Top 10 Delicious Popcorn Tips Shared by Rockfordians
National Popcorn Day was this week. But let's be honest, is there ever a bad time for popcorn? Heck no! There's always room for some popcorn in any situation.
I'm a huge popcorn lover. Going to the movies is one of my favorite things in the world because of the popcorn. And when COVID-19 shut down movie theaters, I was having serious withdrawals. So much so me and my boyfriend got a popcorn machine for our apartment. 10/10 recommend if you're missing movie theater popcorn like me.
There's nothing wrong with throwing a bag of microwave popcorn in for a few minutes and just pouring it into a big bowl. But you're limiting yourself. You're missing out on just how delicious popcorn can really be. So we're here to help you reach your full potential.
We asked 97ZOK listeners for their popcorn tips on our Facebook page and you did not disappoint.
