Ok,
Step one: cook your popcorn in bacon grease
Step two: add butter and salt.
Step three: Die.

Ive never done any of these, but isnt everything just better with bacon? =)

I've got one of those stove top makers with the spinner on top. I cook in vegetable oil then top it with real butter, salt and a splash of lowerys. Not exactly a healthy snack.

I have the same deal - with the crank handle? I don't know what it's called. I sometimes prefer that, sometimes air popped.

Movie Theater Butter from Orville Reddenbacher (sp?) works in a pinch.

Oh man, popcorn in bacon grease? I think you might be onto something here. I know what I'll be doing this weekend!

I like all kinds of popcorn, but I usually eat the cheapest microwave popcorn I can find, bc I'm a broke college student who wants something really simple.

The movie theater in town here has a topping bar. They have like 5 different types of shakings to put on. Cheddar is ok, but Im more of a jalapeno, or garlic and salt type guy.

I have discovered caramel corn microwave popcorn. It is almost like my mom's homemade caramel corn! I can only find it at Hy-Vee in Ankeny, so it is not around everywhere. If you like homemade caramel corn, you will like it. If you like bagged caramel corn, you won't (Jeff doesn't like it).

I love popcorn! I need to make it more often. I like some white cheddar on it. I've gotta try the Jalepeno or buffalo sauce. I like spicy!

Not a fan of popcorn, I think its the texture. Hate having the little leftover crap in you mouth when your finished.

I have tried the stuff that's chocolate covered, and that's pretty good. although I'd probably try a crap sandwich if you dipped it in chocolate.

I honestly don't think I've eaten more than a handful of popcorn in 3 years.

I'm all for the WalMart brand microwave popcorn (whatever it is) with a ton of butter and then another ton of salt.


The stuff that comes 15 packs to a box for like $2.50? Yeah I'm all over that stuff :yes:
