Only fair

This popcorn is very convenient since it’s already measured out but the flavor as flat. Not a rich movie theatre butter flavor at all. It’s very much like a medium grade microwave popcorn but I’ve gotten my popcorn machine dirty to make it. Not really worth it. Now I’m stuck with a huge box of popcorn that o don’t want to make/eat. Bummer.

Used popcorn- no joke

This review is less about the product and more about the condition I received it in. I opened the box to a large clear sack of individual packets as expected. The sack was zip tied closed which I though was strange, but didn’t think anything of it until I opened it- to find 3 packets split and leaking in A ZIPLOCK BAG. The only thing that makes sense is that the bags were previously purchased and returned, only to be re-sold without inspection. If Sams is re-selling returned food, without so much as checking to see if the packaging has been messed with it makes me rethink doing business with them ever again...

Perfect for our group

Using these pre-measured packs is so much easier than having to deal with bulk oil and kernels. The results and taste are pretty good. Clean-up is easy too. We drain some of the salt out of every other pack we pop. This item isn't carried in the stores, which is rather annoying and costly. Especially since I've had 2 orders damaged in shipping. The first time I got a credit for unusable packs, the second time the carrier noticed the leakage and returned the case which I had to re-order. Friendly customer service, but I'd rather not have to deal with it!

Product is stale

Although I like the convenience of this product having both the oil and popcorn in one package, I think the stock on their shelves does not get rotated often enough. All the packages in our box were stale, and we opened and went through most of them within a few months. I popped this with an 8 ounce kettle machine and although the flavor is good, the popcorn is kind of rubbery after popping, so I won't buy this one again.

reply from Supplier Response

Dear TLCMassageTherapist, For best results when using a kettle machine, please make sure you let your kettle heat up for a few minutes before putting the Mega-Pop Popcorn into your kettle. If not, this will cause the corn (since it is not at the right kettle temperature) to take on a rubbery texture. The doors should remain open while heating up, and at least halfway open while popping. This allows the steam to escape that builds while the corn is popping in the kettle. Otherwise, the moisture will build up in your popper and get into your popcorn giving the corn a rubbery taste and texture. Make sure you store your corn in a cool dry area and refer to the best buy date on the outside of every box. Step by step popping instructions are on the doors to all Gold Medal poppers, for quick reference. Sincerely, Sam's Club Merchandising

Great product!

The flavor is outstanding! Pops good, very few unpopped kernels in finished product. My only suggestion is make it easier to get into the hot kettle. Perhaps perforation between the oil and the kernels so you can separate the packages for easier dispensing into the kettle, and perforated at the top for opening so it doesn't require scissors.

Not easy to use

My only complaint is the packaging. It is almost impossible to cut the package to get the oil out without cutting in to the package half containing the pop corn, what a mess! Everyone knows you melt the oil first in the popper, and then add the popcorn once the oil comes to temperature. Please, build a better mouse trap. Separate the two, oil in one package, and popcorn is a separate package. You have now just built a, better, cleaner, more user friendly mouse trap.

Why isn't this carried in the store?

This stuff is great. Buy it and never have to pay theater prices for popcorn again. yes, its' that good! Only bad thing is that you have to pay shipping : ~$8 = +30% to your order! Why don't they carry this in the store! Now that would be customer service!!

I bought this popcorn for our machine to hand out at haloween instead of candy. It was delicious and everyone loved it.

Very Convenient and Great Tasting!

We used the packets for Family Movie Night. The 8oz packets are easy to use and the flavor is excellent!
