    I don't eat popcorn much anymore but do love it. Lately I have been trying different spices/flavors and am a big fan of dill cheddar (store bought). At home I have a parmesan/truffle spice and garlic that I like on the popcorn with a bit of oil spritzed to hold the spices. I have a microwave popcorn bowl that I use but years ago I had the stovetop pan with the hand cranked handle to move the popcorn around as it heated up. That worked great on my gas stove but I don't think that kind of pan would work on the ceramic cooktop. If there is any disconnect with the pan/cooktop it turns off the burner.

    So, you don't make popcorn at home in a microwave or anything?

    Mmmmm...M&Ms of any kind work well in popcorn! I'm a peanut girl.

    I love it with lots of butter and salt, but more typically for a healthier treat I do my own in the microwave (no added fat) in one of those poppers, then I spread it out on a baking sheet and give it a spritz with some avocado oil and add some sea salt.

    We don’t actually, as just eat it occasionally, we buy pre bagged snack size as sometimes my son likes them in his school packed lunch so they are always fresh that way :heartlub

    I don't eat a lot of popcorn but did discover this recipe a few years ago and that is the only version I eat now and I absolutely love it. Olive oil, fresh rosemary, smoked paprika spice and sea salt. Yummy.

    I am not a popcorn fan b/c I loathe picking the pieces of my gums! Every once in a blue moon I'll have some and regret my decision almost immediately! Lol..

    I hardly ever make it myself anymore because our microwave is fickle and sometimes burns it!

    Yeah, it definitely has some drawbacks! I'm still finding kernels where I was eating and watching the game. Whenever I go to a movie, I inevitably find a few pieces in bra when I get undressed that night! LOL

    I am intrigued reading all your comments about popcorn! Popcorn is not a big deal here in Sweden. They mostly come in three different flavors - salted, buttered or cheddar. When we buy snacks we tend to buy potato chips or cheese doodles. But man do we have a wide range of potato chips for our little country!

    At the movies it's sour cream and chives with a side of astros - which are like m&m's .
    Too good.

    I like a potato-forward country! We have some crazy flavors of chips here, but I'm a fan of sour cream and onion.

    I like pretty much any flavor of popcorn and it's my go to snack! Trader Joe's just had French Onion flavored popcorn and that was super :) The only thing I don't like is popcorn with drizzled chocolate - too much for me.

    Yummy!! My fave is caramel corn, but I also like a sweet and salty mix with just buttered/salted popcorn with some m&ms.
