I'm old fashioned. I like Orville Reddenbacher White cooked in large wok shaped pan that has small bit of flat bottom area and glass lid so I can keep close watch on popping progress.

Begin with hot burner, tsp. corn oil and the three kernels to tell me when oil is ready. When at least 2 of the 3 have popped, add 1/4 cup kernels and shake pan until popping stops. Finish with a dash of salt and/or whatever other seasoning I fancy at the time.

Amazon sells a powdered butter (Hoosier Hill Farm Butter Powder) and also a powdered cheddar (same brand) that I'm thinking of trying. It's supposed to be new and different from the old fake cheese flavored popcorn flavoring. Has anyone else tried either?
 

I love white popcorn. I bought a special bowl with lid just for the microwave, I can pop as much as I want and control the salt and butter, Generally,I pop it plain and add melted butter after its popped. Once in awhile I purposely burn a few,I like the taste of burned popcorn.
 
I love popcorn at the movies, only problem being I rarely go to movies. I wouldn't trust myself with popcorn at home because I'd probably eat the whole thing and would start a habit of eating it often. I Know Me!

Yes but that’s why they call it a sinful pleasure.
It’s not only fun, it’s wonderful curling up watching a great movie with the best tasting popcorn ever.

So what if the kernels gets stuck in your teeth.
Just sit back and enjoy.
It’s one of life’s simple pleasures. 🥰

I used to crush the unpopped kernals with my teeth so they wouldn't go to waste.

I don't know how much money I saved over the years by doing that, but it probably wasn't enough to make up for the $1100 that it cost me a couple of years ago to have one of my molars capped when a chunk of it broke off when I was doing that.
 
I like any kind of popcorn as long as it's Movie Theater Butter. But I've found you've really have to know your microwave. Just got a new one with the same wattage as the old one, but after a few times of burning the popcorn and experimenting, I finally found the right timing to get a good nice pop. Before with the old microwave it was 2 minutes 10 seconds. Now it's 1 minutes 30 seconds. You'd think they'd make microwaves with a standard heat for the same wattage. Not so, and they are both the same brand of microwave.

Ouch. I can imagine that happening. Popcorn kernels can do some serious damage for sure.
I’ve got a couple of crowns and I have to be extra careful while flossing them . I’m always fearing popping those caps off.

Speaking of dentists. I need to get mine cleaned.

One of my favorites is when Patsy & Edina woke up on a garbage scow. 😂 If I tell you that almost happened to me and my favorite drinking gal-pal I know you'll believe me!
