I know this is great popcorn, but the container is a big problem. I ordered this item twice in December. Both times the container had ruptured inside the packing box. Popcorn kernels were leaking from the packing box. So disappointed.

You get a lot of corn but it’s not great quality. There were several kernels that had black spots in the center of the kernel, not sure if it’s mold or what.

Came busted open, corn everywhere! I was excited when it arrived, opened the box and the plastic was broken!!! Corn all over! Needs to be packed better

Inside the box that arrived were two containers of popping corn and a bottle of honey. One popping corn container arrived broken, with kernels loose inside the box. The shipping box was far too big for the three items, and I'm glad the honey survived the trip! Made a batch of the pop corn and it smelled fishy!!! I usually purchase organic Amish popping corn that smells like fresh corn when popped. I suspect the fishy smell is from chemicals. GMO doesn't necessarily equal 'safe'. I'm glad Sam's Club will refund this popping corn purchase.

Has never failed using oil & pot. We have followed the directions and use our 49 year old family popcorn pot. (had tried air poppers and popcorn makers but when back to tradition). 1/3 cup popcorn plus two table spoons of oil (prefer advacado but will use canola as they have high temp ratings ) - place three kernels in pot, when they have popped add the remainder. When the popping is underway let moisture escape (can use screen or let lid lift) so it is not tough. (too much oil -tough, too little oil or too cool may not pop, too hot may burn). We have had success.

I buy this at my local grocery store. I use a silicone microwave popper. I set the 1100-watt microwave to about 3.5 minutes. I listen to it pop and wait until most have popped. Occasionally, I have to stop it a little early, but rarely. I scoop out the popped kernels into a container. Any unpopped kernels I stick back in the microwave for 66 seconds. I scoop those popped kernels into the container. I usually have less than 10 unpopped kernels at this point. I add popcorn salt and imitation butter to my popcorn and mix it around for even distribution. I'm ready for my movie.

I've always had great success with OR popping corn. I do not use oil instead I have a microwave popping glass globe that I can put the corn in "dry" or add a small pat of butter (half a tablespoon). Set in microwave for 5 minutes and I have the popcorn I want/need. The amount of unpopped kernals (I pop 3 tablespoons at a time) is typically 3-5 kernals (making it about a 92% pop rate) this is the best rate I've had of all the brands I've tried.

This has been my go to Popcorn product for many years. I either use my Pro Popper with the twirly handle or if just making a single bowl, using a shaken medium pot with a vent hole on the stovetop with a little canola oil and medium 6/10 heat. The only time I've ever had a problem is when the product has been opened a while and gone stale. Air poppers have too many un-popped kernels so found the tried and true method always worked best.

I've tried many brands of popcorn kernels. I keep coming back to these. I haven't had the experience another reviewer said - that the kernels now don't pop fluffy and have a lot of hulls. Popping your own popcorn is an art - sometimes we get a lot of unpopped kernels or less fluffy popcorn, but it's not about these kernels, it's about heat, movement, amount of oil, etc. This is my go-to stove-top popcorn for over a decade!

I make popcorn for family every night on gas stovetop with dedicated popcorn pot with oil. We enjoy many popcorn types, incl. heirloom varietals and grocery store bulk kernels, but Orv Red is the go-to. Kernels explode, literally lifting compression lid off of pot. Lots of unpopped kernels, but pnes that do are same size, crunchy, and flavorful
