I loved this product when it was in my local grocery store but as usual when I find an item I liked they discontinue it. Well to my surprise I found it here on Amazon. But it no longer contains any carmel popcorn and that was one of the best parts. It states it so on this advertisement but it isn't listed on the packages and doesn't contain any inside.

Popchips Potato Chips Review

Popchips Potato Chips
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
One of my biggest frustrations with doing Weight Watchers was always the problem of finding good chips. I will eat the baked ones, but they are undeniably very different from regular fried chips. In addition to this, I've never been able to find a baked chip that came in salt and vinegar flavor, which is my favorite type of chip. This meant that, whenever I had the craving for this particular flavor, I'd have to eat the regular fried kind.
I picked up an oversize bag of the barbecue flavor Pop Chips on a whim at Costco. I'd heard about them and was curious about what they're like, but I'd never before been able to find them in the area. Much to my surprise, my very thin husband who is totally addicted to barbecue chips loved them and pretty much ate the whole bag before I'd had any. I had tasted a couple of them and thought the barbecue flavor was good, so I decided to go ahead and order the individual bags from Amazon in barbecue for him and sea salt and vinegar for me.
They are definitely worth the money. I want to emphasize, however, that you will not be fooled into believing these are the regular old fried chips. The taste and texture is something like a cross between rice cakes and chips. I say rice cakes because they have something of that puffed look that rice cakes do. Still, they are very good and the salt and vinegar is nice and strong, which is just the way I like them.
As for the portion size, it's pretty generous. For my fellow Weight Watchers, they are 2 points per bag, and they definitely make for a satisfying, filling snack or a side for your sandwich.
I would definitely recommend these to anyone who is sick of the limited flavors of baked chips and would like something that comes in a wider variety of more exotic flavors. I'm planning on trying the parmesan and garlic next.

Made with all-natural ingredients, these original-flavored potato chips from popchips allow you to snack without the guilt. Unlike other potato chips that are fried or baked, popchips are popped using heat and pressure, then tossed with a flavorful blend of all-natural seasonings. The result is potato chips that have less than half the fat of typical fried chips--yet with flavor and crunch to spare. Popchips are made from wholesome potatoes and contain no trans fats, saturated fats, or phony flavors or colors--nor is there any cholesterol or monosodium glutamate (MSG). Plus, when you eat them, you don't get greasy hands or those fluorescent orange fingertips. Since there are no preservatives, make sure to seal the bag tightly with a clip once you've opened it (or, better yet, just eat the chips all at once). In an unopened bag, the chips will stay fresh for more than a year. This package contains 24 single-serving bags of popped potato chips. Each serving is 0.8 ounces, or about 19 chips.
About popchips Popchips are an all-natural line of popped potato chips with all the flavor and less than half the fat of fried chips. The company was formed in 2007 to bring new flavor and real innovation to the snack aisle. Thanks to the magic of popping, popchips offers a snack so tasty and crispy that you won't even notice it's healthier.

Orville Reddenbacher Butter Flavor Popping Oil 16 oz - 4 Unit Pack
Average Reviews:

This is a wonderful oil to pop corn over your stovetop. I buy it because it's got a real butter taste, but also because it has NO HYDROGENATED OIL! It's nearly impossible to find microwave popcorn that isn't manufactured with hydrogenated oil and so I pop fresh Orville Reddenbacher popcorn with this popping oil. Popping corn fresh gives a fresher taste and I can control the additives, like this healthy butter flavored alternative oil. Great product!

Chocolate Popcorn Flavoring Review

I ordered this to use in my popcorn machine. I was uneasy about how the kettle would handle this product, but since I have a great kettle cleaner I went ahead and ordered it. I am sure glad that I did because this is FABULOUS! It leaves no mess in the kettle at all. When it starts to pop the first kernels that come out are the best coated ones and then as more pop they get less coated, but if you mix them all together I think you get great flavor. Just remember this is a sticky coating when it first comes out so unpopped kernels stick to the popped ones so watch out for those. Still a great tasting product that I will keep purchasing...

