How do you prefer your popcorn?
Are you a hot-air popcorn fan? Do you pop plain popcorn in a pan on the stove, on the grill, or over an open campfire?

Freelancer Ann Pietrangelo even produced a Popcorn Trivia Quiz.
Popcorn is plentiful!
Penny pinchers claim popcorn is an economical eat, unless you buy the bountiful buckets at the cinema. Wisconsin’s Joshua Cook asks if Movie Theater Popcorn Prices Are Too High.
Pearl Edwards, of Indiana, even offers Money Saving Tips for Parents: A Cheaper, Healthier Way to Pop Popcorn for Snack Time.
