2. Just butter.

It's got enough salt so no need to add any. (Of course I know that if it's unsalted butter the no salt needed would not apply.)

Popped in corn oil with homemade chile infused oil added.

Generally Chile de Arbol used to make the oil.

You can also just cook the chiles in the popping oil until fragrant, then remove them before adding corn.

I use 1/4 oil to 1 - 1 1/4 cup of kernels popped in a stainless dutch oven on high heat.

however, I can also get down with garlic powder and parmesan.

I have friends who love to sprinkle ranch powder over popcorn (buttered or not).

Back when flavored microwave popcorn was a new thing, they did a "sour cream and onion" variety that was amazing. I don't know why they don't make that anymore.

ON EDIT: I googled a bit, and now remember it was a seasoning packet that came with the bag. Now I have to find that stuff sold in a shaker.

15. Don't make microwave pork rinds indoors

Bought those once out of curiosity. Had to air the house out and the microwave smelled like pork rinds (not in a good way) for weeks.

I'd rather burn popcorn, unpleasant as that is.

I watched it bloom from 8K tweets, to more then 175K before I fell asleep around 5am. I learned,
1. no soy butter on popcorn
2. I will never check out #Ted Cruz on trending topics, expecting to go to sleep much earlier. I laughed way way too hard.

Please explain. I know what this is, but I've never heard of it for a topping for popcorn.

I first tried it @ a local independent move theater on the pop corn and enjoyed it. For me, I put the pop corn in a brown paper grocery sized bag, then immediately shake on brewers yeast, close the bag, shake the bag to distribute the brewers yeast, then pour it into a bowl to eat.
Hope this helps.

That and a pinch of smoked hot paprika?

Might just work.




Then again I'm the guy that read the 'flop-tarts' cartoon on the pop-tarts box and thinks they missed the boat declaring grilled banana a failure. They just need a little brown sugar caramel and that is a Bananas Foster pop-tart!

Butter and ground bacon, Drizzle melted peanut butter... caramel... hot fudge... maple syrup, shake parmesan and butter on it and my newest favorite... a Balsamic reduction made from Balsamic Vinegar and brown sugar drizzled over it... it's so good.

We love popcorn... (hulls not so much.. lol)
