Homegrown is the best for me, my girl friends mom grows it and we always get a good supply. Bear just got 3 ears in the mail for fathers day. We go for the old fashion way when it comes to cooking it, on the stove in a pot and shake away! Hmmm popcorn conversation, different
Yup it's slow for sure, good start Lenny lol

Interesting, I also worked for ConAgra Snackfood division. My staff and I did all the design and installs of the popcorn presses to make the microwave popcorn bags. Was there from 1997 to 2005 in the Maple Grove, MN plant.
I will definitly agree the Orville pops a much larger kernel but I personnally perfered the Act11 for flavor and texture, just my preference.
Cool!
I prefer a mixture of Pop Secret and Orville because I always thought the PS had a "cornier" taste and the Orville had a better texture.
I left CAGR in 1994, we were still making popcorn in Valpo and Renselear.

this walmart brand come close to Orvil. I used to buy orvil but this stuff is darn close and nearly all the corn pops. 1-4 unpopped seeds is typical

I grow popcorn for ConAgra in Morral Ohio. This is the first year in the 40 plus years that my family wasn't able to raise popcorn due to a extended wet spring. When I was a kid it used to be Jolly Time.

Why would you comment on something you obviously have no clue about?

I agree
Been there, done that! Walmart brand is great. We use a bowl we bought from WallyWorld(7 bucks) for the microwave and by far this brand is the best. Just saying as I grew up in Corn Country IA

A clue? Get real dude. Chinese popcorn tastes the best, especicailly the non union brand. Orville and conagra can blow smoke with the best. It is like oil, beer, sleds, etc. It is personal preference, not who is employing me or lining my pockets to say what is best. I pop mine in full synthetic. I prefer peanut oil but some may be allergic.
I much prefer Sea and Snow microwave popcorn! That Chinese non union stuff is too expensive...

I don't want to descend too deeply into esoteric marketing BS (as we called it, EMB) but PR1 raises the issue of taste. What is taste? If you think back, OR popcorn has never made a taste claim. The brand's claim is that it pops up better and there are fewer UPKs. And ya know what? OR pops up better and there are fewer UPKs!!! It is THE key attributes of this product, it is continually tested and refined to ensure that it meets these two objectives.
Now, the degree to which that is important to you is dependent on the company convincing you that these attributes are what is important to you. While other popcorns may "taste" better to you, taste is subjective. What you like for taste is not necessarily what others like.
Ahh, but fluffy and fewer UPKs are not subjective. It can be seen, photographed, video taped, and shown in your home during a commercial. Remember the original OR commercial? "It pops the top right off the popper!" That can be seen, and people have marched into stores for decades to buy the one that "pops up bigger". Why, because that's what the various owners of the brand have told them is important over the past 4 1/2 decades.
It's not smoke and mirrors. The product does perform better than any other in the attributes of fluff and UPKs. And, since popcorn is a treat and not a staple, a fluffy pop and fewer UPKs do make a better experience, it's a better treat. And that's what the various owners of the brand have been telling you for over 40 years, and none of them have veered very far from that message.

Get a whirlipop, then you won't need to slide it back and forth. Just turn the handle.
Orvile corn with Orvile oil, and popcorn salt, makes the best.
Buy it at Fleet Farm it's maybe a buck more than the cheap brands everywhere else.
As good as any movie theatre.
Air poppers make great styrofoam, dry & tasteless might as well eat styrofoam.
And microwave popcorn leaves a nice chemical taste in your mouth - nasty.

Okay....we need to take a big step back and take a breather....this is about popcorn....not world peace.....
DC...you win the price for OVER analysis of something that used to get strung up on xmas trees. Way more information than we need to digest, and for crying out loud...it's just popcorn.
And if you buy that chinese popcorn....your teeth are gunna fall out from all the malomean agent they sometimes "forget about and dump in there"....
Speaking of chinese....take your specticals along to the grocery store and see how much chinese food and drink is being offered under commonly named food and drink....ticks me off....you can't trust anyone anymore.
Anyone who uses microwave popcorn...simply has a less discerning taste- bud and would eat dog food if presented in just the right manner.
If you slug oil all over it....why not just fess up; you don't want to live to see your grandkids grow up....you're burning it at both ends and are working the program as hard as you can so you go out with a thud....and leave no prisoners. In otherwords, you probably use a stainless steel spatula on a teflon pan....which do you prefer...metal caskets or wooden ones?

Little touchy today, boon?
Wow, I was just carrying on a minimally interesting conversation with PR1, no big thing.
BTW, if you look up sarcasm in the dictionary you might see PR1's chinese popcorn statement listed, you bit hard on that one and I bet he is grinning from ear to ear (yes, that was a corn reference).
Later, boon!
