The latest purchase is a big disappointment.......

OR has been my goto brand for many years, but this latest jar is of very poor quality: some big/ many small/ lots unpopped, tough kernel shells left in my mouth------ I threw out the rest of the jar.

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.

Popped Corn Tough!

I purchased this a few days ago, after popping in my new hot air popcorn popper it looked nice and large. However the corn is extremely tough and bland in taste. This not the way Orville Redenbacker used to be! Don't waste your money......

Orville’s Is My Favorite Popcorn

I use a Whirley Pop popcorn maker on my stovetop. It has a crank for keeping the kernels moving and vents to keep the popcorn crunchy. It pops up fluffy and delicious. I’ve tried expensive popcorn but Orville’s is consistently the best flavor.

Nothing Special

This Orville Redenbacher popcorn looks like everyday nothing special bag popcorn. Small skinny kernels. Cooks like regular Jolly Time. Spend a few cents more and get Jolly Time Select. Kernels are plump and cooks up large, fluffy, and crisp.

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.

Tòo many hules, bad kernels.

The popcorn used to be good, now its full of hules. Not hardly any brain kerrnels in any Orv. Red. No matter witch one you buy. Its profit over equality not the same grest popcorn thst it used to be.

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.

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.

Poorly packaged- Pop Corn smells fishy

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.
