Snap. Crackle. Pop!
Flavor Name: Gourmet Yellow (8 lb)
Some things can't be put in words. Let me tell you what happened to me, as best I can. Like most people leaving a comment, I slammed my money down to buy this eight pound jar of popcorn. At the same time, I bought the best snack sized microwave popcorn popper from Amazon, but it will arrive in two da
ys. This popcorn got the best of me. A three quart pot with a lid came to my rescue. A cap or two of vegetable oil covered the bottom of my pot. As I was taught, I turned the heat on my burner up high, and placed three popcorn kernels in the pot, in the oil. I waited for one or two kernels to pop, and added the rest of a portion of kernels. Then, I closed the lid, and slid the pot all around to complete the popping, and to stop any kind of burning. The popping started after a minute or two. Once all of the popcorn starts popping, my experience is that the popping will slow down. Be warned. All of the kernels pop at once. The popping does not slow down. After the popping stops, take your pot of popcorn and get it off the burner. My first batch did have a few black flakes on it, but I couldn't taste it. I mixed in a little salt. Butter was sliced, bound for a cup, towards the microwave. 30 seconds until it was ready to drizzle. I read, lately, that honey is great on popcorn, but I haven't tried it. While I was eating this Heavenly Treat, I noticed that the kernels are small. Each uncooked kernel is small too. Just an observation. This popcorn is fantastic. What do they say? Gourmet!!! And, it is! My microwave popcorn popper from Amazon will arrive in two days. This is a joke. Only a joke. I am not being serious. Everyone is concerned about safety these days. Especially, in a home. It is important to keep fresh batteries in smoke detectors. I have a carbon monoxide detector in my apartment. To improve safety, buy several "Jiffy Pop" aluminum expanding as if you cook on the stove top. Hammer a nail on your wall, and hang your "Jiffy Pop." If there is "Fire," you and your family will be covered. This is called a "Fire Detector." If there is a fire, you may be showered with popcorn. This is a joke. Satire, or something. Just trying make you smile. "Jiffy Pop" will not help you from fire! Snap. Crackle!. Pop!

Great popcorn but be careful of pricing
Flavor Name: Gourmet Yellow (8 lb)
Orville Redenbacher's Gourmet Popcorn Kernels, Original Yellow, 8 lb--I can't say enough about this popcorn! There's usually a tub of it on standby for me as I watch movies and exercise during the week. Fluffy and fresh is the way I like it. One thing, though, is the current Amazon pricing. As I said
, I purchase the 8 pounder. On 2/7/2023, there are some Amazon vendors selling it for over $30! My personal opinion is that's highway robbery! If you happen to be a member of Sam's Club, the price for the 8 pounder is $13.28. My next purchases of this delicious corn won't be on Amazon unless that price comes down.

Absolutely the best!
Flavor Name: Gourmet Yellow (8 lb)
I love popcorn, it is a very healthy snack, at least that is how I justify it! I purchased this container to replace the one pound bags I usually purchase. This is much more cost effective and the container keeps the kernals very fresh. I am so glad that this is even an option! I will purchase again
and again!

I haven't turned into popcorn yet?
Flavor Name: Gourmet Yellow (8 lb)
They say you are what you eat? I eat 1-2 cups measured of unpopped kernels daily, popped. I haven't turned into popcorn yet so I guess we are not what we eat lol. It's weird I'm allergic to white popcorn but not yellow popcorn. They always pop it's always fresh. I eat popcorn like some people eat ric
e my daily staple food. I mix different flavorings and protein supplements including vitamin powders all mixed into my flavorings and pour it on the popcorn making it a complete meal. Like margarine flavor would be egg white protein mixed with extra light olive oil and salt. Or cinnamon hemp with hemp protein mixed with cinnamon and virgin olive oil with salt. It can also be flavored with sports drink. Maple syrup flavoring. There is so much you can do with popcorn to add flavor and nutrition. It's not just a snack but it can be a really great meal. When you add the vitamins and protein supplements into the flavoring and chew it you digest all of it slowly it's really great slow delivery method eating protein and vitamins. It tastes great and it's a good carbohydrate. The yellow popcorn is harder than white popcorn so I believe it will take longer to digest a very good delivery method for protein supplements and vitamins mixed in. But in the end we eat it because we love eating it as popcorn. I don't ever use butter or margarine, I try to make healthy meals out of my popcorn with other ingredients. I recommend hot air popping. Although it Cooks fine with different oils in a pot as long as you keep stirring it shaking it like coconut oil. Olive oil tends to smoke a lot I wouldn't recommend using olive oil indoors making popcorn. Coconut oil leaves a very unique flavoring you would have to be someone who likes the taste of coconut oil. I prefer hot air popping clean fat free and healthy. Hot air popping really absorbs any flavoring added. You can use water to dilute your flavorings but it does make it a little bit soggy. I prefer olive oil extra virgin to mix my flavorings but sometimes extra light olive oil depending on which flavoring.

Best....EVER
Flavor Name: Gourmet Yellow (8 lb)
I buy big because I love popcorn and this brand is tops for quality in fullness and crispness of the popped corn. Good uniformity in the kernel size leads to even heating, swelling...hence popping. Love this product.

I love popcorn and this fits the bill
Flavor Name: Gourmet Yellow (8 lb)
I usually make microwave popcorn every night. That’s why I bought this huge container! And Orville is quality popcorn! I bet if I made popcorn over the stove it would be excellent too, but my microwave popper works well. Big fluffy popcorn!!

Great if you're looking for a lot of cheap popcorn
Flavor Name: Gourmet Yellow (8 lb)
We "upgraded" to this from an even cheaper brand, and this popcorn has a much better mouthfeel and taste than the cheaper one. I cook it in a pot on the stove with some salt dust, and it comes out good. If you want a lot of decent popcorn for cheap, go for it. Not much else to say
