Not too salty, January 21, 2009
This is by far, the best tasting microwavable popcorn. Other organic popcorn brands (namely Whole Foods, Safeway's Organics) are too salty for me. This one, however, is like Baby Bear's porridge -- "just right." My kids can polish off 2 bags in one day! Of course I also like the fact that it's organic, low in fat/butter, low sodium, and the profits go to charity.
Best popcorn I know, January 1, 2009
I have loved popcorn since I was a kid but have always dreaded popcorn that is loaded with butter (e.g. movie theater popcorn)

Not only is Newman's Own organic, it tastes exactly how I like it. Not super buttery or salty, very light in flavour. This is by far my favourite popcorn on the market!
the only popcorn we eat!, November 2, 2008
love this popcorn, just a hint of butteriness and not too salty. definitely not artificial tasting-because there is nothing artificial in it! that's why we eat it. popcorn has good fiber, and is a healthy snack not ful of white flour or sugar.
Popcorn for the Popcorn Connoisseur, September 29, 2008

I'm a popcorn addict. When I'm trudging through town and catch the scent of popcorn I become completely focused on popcorn, butter and popcorn salt (not the corser table salt.) Rich white and gold crunchy puffs. I need popcorn and I need it now. In such a frenzied state of mind the worst thing to do is give me terrible popcorn. I'll remember, like my worst enemy ever, anyone who would promise mana and deliver rubbish. When I go to the theatre for a show I'm buying popcorn and bringing my personal salt shaker containing fine popcorn salt. I'm going to enjoy my popcorn, every last morsel. It's all about the Popcorn Experience. So with the Microwave Oven came the marvel of Microwave Popcorn. Early attempts were poor, even embarrassingly bad. The smell of the heated bag was unpleasant, like plastic left on on a hot stove. The flavouring was entirely unlike butter, more like motor oil and it often had far too much salt. Latter attempts were to paper over the shortcomings with Extreme Popcorn, caked in gookum, smelling like melted crayons and giving me headaches. No thanks. I tried several brands and most fell far short of what even the grimyest theatre popcorn maker and soak of high-profit-oil could produce. I remained bound to the finer theatres (those who still used genuine butter and popcorn salt) for my fix. So one day I'm pushing my cart around the local food mart and espy Pop's Corn. I'm rather put-off by microwave popcorn, but on a whim I figure it's worth one more go. The scent of the bag isn't bothersome, the rich steam suggests this will be a better experience and the taste, well, just enough salt and a Popcorn Experience the finest theatre would boast of! At last, a conventient popcorn delivery which accomplishes such a simple task without muck or bother. Well done!

GREAT STUFF!, August 4, 2008
Beats competitive brands I've tried for "Natural butter" taste (not too heavy) and unpopped kernals are non-existant if I microwave just a little longer (10 - 15 seconds) than the pre-set program.
