I usually buy the cheap (for us) 2.79 CAD bag of 1kg popping corn. the 850g Orville Redenbacher is 5.79.

However, they were out of the cheap stuff so I was forced to get the ol’ Orville’s stuff. And I found it there were less kernels unpopped, the popcorn was fluffier and weirdly, it sounded louder too. (same stove, pot and everything)

So my question is why is there such a quality difference? Is there a difference in how it’s prepared before shipping? Anyone know?

    Canada. And it’s because I’m cheap. what you pay for microwave popcorn would equal 10 boxes of microwave popcorn output when you make it yourself. Plus I can put my own topping on it. (I find microwave popcorn to be too salty.)
