(More customer reviews)When this product first came out(2001-2003?), it was the most delicious popcorn I had ever tasted. It tasted just like real corn right off the cob, hot and in popcorn form. It was so good I bought it by the case and sold it at my gourmet espresso bar, gave it away to family & friends and munched out on it at least 2 nights a week. I stocked up enough to last a couple years. When I ran out in 2003-4?, I couldn't find it anywhere. I called Redenbacher and they said they had discontinued the product. God, I was so bummed out!! Recently I went on line searching around, and there it was! on Amazon. I couldn't believe it! I ordered the $27 case and couldn't wait for it to come. After opening, I ran to the microwave, popped my first bag, opened it and immediately knew something was wrong. The popcorn was bright yellow with butter dripping down the inside of the bag. Since I don't like extra butter popcorn, I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach. The original was a very light butter, smelled like corn and was sweet & fluffy. I put a handful in my mouth and it tasted like super, duper, movie theater butter popcorn. This popcorn tasted NOTHING like the original version of corn on the cob. For those of you that tasted the ORIGINAL (first) receipe, I'm sorry to say that this popcorn is a total disappointment. I was so upset, I took the entire case to our local food bank. I then called Redenbacher (Conagra)and they confirmed with their superiors that the recipe had been changed when they re-introduced the product back into the market this past year. PLEASE, if you loved the original recipe and you know what I'm talking about, write to Conagra Foods and ask them to bring back the original recipe!! The reps at Conagra said customer demand may help bring it back. If you are looking for the corn on the cob from the early 2000's, DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT. It's not worth the cost of the shipping. Just go buy any Orville extra butter popcorn product and it will taste the same as this. I don't understand why company's mess with a good thing. Please join me and voice your opinion to the manufacturer!

Orville Redenbacher's COTC takes popping corn and blends in a roasted corn taste, just like corn on the cob! It uses a unique corn hybrid to pop light, fluffy, tender, and delicious popcorn every time. Natural butter flavor adds even more taste to the popcorn. No wonder it won the 2003 Gold Taste Award from the American Tasting Institute. Each microwavable bag yields about 12.5 cups of popcorn.
