Pop goes the corn!

Until tonight I was a stove top popcorn virgin. I had always used microwaveable popcorn or an air popper before this (I think dad gave ours away when he moved). Tonight I got the sudden craving for popcorn and after much searching I found a decent sized bag of popcorn kernels, but didn't know how to pop it. Luckily they had instructions on the bag

But you get the satisfaction of chomping on them afterwards, yea?

Oh man, is there a difference in OUR ages. I learned to make popcorn in a pan when I was 8. When the hot-air popper came out a few years later, it was a minor miracle wonder machine, akin to the VCR (come to think of it, it may have been around the same time the VCR was finally affordable enough to actually *buy*).

I remember I always used to use our air popper, it was awesome.

I remember when VCR's were over $150 or whatever. Today they're just big paper weights.

OMG, stove popcorn is sooooo retro. I think it's been 10 years since I had any.

I don't think I'll go back to microwave popcorn. Stove popped is so nice and fluffy and not too oily.

lol
you will never be able to go back

One time I was babysitting these kids and I had to make stove top popcorn for them.

...I didn't put a lid on the pot. There was popcorn EVERYWHERE!!

We used to have an Air popcorn machine. I loved that thing. It became obsolete when we go our microwave.

I remember just air popping the stuff for the fun of it.
