guess I should have added an emoji so you knew that my response was a little bit of smart ass. 😉

reply

[–] AndyKing1967 (39864) 5 years ago

LOL

reply

[–] MovieManCin2 (26342) 5 years ago

LOL! I was gonna do that joke, but you beat me to it.

😎

reply

[–] AndyKing1967 (39864) 5 years ago

Great minds....

reply

[–] MovieManCin2 (26342) 5 years ago

Yes.

😎

reply

[–] MovieManCin2 (26342) 5 years ago

Yep!

[–] kspkap (13629) 5 years ago

Go to the matinees. Sometimes you’ll have the theater all by your lonesome! 😊

reply

[–] AndyKing1967 (39864) 5 years ago

I try to do this - bliss!

reply

[–] AmeriGirl26 (15121) 5 years ago

It's delicious at the theater, but a little bit too much butter. Plus, if you get that, you've gotta get something to drink with it, because of all the salt, and then you gotta worry about having to go to the bathroom during the movie, despite preparing before going in. It's a bit of a dilemma for me.

reply

[–] MovieManCin2 (26342) 5 years ago

I drink after the movie.

😎

reply

[–] AmeriGirl26 (15121) 5 years ago

I never learned how to make it the old-fashioned way. It's microwave all the way for me.

reply

[–] GlenEllyn (21660) 5 years ago

Yeah, it's a lot easier that way. You can pick your variety - plain, buttered, kettle corn, etc. It's so easy and quick.

reply

[–] [deleted] 5 years ago

I don't eat popcorn a lot but when I do, I microwave it.

reply

[–] Stratego (31085) 5 years ago

Microwave.

reply

[–] slimone (7996) 5 years ago

I can't eat popcorn. It messes up my intestines.

reply

[–] GlenEllyn (21660) 5 years ago

It's all that fiber, probably.

reply

[–] nyctc7 (44116) 5 years ago

I use this https://salbree.com/collections/salbree-microwave-popcorn-popper

It is super easy to use and works great

reply

[–] GlenEllyn (21660) 5 years ago

Do you use just regular popcorn with this? Seems like the best of both worlds.

reply

[–] nyctc7 (44116) 5 years ago

Yep.

Regular popcorn and you don't need oil like an air popper--but it's easier to use and easier to clean than an air popper.
