Deteriorating Quality

I have purchased Orville Redenbacher traditional popping corn for years and have sadly noticed a significant down hill slide in quality this year. I will no longer be purchasing this product.

Orville Redenbacher's Popcorn Kernels

Popcorn kernels, not even half are popping. They are usually very good. What happened? Can you fix this issue? You have always been my favorite popcorn. Upc 02700048805 Original brand 32 oz.

WOULDN'T RECOMMEND

Bought this product a couple of days ago, one word: disappointing. All fluff, but full of skins. If you're thinking of making a full batch, just know that it will be in the garbage in the matter of less than a minute. I tried, but....

Science Project!!!!!!

I have not tried it yet. I am using for a science project. Should be good. Thank you! I prefer other brands but this is cheap for the project. And I needed a ton so thanks for selling in bulk.

I bought this and their oil and once I combined the 2, I couldn't stop eating it, it was fluffy, light, and the perfect midnight snack, I recommend this to ANY popcorn lovers or just normal people

Not the same

I always thought that OR was the best popcorn. I am so very disappointed in the bottle that I just bought that I wish that I could give it zero stars. What has happened to the quality that once was there? In fact, I want a rtefund!

Good Popcorn But A Lot of Hulls

The popcorn tastes good, but when it pops in my air popper there are a lot of hulls that get stuck in my teeth. I'm going to try using a strainer to filter out the hulls.

Nothing popped

Just switch from bags to stove top and bottom kernels, a rather large jar and none of them popped. I've tried it six times. I've been using Orville Redenbacher for years, but I will never buy this product again.

Chewy like styrofoam peanuts

Popped up A few stovetop batches of the Original. Each batch was consistently soft with no crunch - like chewing on styrofoam packing peanuts. The white popcorn was so much better than this mealy mouthful.
