The Stanley Cup Finals are on, and everyone knows
nothing goes better with hockey than beer popcorn!
Orville Redenbacher's Smart Pop!
Buttery Flavour Popcorn
Buttery Flavour Popcorn
I haven't made microwaved popcorn in ages
And I was curious to see what Smart Pop! would taste like...
would taste like...
After 2.5 minutes of joyous popping noises, the popcorn was ready
It has such a nostalgic light buttery smell... so far so good :)
I also liked how almost all of the corn kernels popped so
you aren't left with a bunch of seeds at the bottom of the bag
Time to pour it into a big bowl...
You get a hell of a lot of popcorn from one bag!
Most importantly, how did it taste? Well I only have one issue:
TOO MUCH SALT! The sodium was so overpowering that all that yummy buttery
flavour becomes under appreciated... my mouth was burning after a few handfuls
Maybe i'm more sensitive to salt, but i'm curious if anyone else has tried this
brand and had a similar complaint. Nothing beats stove-top popcorn
, me thinks :)

I started eating a lot of microwave popcorn (despite the toxic bags I keep hearing about) because the other people in my office eat it, and once they make it it smells so good I want some too! I like the kettle corn though. I never really eat it at home though!
ReplyDeleteI have an air popper that I couldn't live without! I haven't bought the microwave stuff in years, but I was once obsessed with the kettle corn kind...
ReplyDeleteI LOVE popcorn. any kind. Just finished watching the game..Whoo canucks!!!
ReplyDeleteWho are you rooting for? I am all for Vancouver!
ReplyDeleteI love all popcorn - microwave, movie theatre, homemade ...
ReplyDeleteI'm also completely partial to good homemade popcorn, especially with a little nutritional yeast and coconut oil on top.
ReplyDeleteI'm a plain Jane air popped kind of girl. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI'm sensitive to salt too! They really do put wayyyy too much sodium in microwave popcorn, I think the general population's tastebuds are desensitized to it, no me gusta.
ReplyDeleteI love popcorn -- but I agree with you that most of that stuff is too salty! I like plain popcorn -- but I really like kettle corn most of all. That stuff is the best!
ReplyDeleteoh man, this might be up my alley. I LOVE SALT in all its forms and permutations. just a heart attack waiting to happen :)
ReplyDeleteah, I've never been a big fan of popcorn, but I love the popping sound! And I'm really sensitive to salt, too!
ReplyDeleteOooh, you're now on my blogroll, too (:

I haven't tried that brand of popcorn, but I react sensitive to salt - gives me bloating, water retentions, and makes my tummy hurt. So better low on the sodium!
ReplyDeleteI have not had popcorn in FOREVER. I still need to jump on the nutritional yeast popcorn soon... ;)
ReplyDeleteI'd probably eat it even if it was a salt lick. I like super salty thangs. It's bad
ReplyDeleteoh, be still my heart; I LOVE popcorn
ReplyDeleteI usually think microwave popcorn is alright, but I find Smart Pop to be rather nasty, and the "healthy" benefits aren't even worth it when you compare it to the normal microwave popcorn and find hardly any difference nutrition-wise.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I can't even stand microwave popcorn anymore; stovetop (homemade- with the kernels and popping pot) is FAR superior.
I love smart pop!!
ReplyDeleteI love stove topped popcorn. It's the only kind of popcorn that my daughter will eat now.
