Nostalgia KPP424 Best Tasting Premium 4-Ounce Popcorn, Oil & Seasoning Salt All-In-One Packs - 4 Ounce (Pack of 24)

Bottom line - I like the popcorn, ease of use, and flavor. I've tried two different popcorn packs for our popcorn popper. Previously I dabbled in using my own coconut oil for popcorn, but the delicious flavor of artificial butter wasn't really there. I have tried this and another popcorn and it's worlds of difference, and I won't be going back willingly. I love the ease of use of squeezing an unnatural yellow goo into the popcorn maker and watching it melt into a shimmering golden pool of oil before I add the popcorn and salt. The corn seems to pop up well every time and not leave behind many kernels. The only drawback to these pre-measured packs is that they give you enough salt to satisfy even the most extreme salt-loving tastes (like my son). For me adding the entire pack's worth is too much, and there's not a great way to measure how much to put in. It's a small gripe, and admittedly I haven't done anything to try to lessen it - I keep dumping the entire amount in. I only notice in the 'salt mouth' I get after eating a couple servings and the amount of sodium flavor crystals left behind to clean up before popping a new batch. Other than that, it's a great value, it's super simple to use, and it's fun and fast to make. I'll buy again when I run out.

I have the nostalgia popcorn maker (highly recommend that especially if you have children) so I bought the 4oz size of popcorn and it was the perfect amount for our machine. Pro : Popcorn is delicious, just like movie theater popcorn. It taste and looks just like it as well, especially if you are like us and add extra melted butter to it. All of this kernels popped perfectly. The seasoning salt wasn’t to salty or overpowering, which instead it was the perfect amount. I was concerned it’d be to salty for our liking. Con : I dislike that it is all one package, makes it a little difficult to pour into machine. HOWEVER there is enough room between each section to actually cut them apart. Which you can see in the above photo. I will actually take the time to cut and separate all of them and put them in their own little bins. It’s worth the extra time. Overall I recommend this popcorn.

These popcorn packets have utterly spoiled us. We use them in our stovetop popcorn popper and it makes the perfect amount of popcorn for us. I've been very pleased with the low number of unpopped kernels. The batch we bought before this was another very well-known brand that matches my popper, but this Nostalgia brand is going to be my go-to from now on! This tastes just like movie-theater popcorn, only I don't have to deal with other people and I can make it any time I want. We'll definitely be buying more when this runs out.

I'm quite happy with this popcorn. After we bought our 2.5oz All American Popcorn Maker, I was disappointed with over-the-counter oils, butters and toppings that promised "movie flavor" but didn't deliver. Nothing I'd popped before was even as good as microwave popcorn. Being already accustomed to disappointment I didn't expect much when I bought this Nostalgia popcorn set. But I've been pleasantly surprised with this product. Unlike other reviews, I had no leaky/messy oil bags. Although the popcorn itself isn't quite as fresh as over-the-counter, it has a yellow season which adds a lot to the flavor. I usually like salty popcorn, but I don't need to add any salt to this. The oil is a bit thicker than others I've tried, and much more aromatic making the whole house smell like good popcorn. It leaves the popcorn with a yellow color like movie corn. Although it is harder to clean off my popcorn maker, I think it's a good trade-off. The set is listed as 2.5oz portions, which would have been perfect for my 2.5oz popcorn machine. But in fact these are 5oz packages. Since we usually make 2 batches, this is a minor issue. I'm not sure if I received the wrong size, or if they are advertised incorrectly? Bottom line is that this was a good purchase.

Movie theater popcorn at home

We bought one of the old-time popcorn makers at an auction, and set about trying to duplicate the flavor of movie theater popcorn. Found it! This popcorn is convenient to use, with everything pre-measured for you. The saltiness is just right, and it has a buttery flavor without tasting or feeling oily.

As popcorn packs go this has been one of our favorites over the last 10 years, Tried many brands and this is the best so far. I did just order a case of 24 but one of Amazons talented mebers put one bag in the box with anothe item I ordered. Not sure how that happens but they took care of a credit for the purchase. I will say for us we dump out half the salt as it is too salty if you use all of it.

I ordered this Nostalgia SP660SS 6-Quart Stainless Steel Stirring Speed Popcorn Popper along with Nostalgia KPP24 4-Ounce Premium Popcorn, Oil & Seasonings Packs - 24 Count. This was recommended for this popper. The popper works great but produced very chewy popcorn . At least the box I received is very chewy. I don't know if is the popcorn or the popper. I'll have to do some experimenting. The oil is soybean oil with butter flavoring (it is separate from the popcorn) the seasoning is mixed with the kernels so if you don't want the salt and other flavoring you'll have to sift it out. It's actually not as salty as I thought it would be. So far a great popper! I will update my review after some more trial and error! If you want crunchy popcorn this isn't it! This is chewy popcorn!