Mix 1/2 teaspoon of Ranch flavored seasoning with 1/4 cup of cream and 2 tablespoons of mayo for a yummy creamy salad dressing. (single serving)
I've also tossed my greens with a little olive oil and then sprinkled on the Ranch seasoning for a healthier, lower calorie dressing. Make sure you mix your salad just before eating or your greens will wilt.
Tastes great and no MSG!

Now Foods Organic Popcorn, 24 Ounce (Pack of 2) Review

Now Foods Organic Popcorn, 24 Ounce (Pack of 2)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Seems like every movie night or TV show watching event is accompanied by popped corn.
Thus, we definitely burn through a lot of this stuff.
We use to buy whatever was in bulk at our local supermarket. Since we were eating so much, we figured we should look into a non-genetically altered version.
- First time purchase of organic & non-GMO popcorn
- Kernels are smaller than store-bought bulk
- No difference in our hot-oil popper, everything popped just the same
- The hull of the corn is almost non-existent = the smaller size. Thus, this lends itself to a more tender popcorn and less getting stuck in your teeth.
- Also the kernels that don't pop fully are still chewable
- When Googling hull-less popcorn (not that this is hull-less), its supposed to be easier to digest too
We use the West Bend 82386 Kettle Krazy Popcorn Popper and Nut Roaster with this popcorn.
We have people over often and we always get compliments when we pop this corn with just a bit of oil and add a dash of salt before serving. Sometimes we'll melt butter, but mostly we don't. Now when going to those same people's houses they too are starting to offer popcorn.
OVERALL:
It's a tasty snack, easy to make, popular with guests, a whole lot cheaper than offering a bowl full of chips AND it's organic and not-genetically altered. Thus we know more readily what it is we are putting in our bodies.

BlinQ QPF100 Popcorn Maker Review

BlinQ QPF100 Popcorn Maker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've had several hot air poppers over the years, none with problems. I've only thrown them out because they've gotten old and look unsightly; not because they stopped working. I'm sick of microwaved popcorn and decided to buy a new hot air popper. The Blinq is small and cute and I got it on sale at Bloomingdales for $19.99. Simply put, this is a major piece of garbage. For every kernel that pops, another 5 to 10 kernels shoot out prematurely, carried out of the machine by the one popped kernel. These aren't popcorn "duds" that wouldn't pop otherwise. These are just prematurely blown out of the machine. On top of that, a large percentage of popped kernels don't get blown towards the bowl but in other directions so there's popcorn all over the room, no matter how large a bowl is placed under the shoot. Towards the end of the popping cycle, a large number of kernels that were about to pop but hit the bowl first start popping and shoot like fireworks from the bowl (it's unclear to me how they pick up such a high, long and forceful trajectory. I've seen unpopped kernels pop out of bowls before but not THAT far). Basically, from around 4 Tbs of popcorn, I get about 1.5 cups of popped popcorn or no more than I'd get from one of those little snack sized single serving microwave popcorn bags. And I get back about 3 Tbs of unpopped kernels between the bottom of the bowl and whatever has flown all over the kitchen. I find kernels in places I'd never expect to find them, days after using the machine. Do NOT buy this machine.

Cuisinart CPM-800 Popcorn Maker, Brushed Stainless and Red Review

Cuisinart CPM-800 Popcorn Maker, Brushed Stainless and Red
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This product is great in theory only. The promise of getting the taste and crunch of a pan-popped corn was a pipe dream. The design is poor. The lid traps the steam inside during the cooking process and results in tough, rubbery, styrofoam-textured corn. Plus, the popped corn had a weird taste that is indescribable.
We are loyal Cuisinart customers and have used the same model coffee maker for over 10 years. When one wears out, we quickly purchase another of the same. We were very shocked that Cuisinart developed such an under-performing product. And, as popcorn lovers, our disappointment was huge.
