Results vary for Hot Air Poppers, October 16, 2009
some good results some bad..., October 16, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I bought the 12 bottle variety to try out. I just recently started using a hot air popper so wanted to see what varieties worked well.
First off. The baby white and baby yellow kernels are just too light for use in a hot air popper. We did pop them at work using a traditional popper and they were fine.
The are two varieties that stood out as my favorites for my hot air popper. The first is the Wisconsin White Birch, which popped up big, fluffy and close to zero unpopped or blow out kernels. The second is Savannah Gold, it popped up big, nice volume and again almost zero unpopped or blow out kernels.
Two varieties that are close seconds as favorites are: Autumn Blaze Blend (small, crisp, no unpopped kernels but quite a few blow outs) and High Mountain Midnight (some no pops, good volume).
There was only one variety that I would not ever use again. The Black Hills had about 4 times the quantity of unpopped kernels as any of the other types, the kernels popped up very small, it was extremely hully and some kernels burnt in the hot air popper.
Orchard Blossom, Red River Valley and Harvest Blend types all popped fine in my hot air popper with only a few unpopped kernels. The Blue Heron also popped fine with a few more unpopped kernels than the three mentioned in the sentence before; it was also earthy in taste and popped up small kernels. Savannah Fire had very few close to no pops and was very chewy without being hully.

Best Popcorn I've ever had!, April 30, 2011
This review is from: Gourmet Popping Corn Gift - 4 lb Bottle, Autumn Blaze (Misc.)
ever since I started buying Fireworks popcorn I have wanted to eat popcorn every day. So far, I have tried three flavors: Wisconsin White Birch, Savanna Gold, and Autumn Blaze. ALL three were AMAZING! They all pop-up different sizes, but that's what makes them so much better than any regular popcorn you get in the store. Savanna Gold has an almost buttery flavor right away after it is popped, and pops up large. Autumn blaze pops very small, and is nearly hull-less (I'm guessing there are some baby white rice kernels mixed in with some other small varieties, but I haven't tried the baby white rice yet), and it is amazing. The kernels are tender and yummy. The Wisconsin White Birch is a really good popcorn also, but I usually mix it with Savanna gold to make a good mixture of flavors. I have purchased all the flavors, and will trying the rest shortly. I pop them in a stir crazy popper, and it usually pops almost all of the corn. Rarely are there many un-popped seeds. I highly suggest these three flavors, and I'm sure I'd suggest the rest once I try them. If you love to eat popcorn you'll love fireworks popcorn.

Popcorn, February 11, 2010
Sunset Fire is the absolute best popcorn ever. It tastes like you put butter on it but you did not. It is a little pricey since shipping and handling come out to be around 12.50. I wish the company would just say the popcorn is a little more expensive instead of trying to rip you off with the really high shipping/handling fees.
