JOLLY TIME Gourmet Unpopped Popcorn Kernels, Non-GMO Yellow Popping Corn, 2 Lb. Bags (Pack Of 12)

I'll be honest, my preferred brand is Pop Secret (with the giant kernels) but this is a close second, and way more affordable. I have no complaints, pops well, tastes fine. The only reason I prefer Pop Secret is that they pop bigger and fluffier, but the price difference makes this a great choice as well.

I used to buy this product at the store, but they quit carrying it, so now I buy it by the box from amazon. It's very tasty and easy to make. Just pour enough popcorn kernels to cover the bottom of a sauce pan and cover with enough oil(I like canola) to cover the popcorn, but not submerge it; turn on the heat to high on the stove top and wait for it to start popping. After some has popped shake the pan back and forth a couple of times to get the unpopped kernels back to the bottom of the pan. Once the popcorn gets to the top of the pan carefully and slowly lift the lid as it finishes popping. More into a bowl and salt(sodium chloride) to your liking. Don't use light salt, the potassium gives the popcorn a strange metallic taste. I like to put a beer in the freezer about 20-25 minutes before the popcorn is ready, so it is really cold. Pop in a movie and you're all set.

Put scoop in paper bag, fold top twice, microwave 2min45 seconds. Great & healthy.

Basic Popcorn Kernels; when popped tastes as it should. Sorry, not a super taster when it comes to popcorn (unless you add toppings/seasonings to it after)No idea why they advertise "Gluten-Free" on the bag. Guess it's for the uninitiated following a health trend as corn by itself is a gluten free product (unless maybe there are additives in it). It's like putting "sugar free" on a bag of salt.Very well sealed from the get-go. Has a nice initial tear seal that's very convenient as there's no scissors required and probably 100% chance (unless there's a factory error) that you can mess up opening it for the first time.After the seal is broken, the Zip lock is not really that strong as other brands I used in the past where there are either a zipline slider, double horizontal ziplock, having the ziplock in the upper 3.4 of the bag at it's center, or have a very thick single ziplock. This one is very thin and you have to make a conscious effort seal it tight each time; having to double press/slide it with your fingers. I recommend putting the kernels another ziplock bag or a mason jar after opening. Either that, or double bag it with a rubber band or clip for extra security.Overall, if you're not a super taster like me, it's just your standard bag of popcorn kernels. I would compare prices and/or look out for sales.

This is a great comfort snack. If you prefer “old fashion pop” then this the right thing to get. It hasn’t changed over time and is the same stuff I used to eat as a kid. I’ve had all kinds of microwave popcorn and tried some of the gourmet stuff but when all is said and done I still come back home to good old Jolly Time.

I did a lot of research and this was the best price I can find. Yes it’s a lot of popcorn, but we are a family if 6 and love making popcorn. The fact that they come in individual bags of 2lbs make storing a lot easier. I have one on hand in the pantry and the rest stored in the garage on a shelf.It came in a box but with its weight, the box opened a bit on one side (enough for a bag to be snagged). But, we counted and we have all that we ordered.Jolly time is a classic so, there was no hesitation in buying this specific brand.Will but again when we run out - with the amount we bought, won’t be for awhile!

No matter which way I tried to pop this. Most of the kernels did not pop.

If you don't have the heat too high and you constantly shake the pot that you have the kernels in you'll get all the kernels popped. I use grapeseed oil, I don't know how good that is I think it's better than canola or vegetable by far I don't use those type of oils anymore. So anyways yeah this is a good product I'm glad I bought it.
