Orville Redenbachers Original Gourment Popping Corn Pop Corn 850g

Okay. So I'm an American expat, so I felt I'd do my duty to provide my popcorn expertise. Yes, this is a bit more expensive, but in America, it's one of the top brands, so I didn't hesitate to buy this when I came across it. I tell you... this vs the other UK brands is like night and day. Using the popcorn maker I've always used, I actually have to lower the quantity of kernels from 75 to 55 grams, as the first time using this brand, I put in 75 grams, which is the quantity I always used for the cheaper UK branded kernels, only to have plenty of unpopped and underpopped kernels left. When I used 75 grams of Orville, I actually had to turn off the popcorn maker early, as it was overflowing. So yeah. as much as it hurts me to say this, America has perfected the art of popping kernels!

The very best popcorn!

Always use this for my popcorn - a reliable popper! Sent super fast. Thanks.

lovely American style pop corn.

The corn is no more hydrated (i.e. no more fresh) than the corn you can find to less than 1/20th of the price in regular UK supermarkets. This is a con. Don't waste your money! - EDIT: I've reconsidered this product and on reflection the corn is actually really good, compared to brands (Natco and Fudco) I've bought from big supermarkets (Tesco/Sainsburys). However, the price difference is still too much (42 grams per £ versus 300 grams per £). If this was priced at say ~£7, then it would be a 5 star review.

Great Service, Great Product

Perfect movie snack !!

Perfect popcorn and volume is great.

Excelente producto, el maíz al cocerlo ya sea con máquina de aire o aceite salen bien cocidas y de un color blanco, el sabor es excelente. Lo recomiendo ya que los granos de maíz que no se cocinaron son mínimos o casi nada .

Good product

This popcorn is as much fun to pop as it is to eat! The kernels are huge and they lifted the lid several inches, even though I didn’t use more than I normally use. I had to remove my pan from the burner before it finished popping because I couldn’t control the lid any longer. The same amount of store brand popcorn barely reaches the lid, so these kernels are of much better quality. I decided to make the batch healthier by using olive oil for popping and then mixing olive oil and butter for the topping. It was delicious! I’m the type of person who enjoys watching popcorn pop even more than eating it, but I’m going to enjoy eating this popcorn more than usual. It’s pricier than store brands, but it’s worth the cost because it makes twice as much thanks to the giant popped kernels. It will be lots of fun with an air popper, too. I’m planning to have fun with that next time. This brand would be great for entertaining kids indoors or outdoors. I usually toss a handful of unpopped kernels onto the still hot ashes of a bonfire or grill so that I can laugh while they pop. You just have to make sure the ashes aren’t still too hot or they’ll just burn up. And you have to keep a safe distance to avoid getting burned by them as they shoot everywhere. It’s hilarious! I’ve used an air popper outdoors with the lid off to get the same results in a pinch while babysitting. You just need a small table and an extension cord rated for appliances to keep it a safe distance from the house. My niece remembers how much fun this was decades later. The huge size of these popped kernels makes this a perfect brand for having this type of fun.

Excellent quality kernel, smaller than what you get in the grocery store dry foods section! The small size is what makes the popcorn perfect and soft. Love these!

Popcorn is fresh and tightly sealed in the plastic containers. Pops well and with few leftover kernels.
