I avoid actual bagged microwave popcorn because it's linked to -alot- of health risks and just tastes like salt to me. Even though I can get higher grade then normal microwave popcorn.
If you got a stove, you can use a whirley pop, you just gotta man it whilst it goes. Thats why I got a countertop oil popper..that and glass stoves can sort of break under high heat, which I used for the whirley pop.
Any one here ever heard of Popcorn Salad? This is a real thing, popcorn base for salad.
I agree---I never found a Microwave "Bag" popcorn that I liked.
