It is where I live. It's just really hard to find. Once while I was at the grocery store, I found it but I had to literally scour the back shelves just to find it lmao and there were only like 2 left. Not to mention that this was at a regional grocery store and not a local one where you wouldn't find it at all. So yeah its around, it's just hard to find.
You could always do something dumb (like me) and buy it off amazon for twice it's retail price.
at this point I would just prefer to get raw popcorn and cook it in my own skillet. I can add my own toppings, I can control the oil/butter more to my liking.
We (my ex-g/f and I) only make it on the stove. We don't have a microwave. I'm so used to doing that eating bagged microwave popcorn is only something I do for fun at my mom's house. Actually, I might have some now since I'm here. It's much better buying the kernels and putting nutritional yeast and oregano on top. The only problem is paying attention to the pot on the stovetop and not burning the popcorn.
Think I saw some in the grocery store recently. Does it taste any different from microwave? I've made popcorn in a regular covered pot with oil before. Usually get microwave though.
I was interested in trying kettle corn that has real sugar in it, and not artificial sweetener. Apparently, sugar burns in the microwave so microwave kettle corn is always sucralose.
we have that at our local grocery store, but it always turns out a lot less fresh than i remember.
if you don't like making microwave popcorn, melt a stick of butter, put it in a pan with a lid on the oven eye with some kernels. you can buy them by the jar. start shaking the pot so that it doesn't stay still on the eye and burn the kernels. leave it on for a minute or two and BAM popcorn that's better than cinema popcorn.
Turned out I burned some of the bottom popcorn. I kept it moving the whole time so maybe I had the burner too high or I cooked it too long. Don't think I've burnt it when using a pot, but years have passed since then.
I bought some not too long ago. I LOVE making this. When the checkout lady noticed it, we talked about the good old days (I had an air popper for many years).
What's dumb is they still make air poppers but they're not the slightest bit better than the air popper you could buy in the 80s. If anything they're lower quality. You'd think by now you'd be able to buy a nice one for cheap but no. The current model of whichever one is the best seller still looks just like it did 30 years ago.
One thing that always bugged me about mine was it was top heavy. The base was a bit wider but it had no real weight to it because it was hollow plastic. That persists just like Mr Anderson.
I saw some the other day at some random corner store. Wonder how many decades it's been sitting there lol.
