I usually buy the cheap (for us) 2.79 CAD bag of 1kg popping corn. the 850g Orville Redenbacher is 5.79.

However, they were out of the cheap stuff so I was forced to get the ol’ Orville’s stuff. And I found it there were less kernels unpopped, the popcorn was fluffier and weirdly, it sounded louder too. (same stove, pot and everything)

So my question is why is there such a quality difference? Is there a difference in how it’s prepared before shipping? Anyone know?

    I’ll be honest, a lot of the explanations here sound like bullshit marketing talk when what it probably is the cooking chemicals they use.

        I think person above assuemd this was the goyslop variety that comes in bags and it is treated with best American factory has to offer.

        Either way, loose kernels are deff the way to go.

        Healthy, affordable food.
