Does anyone have an opinion how it compares to Orville's white popcorn?

I've used both and find Snappy to be just as crisp and tasty and easier to find.

You add the powdered butter and salt after the popcorn has been popped but I also add Orville Redenbacher's Popping & Topping to the popcorn and will not had the powdered butter. Taste just like the popcorn from the theater. All my popcorn kernels pop and never have a problem. I shake everything up and walla wonderful popcorn.

I have not tried the popcorn from this particular model because I purchased it as a Christmas Gift that I sent to Texas. However, I purchased a different model but same concept and the popcorn is amazing. I gave it to my son who lives locally for his family and they use it several times a day. The older grandson "13" uses it himself. It does NOT taste like microwave popcorn at all. Even better if used with flavor powders such as Ranch or Cheddar.

It is a nice size machine and may work for you. We use the 8oz. packages and we fill 2 extra large bowls up. Now you could pop 2-3 packages and pop more as you start to run low. It is a very nice machine and we have enjoyed it very much. The popcorn taste just like what you get at the movie theater and there is a light that keeps the popcorn warm. I'd say give it a shot.

My wife and I can empty the 6oz machine during a movie. I'd say it makes a little more than two regular sized bags of microwave popcorn. Actual volume may vary by the type of popcorn you use. We use the prepackaged kind with the oil and salt already in the package, so the volume is pretty consistent. Currently, we're using the Detroit Popcorn brand. I've tried a couple of brands - some saltier, some less salty. Detroit Popcorn was the best mix for me (still pretty salty). And coconut oil is a must! When I got mine, I was between the 4oz and 6oz. I went with the 6oz because it had fewer plastic parts than the 4oz machine, and a better heater. I'm glad I did because I think 4oz would have been too little. The 6oz is just right for us.

There is much difference in taste but I prefer the white and it is labeled non GMO

We've used the Great Northern Packets and regular popcorn kernels; both work well and taste great! This comes down to a personal preference and people eating it. We switch back and forth between the two different ways. Sometimes we use the packets if we all prefer the same flavor of popcorn. When we want a variety of flavors of popcorn or with and without butter, following the popper's directions we use about a 1/2 ounce of oil and put in 8 ounces of regular popcorn since we have an 8 ounce kettle. Once it's done popping, everyone fills their bags or buckets and eat it plain or put butter on it using a spray butter and adding more flavor by putting on one of the seasoned salts such as white cheddar cheese or just plain popcorn salt. Everyone has now seasoned their popcorn to their liking, it's all good !!!

I used the "antique white" one and it tasted like a vanilla buttercream flavor. I had always heard that fondant was gross and so I expected it to be awful. It was really tasty, and everyone kept raving over the great flavor. Hope that helps!

Hello - Yes it does; it is a fantastic machine. I would recommend Orville Redenbacher 5oz. Pop Kit (sold by Amazon) rather than the Gold Medal 6oz. Mega Pop Kit because the popcorn is more flavorful, fresher tasting with larger kernels and much less unpopped corn. Good luck, D.M. Thies

Something else you might like to know; popcorn is a very healthy snack; it is high in antioxidants. I don't know its ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value off the top of my head, but I read somewhere that it's higher than most of the berry family.

somewhere in between. I use this salt almost daily and recommend it very highly. I couldn't eat popcorn without now, I believe you will be happy.

From a purely subjective point of view (and a sample size of just 1), the Wedderspoon Gold had a more balanced/smoother taste to it. The medicinal taste common to the Manuka honeys (of all brands) seemed to be a bit muted in this version. I don't particularly mind the medicinal taste, so I'm on the fence on how much that is worth. That said, others in my house hate that medicinal taste and appreciate the softer tasting Gold version. Hard to say if the 1 jar my answer is based on is representative of all the Gold batches though. My 2 cents, if you want quality Manuka honey with a softer taste... it is worth it. If not, save your money and purchase one of the other raw Manuka offerings.

I am eating this popcorn now, which led me to see if it was on Amazon. I just bough a 6oz. bag at walmart in Arkansas for $1.79. It was the only bag I saw. It taste really good...don't know if I'd pay more than 3 bucks a bag though...

Like the other guy said.... Bubblegum is the closest you can compare it to, but more refreshing. just ignore the "squash" name, its just good and refreshing.

Yes, on the white cast. Felt more dry than greasy. Almost too dry for my taste. Not my favorite.

Both are good. The grape is a more familiar flavor, so I liked it a little bit better. The soda flavor tastes like root beer flavored bottle caps candies. So it depends on what you would prefer. I would recommend the grape.

It is a flavored oil that makes it fast just like (or better) than the movie theatre pop corn. I have a 6oz popper and pop 1 cup kernels with 2.5 Tblsp of the oil, which is usually solid and has to be scraped out because it is a bit cool in our basement, and .5 tsp of flavocal flavoring salt and it is better than what we usually get at the theatre.
