Default Pop Up Bowl Popcorn: A review

An Orville Redenbacher offering from ConAgra.

The concept may have been good where the popped corn
is contained in the packaging as a disposable bowl.
Trouble is, its a flimsy so-called paper bowl with a crappy
plastic cover which in my opinion is hard to remove as it is hot
and oily. It doesn't like to behave as the instructions show.
Also the bottom of the bowl is that same flimsy plastic.
The popcorn has no discernable salt flavor and fails to taste
anything resembling "buttery". If you want butter, you'd better
add it...ditto on the salt.

The 82 gm. package is 12.8% less than the 94 gm. package of a
competitive brand as well, but who's counting. There were about
30 or so unpopped kernels as well.

On a rating of 1 to 5, I would rate this product...number 2...
your rating may vary.
