    I have been doing this for about a week. We bought the 25 lb bag of popcorn from Sam's Club along with the popcorn salt and this works great with kids that love to have popcorn all the time. I also like that I can control the amount of salt.

    omg!
    i always thought the microwave bags were something special when you'd buy 'em at the store. (kinda like those sandwich boxes w/the reflective material.)

    and i'm not using staples... tape works happily for me. i'd be the one person to touch the staple & get burned.

    how great! thanks for sharing

    We don't use staples either. So far, I have just folded the top of the bag down three times with no problems. No tape or staples.

    That's great! I love popcorn but not all the salt they put in the pre-made bag!

    So here's my question--do you re-use the bags? =D

    Now that I think about it...the fake-buttery flavor is what I like about microwave popcorn. I have an air-popper I got at a garage sale for $1, no bag required, so I guess that's more frugal, huh.

    I sent this link to my mom and this was her response:

    I loved it too.
    I'm still trying to figure out what to season the popcorn with. Anybody know how to make a Kettle Corn taste?
