    Re: Popcorn

    Heh, we went to Restaurant Row last month and my mom nearly died of happiness when she saw the butter dispenser they had. She wants to go there all the time now just because she can put her own butter.

        Speaking of that, I'm surprised movie theatres in Hawaii haven't offered SHAVE ICE yet (or have they?). Sounds like the perfect combination with Mochi Crunch-Popcorn.

          I like the Kettle Korn popcorn. I also like those 100-calorie packets for the microwave. Helps me maintain my ahem girlish figure ahem.

            Does Icee count? In any event making shave ice with a lot of flavor options does take time to manage, add to the fact that shave ice tends to be served with part of it outside it's container, making the possibilty of things spilling in the theater itself.

            It might be nice to have but it's impartical.

              I love Icee at the movies. And at the movies you can get a sprite one. My favorite Icee spot is the crack seed store on Koko Head Avenue in Kaimuki. That guy in there is such a sweetie pie.

                  I used to love it drenched in butter and salt.

                  Then I worked a few years in movie theatres, where one of the perks was "all the popcorn and soda you want, for free." That was when I was in high-school, and you can imagine how much I ingested.

                  So...until about three years ago, even the smell made me ill. Now, I can handle a few handfuls again, but not much.

                    True. ICEE works. As far as making a mess, an overloaded box or bag of popcorn is just as bad, if not worse.

                    We grew up with JIFFY POP. Far superior in flavor and crunch to the microwave stuff. Used to scare the heck out of me as a kid when the foil would expand to maximum pop. Glad to see they still sell this nostalgic brand.

                    Speaking of brands, Food Network recently did a biography on Orville Redenbacher. The man sure was into the science of the perfect pop. That wasn't just marketing fluff.

                        Heh. Might I ask you, and everyone else, what brand of furikake you prefer for "hurricane" popcorn? I always seem to buy the wrong one. It's tasty, but not exactly what you get from carts and snack shops.

                        I definitely sneak in arare, stopping at Longs on my way to the box office. (Hey, I'd buy the arare they sell inside if it wasn't one-third as much arare for four times the price!) Why do they have to put arare in such noisy packages, though?

                          the green label =p
                          it says here aji nori furikake.

                          the prices at the concession stands are high yup, thats supposedly how movie theaters make their money, the money at the door goes to pay for the film. i was thinking the other day that the nachos they sell at dole are an extra rip off. i think it says 'nachos supreme' but its only chips and cheese. and its like $4-5? last night i went to the dollar theater and at least there you can get chili and it comes in container with the cheese and chili on the side. chili smelled funky tho, like cinamon. probably just my nose.

                              The latest in "Popcorn News": Popcorn Maker to Remove Butter Flavoring Chemical Linked to Lung Ailment

                              The decision comes a day after a doctor at a leading lung research hospital said in a warning letter to federal regulators that consumers, not just factory workers, may be in danger from fumes from buttery flavoring in microwave popcorn.

                              ConAgra spokeswoman Stephanie Childs said the company decided to remove the butter flavoring diacetyl from its popcorn because of the risk the chemical presents to workers who handle large quantities.

                              The chemical diacetyl has been linked to cases of bronchiolitis obliterans, a rare life-threatening disease often called popcorn lung.
                              All I know is a badly-burned bag of microwavable popcorn truly smells CAUSTIC enough to cause respiratory problems. Horrors!
