I would have thought this product would have disappeared years ago, with the advent of air poppers and microwave popcorn.

I noticed it in the store a while ago in a new style container.

Does any one here still buy it?

just curious.

Same here. It's not so good anymore. I pop my own corn once in a while.

Remember the popcorn shaker machines in bars? They would put jiffy pop on this shaker arm on top of a heating coil. Ahhh, memories.

I'm surprised Julius isn't posting about needing only a pot and some oil to make popcorn.

:Q

The poor man's camping trip.

Set bag on fire.
Watch bag burn.
Eat popcorn.

I need to put a pan of it in the microwave now so that I can go back and post this before you.

I'm rather surprised they still make the stuff.
hence the reason for my thread.
