"Real Theater Popcorn" is the easiest way to get the best theater style popcorn at home (especially if you use a whirleypop popper)

But you should be aware that most resellers are selling this stuff for more than you would pay if you just buy direct from the source (and yes it is available online popcornpopper dot com)

$1.10 to $1.60 per pouch depending on the volume you buy is closer to what you should be paying, not $2 and up.

I have a six-quart whirley pop, and these packs say they make six quarts of popcorn - perfect, right? Not so much - I find that they make too much - by the time it's all popped, the popcorn is crushed a little bit because of how it's being compressed in the popper - if they offered a 4 or 5 quart version, I'd get that instead. Other than that, though - the popcorn tastes awesome, just like the movie theater.

Pro tip: at Sam's Club you can buy a big (2 pound) container of Act II buttery popcorn salt for less than $4. It's just like the popcorn salt that comes in these packs - I add a teaspoon to the popper anytime I pop corn without these packs, and it definitely helps. Adds a yellow color too.

I often wonder if I am the only person in the world who cannot stand microwave popcorn. Give me real corn and a little oil and I am pretty happy. Then I discovered this popcorn at a kitchen store in my local outlet. Then they went out of business and I lost my awesome popcorn connection... until now.

Wabash Valley Farms is the best popcorn you can get outside of your local multi-plex (though I really like target popcorn too). You don't need the whirly popper as indicated on the package instructions - I always cook it on the stovetop in a large covered pot; my sister cooks it in one of those fancy carnival poppers.

Each pack contains 5 pouches of product. Each pouch contains popping oil, popcorn, and a buttery salt topping (which I only use about half of - it is very fine and very salty). For those that like additional butter, you can add it after popping. While I cannot attest to the exact amount of popcorn yielded, it does do a good job of filling up my 32-cup Tupperware Thatsa bowl. Thatsalotta popcorn.

The unit cost is about $2.40 per pack (or $1.66 per pouch in the 15 pack), which may seem high when comparing it to microwave popping corn, but you just cannot compare the quality and taste (and when compared to theater popcorn, it is a fraction of the cost). Orville Redenbacher has nothing on Wabash!

The packets work great in a 6 quart stir popper. They make the chore of making the popcorn quick and easy. I wish they contained a little more oil though, it doesnt quite get to all the kernels.

Last year I bought a popcorn machine for my son's carnival birthday party and needed some popcorn kits to go along with it. After reading the reviews on Amazon, I decided to go with Great Northern popcorn because it had a lot more review. WRONG CHOICE! It was terrible! It's had a chemical-like smell and was EXTREMELY salty -- and I am a person that salts everything and it was way too salty for me to even eat. It was just all around nasty popcorn.

This year I decided I'm going to break out the popcorn machine and use it again, but I needed to get different popcorn. I wanted to allow myself enough time this year that if I didn't like the popcorn I ordered, I would have time to order replacements before the party. Last week I ordered the Real Theater popcorn kits and OMG! I LOVE it! It tastes really good like movie theater popcorn or the popcorn you get at the popcorn carts at the zoo or amusement parks. My house smelled really good like popcorn you just had to have. I even stepped outside for a little bit and walked back in to see how the smell would hit you if you were just walking in the house. It was fabulous!

I LOVE this popcorn! Very fresh, all but maybe 5 kernels popped, the flavor is awesome!! I recommend it to anyone that likes popcorn!!

The movie style flavor is there, but the popped kernels are a bit chewy. It could be that I made it wrong by using a machine instead of the "Whirely Pop" thingy.

This popcorn combined with the Whirley Pop is better than the movie theater. I will never again buy microwave or any other kind of popcorn. My entire family is spoiled now.

I got this stuff as a gift one year and left the box sitting on the shelf for several months. I decided one day while watching a movie to give it a try. Wow! What had I been missing? This is absolutely the best popcorn money can buy for your home.

Now that we've tried it around the house, nothing else will do.

We have really enjoyed the old time taste of this popcorn. I made a mistake and ordered two boxes but now am glad I did. Will probably have to order more sooner than expected. Thanks for the quality product--
