Mr. Redenbacher needs to get with the Organic Kettle Corn program. Sure, it's impressive that the geeked-out popcorn maker offers Organic Microwave Popcorn at my local conventional grocery store (never mind that the Organic version comes with only 2 bags per box, as opposed to the 3 bags in regular 'corn ... for the same price). But where is the organic kettle corn in his "green" offerings?
Every brand of micro-corn has an assortment of flavors in its arsenal: cheddar, butter, butter lite, movie theater butter, artery-clogging butter ... and yes, kettle corn. That slightly sweet, slightly salty satisfier that has moved from the State Fair to our living rooms. And yet ... the makers of said popcorn have not yet forayed into making an organic version. A shame, indeed.
So, tonight, after returning Marc's 2-day late movie to Safeway (yes, they have one of those instant renta boxes) I browsed the 3 full shelves of microwave popping corn and settled on a particular variety of Orville Redenbacher's Gourmet Popping Corn: Smart Pop! Kettle Korn. It was the only one made without hydrogenated oil.
I guess you can chock one up to old four-eyes after all.
