When You Can’t Get To A Movie Theater

Microwaves have been common since the 1960s, but microwave popcorn wasn’t introduced until 1982? And at first it wasn’t shelf-stable, so it had to be refrigerated or frozen. Uproxx.com conducted a blind microwave popcorn taste test. Ranking them based on texture, smell, and the overall balance of flavors. They sought out the BUTTERED varieties, and did NOT consider healthiness. Here are the results of the best and worst . . .

BEST:

  1. Orville Redenbacher’s, Movie Theater Butter
  2. Cousin Willie’s, Movie Theater Butter
  3. Kroger, Movie Theater Butter

WORST:

  1. Skinny Pop, Butter
  2. Simple Truth Organic, Butter Flavor
