Orville Redenbacher popcorn bowl giveaway

bowl.JPGI admit it, I’m a popcorn snob and my kids are even bigger snobs. We eat a lot of popcorn which is enough to earn us the title of popcorn experts. Mostly we eat microwave popcorn just because it’s the most convenient. The more butter, the better although my kids lost the privelege of pour over butter when they wiped their greasy hands on the couch.

Orville Redenbacher is our first choice of popcorn. Not only do we prefer the taste but it consistently pops well and leaves very few kernels in the bottom of the bag. Call me crazy but it seems to leave the least amount of popcorn stuck between my teeth. That is the one thing I hate about eating popcorn so I’m loyal to any brand that doesn’t have me running to the bathroom to floss.

There are two more important reasons I prefer Orville Redenbacher to other brands.

  1. They offer a butter popcorn that is diacetyl free. Diacetyl is a chemical linked to a rare lung disease when inhaled. The thought of how many bags my kids have inhaled freaks me out. I have been opening all bags for them since the story hit.
  2. Their Smart Pop popcorn is a great choice for those dieting or looking for a healthier option without sacrificing taste. It’s 94% fat free, 100% whole grain, with zero cholesterol or trans fats per serving.

I love Orville Redenbacher’s popcorn so much that I’m giving away a popcorn bowl with 4 packages of microwave popcorn and coupons to two lucky winners. The first 10 people who comment on this post will receive a sample pack of popcorn and coupons.~Kristie

  18. My husband and I are on a budget, so with skyrocketing movie prices (does anyone else think the rate at which they’ve outpaced inflation is outrageous?!?) we are officially on the wait-until-they-hit-Netflix cycle. After putting our baby to bed we have mini-dates with popcorn and vintage TV or 20-30 minutes of a movie. OR’s Smart Pop is our favorite for the health/flavor balance.

  32. you know, you just told me something new about Orville Redenbacher, I wasn’t aware that they offer a version that is Diacetyl free. I agree that I was also worried when the story hit about the chemicals in micro corn. Most of the time, I buy O.R. popcorn just because we like the taste and its a brand that’s been around for awhile, one that my kids know and trust to be good. Thanks for having a great giveaway, I will be looking for the Diacetyl free butter version next time I go shopping.
