Popcorn is one of my absolute favorite + to know that I can munch on it as much as I like without gaining the extra pounds is absolute bliss! It was the perfect companion whenever I go to the movies to see my favorite film, or whenever me + my siblings would hang out at home on a weekend, practically doing nothing but to much to our heart’s content. If I had extra cash to shell out, I’d actually invest in one of those popcorn poppers so I’d have a steady stream of popcorn whenever I like! 🙂
When I was pregnant, I watched this horror film with Jared’s dad, of course, with a tub of freshly-made popcorn in tow. The film was surprisingly a bore for something that is suppose to scare the hell out of you, I just munched on my popcorn to keep myself entertained. I actually ate the whole tub on my own + I guess I had too much popcorn, my stomach was queasy + I was feeling ill the next day. I have not eaten popcorn for a long time after that 😀
Oh well, writing about this made me crave for popcorn even more. I will make a mental note to swing by the snack booth the next time me + the little man hit the cinemas to catch Alvin + the Chipmunks 🙂

I am participating in a blogger campaign by Bucks2Blog for popcorn poppers and was compensated. The views and opinions are 100% my own, however.

I received a popcorn maker in 2008 for Christmas. It’s one of those poppers that use heated air to pop the kernels. (Something like this: https://http.cdnlayer.com/ec1images/225/products/6/6015036_122707i_pk.jpg)
One of the drawbacks is that you can’t add butter or flavoring while it’s being prepared so it ends up kinda bland. Power consumption is another issue. That’s why I prefer making either microwave or pan-popped corn.
Generally no, but under those circumstances not so much. Popcorn is not really bad for you; if you make a bag with butter added and don’t add salt you’re fine even at 8PM. With extra butter and **** added, not a good idea, especially while inactive.
Popcorn is good once in a while. 🙂 Anything that is too much is not good.
