Snappy Butter Burst Popcorn Oil, 1 Gallon

Excellent source for the drive in theatre. We have had nothing but issues with butter warmers. They either quit working shortly after purchase or start shooting which is dangerous! It tastes great!!

With this oil and a stirring stovetop popper, I'm making popcorn just like at the movies. If I wanted to use this as a topping also, I could do that - but I use a butter flavored salt which will stick to the kernels as they've been popped in oil. The taste is great and so is the smell while popping the corn! I've used other brands which just don't seem to have as much flavor, and in a bottle this size it's WAY cheaper than buying a small bottle every couple of weeks at the store. I transfer it to a smaller bottle with a squeeze top which makes it easier to measure when I put it in the popper, and that is a very tiny inconvenience considering the much better value, and the great taste!

Good product ! Last long time and good flavor.

Ordered this item for my boyfriend because of plenty of Reddit reviews. Alas it was savable but had to been dropped on the opening. It was bent and my boyfriend couldn’t even get it to pop back out. Minor inconvenience but still an issue. Spent about 202minutes trying to clean the bottle so it doesn’t stain before putting it anywhere. It was a leak due to the nozzle being bent in. Smell is kinda odorless but if you have smelled cooking oil you’ll know what I mean.The oil itself is amazing gave us the “AMC” popcorn as my boyfriend describes it. Not too sold on it yet but after a few tries with the amount is crazy. The taste is amazing but not perfect on its own, if you want the salty flavor get the popcorn seasoning as well. The color and texture is there and it doesn’t burn the popcorn or the popcorn maker. I recommend heating the oil first until you hear it sizzle and then adding in your seeds and flavorings!

I've been a Butter Purist (TM) for literal decades. Seeing those tubs of margarine at the grocery gives me flashbacks to growing up in the 1970s and 1980s when butter became The Root Of All Evil. Friends, those were dark days. I digress.So I buy a few boxes of butter every month to use for cooking and baking and, of course, spreading on peanut butter sandwiches, because if you remember that milk commercial and because of that commercial you remember that Aaron Burr was who killed Alexander Hamilton but you can't say that out loud if your mouth is all stuck together with peanut butter, you'll know why you'd want to add a smear of butter to your PB sandwiches. Besides, butter is delicious. Again, I digress.But recently the price of butter has shot up (along with everything else, amirite?) and I just can't throw it on everything willy-nilly anymore. So I started looking for cheaper butter substitutes I could use that weren't watery like margarine, something where I needed a fat with the mere flavor of butter blended into a dish or greased onto a pan. Then I found this stuff. Whoda known a popcorn-cooking oil would work so well! I poured it up into a squirt bottle and we now use it to cook eggs or to put into foods where Real Butter doesn't need to be a star.I don't have the figures anymore, but one night after a few too many wine spritzers and before I ordered a $25 jug of oil I'd never even tasted, I did the math with a sharpie on a paper towel to see how the price compared to butter. So I'm not going to redo the math for your amusement, but as of 2022, this stuff is a lot cheaper per ounce than butter. You can math it out. Use the calculator on your phone.Now, this stuff isn't magic. I'll still be using butter for baking, unless the recipe calls for an oil. And on the aforementioned PB sandwiches. But we've been pretty happy so far using this weird butter-flavored popcorn oil for cooking.Next we'll have to try it when making, you know, actual popcorn. It's GOT to be tastier than popping it in vegetable oil, right?My only complaint is the color. It's radioactive orange. Which means our eggs have an orange tinge they don't have when cooked in butter. I wish there wasn't so VERY much food coloring in this stuff. Not that I'm opposed to food coloring, I just bought some new colors to jazz up the Halloween treats I'm making this weekend. But if something tastes similar to butter, I'd prefer it be a color similar to butter. Not "I am a convicted felon who is on work release to pick up trash alongside the highway for a nickel a day that helps me pay for cigarettes" orange. You know what color I'm talking about. ... Yes, you do.

This tastes legit like movie theater butter. I don't know if this particular brand is used in theaters but this is definitely the the stuff.

I got this based on a TikTok video claiming it was the perfect movie theater popcorn at home. He claimed this was one of the items the theaters used.We put in 2 tablespoons of oil in a pot on our stove and mixed our Flavacol with our popcorn and put it in the hot oil. Shook the pan a little to prevent burning. Once all the popcorn was done we put a little oil on the popcorn.When I say this tasted EXACTLY like theater popcorn, I’m not exaggerating!***If you use the Flavacol, a little goes a long way!!Bottle came in a plastic bag to prevent leakage. It’s doesn’t have nutritional values but be serious, we’re not here for that!

Tastes just like movie theater popcorn. Our house smells like Harkins. So worth it!
