I usually buy the cheap (for us) 2.79 CAD bag of 1kg popping corn. the 850g Orville Redenbacher is 5.79.

However, they were out of the cheap stuff so I was forced to get the ol’ Orville’s stuff. And I found it there were less kernels unpopped, the popcorn was fluffier and weirdly, it sounded louder too. (same stove, pot and everything)

So my question is why is there such a quality difference? Is there a difference in how it’s prepared before shipping? Anyone know?

    Why can’t someone from Bobo Brand Popcorn infiltrate Orville Redenbacher’s fancilities and take enough fanseeds to plant and reproduce, then sell the same popcorn for cheaper?

      Probably because corporate espionage is frowned upon.

      Same reason Monsanto sues the crap out of anyone if they think they’re even looking at their bioengineered crops.
