Movie Theater Style 40-Count Popcorn Packs - Pre-Measured 8-Ounce All-in-One Kernel, Salt, Oil Packets for Popping Machines by Great Northern Popcorn

Everything you read about the reviews from other customers who bought this popcorn is TRUE! Excellent theater popcorn.

The best movie popcorn!! I bought both this brand and the alternative. This one is so much better. Highly recommend it!

We love this popcorn! Almost every kernel pops and it’s not too oily. Salted just right. So convenient as everything is all measured in the package.

We have ordered this popcorn for several years. It has that perfect movie theatre flavor, except the amount of salt is way way too much. I am a salty girl, I love my salt. But this is way too much, I snip the top of the salt and pour it into a bowl before adding the rest to the popper, I measure it out … there is 1 1/2 tsp of salt in each package. I only use half of it, that’s 3/4 tsp. It turns out perfect with 3/4 tsp. The perfect movie night popcorn. Everything else is great.

Currently, at a buck or less per bag, this is the best value portion packs we've found, anywhere. That it was made by the manufacturer of our machine was a key reason we gave it a try too, and we were so satisfied we've already ordered another.We're new to home popcorn machines, but the results we get from this is much better than what we were getting from Orville kernels, popping and topping oil, which was always extremely plain, before adding some movie theater salt. The flavor of these portion packs is pretty balanced, a one size fits all so to speak, not too salty nor too plain. Some will want more butter or more salt, but anyone desiring less probably doesn't want seasoning at all. Subjectively, I like my popcorn a little more buttery, but this has a great taste as is and you can always add some pour over to the bowl, if you want more butter. As is it doesn't sit on me as heavy as when adding extra butter though, so I can enjoy it more often. The salt content was just right for our family.Because the butter/oil pouch is congealed, I did find it easier to squeeze out the contents into a scoop before adding it to the kettle, rather than trying to squeeze it out into the kettle itself, which was a bit awkward for our 8oz Great Northern popper. The instructions recommends heating the kettle for 5-7 minutes and then adding the entire portion pack at once. But Great Northern's site actually recommends adding the butter/oil pouch immediately, letting it melt until it starts to steam, and then adding the salt and kernels.As long as the price stays the same, we've found our new popcorn staple.Update 080719: We bought another case, and have discovered the quality may vary or they've changed their recipe. With some pouches all the popcorn looks white with a lightly salted, lightly buttery taste. Other pouches, presumably from the other case (they've all gotten mixed together on the shelf) the first half of the pop is VERY buttery, but then it's like the butter runs out, leaving the second half mostly white looking. You mix it all together and it's great, no need to add any extra buttery topping of your own.We've also come to love popping the unpopped kernels! Which there are a fair amount of kernels that go unpopped, as they get carried out of the kettle by the other popcorn popping before they can pop too. What's great about this is when you pop them later - the kids call them repops - it produces something like kettle popcorn, all roundish popped balls, which we find a great change of pace. It doesn't pop up as fluffy the second time, so it'll look like you got less popcorn from an 8oz cup. But it's just because they pop smaller the second time. Almost every single kernel pops the second time around. I guess that's because they don't open up so big that they carry other kernels out of the kettle.

Pops great and is very easy to use the premeasured packets.

Best popcorn ever!

So i have been buying this popcorn from amazon for year. I have tried the kernel oil and butter method. It ain’t the same. This stuff is literally better the theaters. Any guest that doesn’t see us pop it asks if we bought it at a Theator. The all in one packet method is the way to go. Just cut and pop. It just that simple. It’s way cheaper than buying the store bag stuff. Not too salty.
