i dont usually eat popcorn because most places its covered in butter and salt. but just straight air popped looks like it would be alright. but to be honest just plain popcorn is pretty boring. I would rather have rice or something

I do that all the time!

I like the taste of just plain popcorn too actually.

I have these small plastic containers that aren't too high, I put popcorn, some salt on the bottom, along with water and pop it into the microwave with the top just cracked up for some steam to come out so the top doesn't explode off. The steam heats the kernals, the kernals get salted and done and I eat.

My buffalo sauce is from the little hole-in-the-wall joint that invented buffalo wings in buffalo NY. It is mainly butter. Sorry to burst your bubble, cook, but as good as that combo sounds, I'm afraid it would be almost as bad as the fake, trans-fat, butter flavored oil on movie popcorn. :-(

Popcorn is a waste of time that gets stuck in your teeth.
