Not a huge fan of popcorn, but I do mine in the microwave. Don't go to movies much, but it's fun to splurge on the buttery, super unhealthy popcorn there!
BEST POST I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!! I actually have a cute air popper for my popcorn. I also have a specific pot if I have to use that for whatever reasoning. I think my favorite way to pop popcorn is in the big movie theater poppers. I had one as a kid and to watch that thing fill up more and more knowing you don't have to pay a arm and a leg for so much and you don't have to share with a long line up of people behind you. Microwave popcorn I think is my least favorite.
@Megabyyte - Some grocery stores in Canada sell the theater popcorn and for much cheaper then a theater where the popcorn is enough to bankrupt you let alone buying a ticket and drinks. Aha actually if I want theater popcorn I run to the grocery store.
@Foodhog - Yeah! It's insane how much it costs to go to the movies! I couldn't imagine taking a family of four to a new movie. That's like at least $40 in tickets alone. Then, if you buy the snacks, well... yeah. good luck with that! lol Who really wants to spend over $50-$60 bucks just to go see a 2 hour movie? Not I! I love $1 theaters! lol And we only get snacks sometimes. Oh and we share. Don't know who can eat a ginormous tub of popcorn all by themselves.
My only beef with popcorn is, it gets annoyingly stuck in my teeth and it makes me thirsty. That's why I don't eat it much. lol
Why I went into all of that? I dunno! lol
So first it's s'mores, donkey, and now popcorn?
I'll pass on the popcorn, but I'll take a s'more! 
Air popper popcorn is good for making caramel corn. Otherwise, I have a special pan, too. It was an expensive saucepan that I thought I HAD to have, then I didn't like it for sauces, so now it is, as Hubby puts it, "the world's most expensive popcorn popper."
I usually just torch a corn field...
Mmm popcorn is my favorite snack! I love it best at the movies. Yumm! And I never could cook that Jiffy Pop without burning it. haha
@Megabyyte - Oh! I love popcorn! Yum! Yup! I can eat a giant bowl!
@Foodhog - Yeah! I like some oil on my popcorn - or a bit of butter - plus a little salt!
@whyzat - Yeah! Popcorn is best popped in a pan... Yum...
@mlbncsga - That's a lot of popcorn!
@Megabyyte - Ooops! I deleted the ad you relied to! Sorry! LOL!
@CuddlyKat - I love popcorn too!
Now you're making me hungry, and it's not popcorn time, it's bedtime.
@ata_grandma - Oh! Popcorn is a good midnight snack! LOL!
Don't tempt me.
@Megabyyte - heh,heh unfortunately omegaman comment was removed and it looks like you are talking to the "air".
Speaking of air, air popping is a healthy way to eat popcorn. Microwave popcorn uses bad oils and one person got sick from inhaling the odor of cooking popcorn that is also imitation!
