microwave popcorn: the poll

[MrMorgan]

ok, this is really random, but that's why there's a forum topic called "random, random, random", and if people can make a post saying they're in dire need of help because they can't decide which color gamecube to buy... then i can make a post to ask the following question:

 

is it bad to eat an entire bag of microwave popcorn in one sitting?

 

i'm 31 years old, in really good shape, and have a very physical job. still, there's something in me that says "morgan, that's quite a lot of popcorn. maybe you should take it easy." the problem is, it just tastes so damn good, and if i don't finish the bag all at once, i end up throwing the rest away a few days later, and that's wasteful. i'm counting on you, the themeparkreview forum readers to help me with this dire dilemna!

i personally don't like poopcorn outside of a movie theater

[DragonKhan]

It depends on what else you eat... Everything is bad when eaten in masses. I eat a lot of junk food aswell, but I'm in good health. Just don't go overboard and don't use the popcorn as a replacement for regular meals. Then it should be no problem to "dig in"...

 

And other good food should be no problem in Germany

I don't eat microwave popcorn, I either make my popcorn with a air popper or eat it at the movies!

 

When I make popcorn at home I only put salt on it.

White Cheddar popcorn is the bomb! I am gonna go make some! Thanks for the idea!!!

I don't care for most of the microwave popcorns, but Newman's Own has a low-sodium, low-fat line that's pretty good. Still, I much prefer popping it on the stove. I have one of those pots with a paddle and crank handle for stirring the corn, so that it pops more evenly and isn't likely to burn. Gives me more control over what I put on the corn, too.

Uh Oh

 

 

Thats bad news for me because I eat about hmmmm 3 bags of popcorn a week. And when I eat popcorn it has to be the blast-o-butter or something with quite a bit of butter. Its like a new drug to me, i'm addicted to popcorn.

I eat a bag of popcorn like every week and I'm still as thin as a twig. Don't worry about it.

My friend sometimes eats a bag of popcorn (probably butter) a day, and she's in the best shape out of almost anyone I know. Of course she exercises a lot too, so she probably just burns it all off.

I eat popcorn in the "Mini personal serving" bags once a month... I enjoy the disney 101 flavor bags too! each kernal is like a different flavor...Kinda like the japanese disney update by the Alveys just in a microwave bag.

I said to avoid it, but then again, I'm biased because I HATE popcorn.

[ebl]

I do eat it, even though I really shouldn't.

 

The best popcorn is the stuff I make with my Theater III popcorn popper. It's an aluminum pot with a lid on it that you heat over a stove on low-to-medium heat. You put a half cup of corn kernels and 1-3 teaspoons of oil in it, then you turn the crank to stir the kernels and oil till they all pop.

 

Even though it isn't as heat tolerant as canola oil, I use olive oil, which gives the final product a great flavor.

Go for the whole bag my friend. I'm not just talking about regular buttered popcorn. I go all out with the Orville Redenbacher Cinnabon popcorn.

[calcajun]

I eat a whole bag every other night also!

[dandaman]

I usually eat a bag of popcorn every other day. I'm a little biased to say "Keep eating, it's awesome", but then again, I might die early from cholesterol, etc.

 

I also eat at McDonald's, and many other fast food places. Recently though, I discovered Subway, and go there for food every chance I get.

[Hattuchili]

I have never tasted popcorn from a microwave! Does it really taste good? Or better said like the popcorn at a cinema?

[coasters 4 me]

^ I dont really like Microwave Popcorn. There really isnt that much taste of it, IMO. But nothing can beat the Popcorn from the cinema. I like Sweet Popcorn.

[Nrthwnd]

We're used to both kinds. But we always grab a "Large-With-Marge" (margerine) at the movie house. Usual places we are, give us a free refill for having on the drive home. Yum.

 

But - my David always has a box (or more) of the multi packs of micro-popcorn handy, in the kitchen cupboard. And it's the Orville Reddenbacher (sp?) brand of it. And we'll have one, once in a while for 'major tv viewing,' a movie or special DVD we're watching, etc.

 

We could easily go thru one bag each, easy!

[rollermonkey]

I detest popcorn. Most particularly the smell.

Yuk!

Oh ino what your talking about I saw that on Unwrapped on the Food Network. It looked like it worked pretty good and speaking of popcorn, my mom just microwaved some so Peace!

[alpengeist04]

I have to say that I don't eat regular popcorn anymore, since I started with that damn kettle corn. I do at least buy the low fat kind, which has only 240 calories per bag.

[Kenny]

If it is wrong to eat an entire bag, I don't want to be right.
