The Microwavable Popcorn Taste Test - Our Picks!

At Kernel Kravings, we take our popcorn seriously. And recently, we put several microwavable popcorn brands to the test to find out which one tastes the best.

We tried multiple brands and varieties including Jolly Time Blast O Butter Microwave Popcorn and Orville Redenbacher's Butter Popcorn. Our taste testers were unanimous in their opinion: Orville Redenbacher's Butter Popcorn was the clear winner. This classic popcorn had a rich, buttery flavor that unmistakably stood out from the others.

However, Jolly Time Blast O Butter Microwave Popcorn still wowed us. This popcorn was light and airy, with its buttery flavor pleasantly lingering as we ate. Plus, you can make it in your microwave in just minutes.

We also tried other varieties from various brands, and while these weren't bad, they just couldn't compete with Jolly Time and Orville Redenbacher's. We think these two brands are the best when it comes to microwavable popcorn.

We hope our guide helps you choose the best microwavable popcorn for you. To get more recipes, cooking tips, and product reviews, be sure to sign up for the Kernel Kravings newsletter!
