Do they not make that anymore or something? I always remember seeing it at the grocery store because they always had them hanging up at the end of the aisle, but I don't think I ever had it. Before Scream I always assumed it was meant for camping, because why wouldn't you just buy microwave popcorn otherwise?

My mother would buy Jiffy Pop sometimes just for the novelty, but camping always seemed like the best use case. It's definitely still made.
>microwave popcorn
If you've never tried making popcorn yourself, it's worth trying. It's easy, extraordinarily cheap, and you control everything that goes into it. It's not as fast or as easy to clean as microwave, obviously, but it's still both fast and easy by normal cooking standards. I haven't purchased microwave popcorn since I learned to do it.
I enjoy it because I can make a huge batch for all my friends in one go (instead of one-at-a-time microwaving), and it's a small competition with myself to see if I can cook that much while managing to both pop every kernel and not burn anything. Burning is hard to do otherwise.

>> No.18239335

>>18239323
Yeah, I've been making my own popcorn for decades. I was just talking about in the 90's when I was a kid. I don't know if I ever asked my mom to buy Jiffy Pop, but if I did she probably thought I would have burned the house down trying to make it.

They apparently make a version without the colorants, but only in like a massive bucket size. I go back and forth over sucking it up and ordering a lifetime-and-beyond supply of it, but I've never even tested the version in these images and don't know if I'd even like it.
Plenty of other good toppings out there, so maybe I'll never know.

>popcorn on the stove is the best

Came here to say this. I use a sauce pan, lid, oil. I have used coconut and vegetable oil. Either is fine. Pour 1/4 inch of oil and add 4 kernels. When they pop, it is hot. Add popcorn. When it hits the lid, pour into bowl, giving room to let the other kernels pop. Keep doing so and you will have perfect popcorn. Add sea salt.

The best way to do it is to use just 1 kernel as a thermometer. When it pops, the oil is hot enough to add the rest.

My father drops a kernel in to test and puts the rest in if it starts spinning. He used to call out "spin time is in time" while pouring them in, but he probably doesn't do that any more. He's gotten less hyperactive in his old age.

jiffy pop was and is still a thing.

If you remember it's a plot device, OP. The point is she gets sliced and diced and the popcorn burns.

Having the microwave beep and the popcorn being only mildly scorched wouldn't have had the same dramatic effect.

It was a metaphor for a heart attack. Heart attacks are fatal and you smell burning when you have them, and her character was a bit of a heartbreaker. All the other deaths are metaphors too, like the girl in the garage being a metaphor for dying of alcoholism (it's a garage to symbolize drunk driving), and the teacher being a metaphor for suicide (he's isolated from the other people and nobody cares about him). And it's like death is so random and everywhere and that's why you want to Scream.

Jiffy pop is actually super fuckin shitty. Just take a sauce pan and put some oil in there. Put the kernels in the pan. Cover the pan. Cook it and wait for it to pop and gently move the pan. Its really great and the popcorn is really good that way. But those little jiffy pop things suck
