Food is teh rule.

So, do you like popcorn? Do you like the micro popcorn type? Do you prefer your popcorn salted, with butter or <b>"sweet"</b>? I've never tasted sweet popcorn, please tell me about this craziness.

Is it true that some people (=Americans) use so much butter on their popcorn that it's dripping with fat?

Do you eat popcorn often? Do you only eat it when at the movies?

I'm running out of questions... Please gather around the fireplace and tell me all your popcorn-stories!

I love popcorn, but with just a pinch of salt and a tad of butter.

I like buttered salted popcorn, but not to the "dripping with fat" extreme. That makes me hurt. Sweet popcorn (the only kind I know of is Kettle Corn) is surprisingly good. I think you should try some.

I like to throw popcorn at people rather than eat it. >:D

Salty, with enough butter to make them glisten. Not drip, though. :aimmad: Cheddar popcorn is great as well, but I keep my distance to sweet popcorn or any other strange variations.

much of what americans eat is dripping with fat. case in point: McDonalds. but wait! there're mcdonalds all over the place! gee. guess that means Americans aren't the only ones eating things dripping in fat.

but I like plain popcorn with a bit of salt and coolaid (not mixed in, but to drink). makes for a nice summer afternoon.

A bit of powdered cool-aide mixed in with popcorn sounds interesting...

People who are able to eat salted popcorn must have amazingly resilient kidneys.

I prefer my popcorn sweet, thank you. That's if I ever eat it at all.

Microwave popcorn is utter shit. Get an air popper.

Question: How do you make popcorn sweet? Do you just put sugar on top of it or something? O.o Is it <i>warm</i> and sweet?

This fascinates me.

Kettle corn is sweet. I don't know how they make it though.

How can you dislike popcorn? Popcorn is a god! Especially kettlecorn. I have no idea how they make it, but it tastes great. The only problem with popcorn is that I find it gets stale extremely fast. I can't eat it once it loses its warmth, because it starts to taste like cardboard. And I can't stand popcorn in bags or tins. But other than that, yes, popcorn is a god.

This fascinates me. You can get toffee popcorn around here in the supermarkets, which is pretty good. Can't say I've ever tried popcorn warm :p I don't think I have a preference with sweet or salty, just not mixed :p

The only kind of popcorn I like is caramel. The smell of regular popcorn makes me sick.

I like to pop my own corn in a pot. I don't like it microwaved and I don't like Jiffy-Pop. I don't like it with butter, just salt. BJ puts a lot of garlic salt on it and afterwards his breath is deadly, but it does make the popcorn taste good.

I don't eat popcorn much. I don't usually eat popcorn during movies because then I have to share(my popcorn!) and it runs out in no time. I like all types of popcorn that I have tasted, but the ones I've gotten most used to is mildly buttered popcorn.

*agrees with Mandee*

I cook mine on the stove with Sunflower oil and then add salt/pepper.

If any of you get the notion to try air-popping popcorn in a caravan, I suggest you don't.

In my whole life, I've probably only eaten popcorn....5-10 times. I don't like it.

In that case, eat it more. Eventually you will be forced to realize that, deep down, you really do love it.
