Seriously. Popcorn is amazing. Movie popcorn is by far the greatest thing ever invented. That liquid butter is liquid fucking gold. How about caramel popcorn? How about that super sweet glazed popcorn? That stuff is amazing.

How about that cheese popcorn? That shit is disgusting.

Actually, I think the movie theater popcorn w/the liquid "butter" is pretty fucking disgusting.


Real popcorn, popped with a little oil & seasoned just with some good kosher salt, is great.

I'm not a big fan of the pop it yourself popcorn and that other nasty solid butter in those packets they use is fucking disgusting. Nothing beats a popcorn popping machine. A microwave can never match it.

Smartfood's White Cheddar Popcorn is very good so I don't know why you hate cheese popcorn. Then some company makes hot popcorn, I think it might be Wise.

Popcorn is probably my favorite snack. I like it salty. Buttery or not doesn't matter too much to me, but it has to be salty. I don't really like the sweet stuff that much.

And movie theatre popcorn is great, because even though they give you a ton, if you don't finish it, you can eat it later or even the next day and it still tastes fantastic.

I cannot go to the theatres to see a movie and not order me some popcorn. I really believe that throw subliminal messages out there on the screen to make us purchase concessions. How else can I explain the brain train?

Do you guys remember those sweet balls of popcorn you used to get when you were in elementary/middle school? Those big, baseball sized popcorn balls? Usually you got them around the holidays like Halloween and Thanksgiving?

I guess this would be the wrong thread to mention that I dislike popcorn.

Well, anyways, I dislike popcorn...

Something about the taste of it I just never really liked. I mean don't get me wrong, it smells great in movie theaters and such, but I absolutely hate the smell of microwaved kind. It's absolutely disgusting. I'm only talking about buttered popcorn though; I do enjoy the carmel kind on occasion.

I am the same way about coffee. I absolutely fucking love the smell of coffee beans, but coffee tastes fucking disgusting.

I don't like getting popcorn at theaters for the sole reason being that when you ask for "butter" on it, they're the ultimate Jews and only put on enough to coat the top and nowhere near enough to cover all the popcorn in the bag. So you end up having this really nice tasting top part and the beneath layers being all dry and butterless. :(

Movie popcorn is pretty good stuff, but I can never eat a whole bad of it. After about 1/3 a bag I get tired of it.

Awesome thread! Seriously, I am a real popcorn aficionado. One of the main reasons I go to see movies is to get that buttered type. At home, at friend's places and at all possible locations and times I'm always given the popping task.

Lately the quantities have been quite high. It's interesting to note how differently different amounts of popcorn will behave. In big, big sauce pots it's way too easy to make the popcorns too dry.

I guess I should build myself a cinema-style popcorn machine. The construction is not too complicated, but it should be worth it.

As for cheese popcorns (be it cheddar or another kind) I don't really love them. The temptation fades way too quickly.

Microwaved popcorn are disgusting, or at least so disappointing that they're not worth my time. Seriously, if I'm doing popcorns I can at least give it 20 minutes instead of having that abomination. Since this realization I've pretty much boycotted them, though that boycott is not as expressed as the one my hatred for McDonald's has induced.

Spicy sauces can detract too much from the feeling that is popcorn, though I don't mind eating one that stands out every now and then. It's hardly for even half of the bowl though.

My only qualm with popcorn is the fact that it always finds itself lodged in my throat and or gums. Quite an irritating expirience which in turn has lead to several small childrens many a busted skulls in my hayday.

I guess I'm just an amateur popcorn consumer. Pity,I must say I do wish I could shovel it down the hatch as some of you folks are able.

I had the same problem, except the popcorn would get lodged in my throat / tonsils and make me cough. Had my tonsils removed, though, and now I can devour popcorn with the best of them.

I love the stuff, but I don't like movie popcorn - I guess it depends on the theater you go to, but it's been a long time since I've had movie popcorn that wasn't days old and cold.

I don't like popcorn either, of any type. To me there never seems to be enough flavor. I don't go to the movies very often to begin with.

Although the notion of food that is cooked by making it explode is indeed attractive :D

Bad experience with movie theater popcorn once...

Other than that, I suppose it's alright. I'm fond of the Halloween popcorn that is stuffed into plastic hands or made into balls - it's good shit.

Back heathens! Take your popcorn hatred and chip loving else where, this is a holy bastion of power for popcorn lovers to unite and spread the warmth of the kernel in.

I personally cannot go to a movie without buying popcorn, that liquid butter you can just pour on in droves yourself is amazing. I also always keep a stash of the mini pop personal bags around the house which I pretty much always have to have when I watch a movie.

^haha Nice.
Personally, I love chips more of course, but I cannot stand popcorn.
I used to LOVE popcorn. Though, due to constant dates [with nothing in the bag, if you know what I mean...] at the movies and buying a large layered butter popcorn everytime, I eventually got sick of them.

Don't get me wrong, popcorn is amazing, but I can't take anymore popcorn than I have already had in my day. And note that I'm only 15, thats many a years and moments wasted without popcorn...


I think I'ma ruin my appetite just thinking of that liquidy buttered popcorn already...

Hippocrites! This is not a goddamn butter-whoring salt-orgy!

We need some more people with balls of airpopped goodness to tell you faggots that the only real popcorn is the lightly buttered. You sick fucks are drowning my poor little white clouds of awesome with your yellow pus and sodium BILE.

Give me not a bag full of butter, but take perfection to a whole new level and serve me decadent POPCORN.


Seriously though, too much butter sucks dick.

Forget that, when they hand me the bag of popcorn at the movies I slowly turn my head to the butter machine and I swear I can hear trumpets blast and a heavenly chorus shout my praise amongst the unwashed who piddle about buying crunch bars and goobers.

As the yellow river flows the white balls of heaven swim about in hedonistic pleasure as I prepare them for the ritual.

You betray the corn and deny it salvation by ignoring the sacred yellow nectar!

That sounds ridiculously delicious.

Popcorn is scrumptious, but too much butter (especially the kind at the movies) makes it kind of sickening after a few bites. The smart thing to do is to buy some really good butter flavored salt. Best of both worlds.

Yes, yes they are. There's a certain analogy in the cooking of puffed grains, though popcorn stand out in its violent development and quality of taste.

Has anyone ever tried deep fried popcorn? I think it would taste amazingly good. Maybe I'll try it one day when I'm really baked so it tastes better.

Well my personal favourite is the sharper kind of Sourcream & Onion taste. I'm not sure I would like them to be much more sour than that though.
