I've seen Jiffy Pop before, never bothered trying it out.

But yeah, way back when, we used to pop our own as well, but we used to just pour some kernels (usually Orville Redenbacher) into a Dutch oven (with a lid, mind you) and a little oil, and pop away.

Also, those Hot Cheese popcorn and buttered cheese popcorn are my popcorn as well.

I'll never know the joy of finding actual prizes in Cracker Jack boxes - that was my parents' generations. My generation? We got temporary tattoos, paper puzzles, and junk like that . . . their generation got toys.

Not the boxes, no, but the contents inside are okay.

Way back when, I got a plastic ring in Cracker Jack. Typical of the 70s, it glowed in the dark.
