“Instant gratification takes too long.” – Carrie Fisher
Twitter and Facebook have obliterated the traditional news cycle. Now, it’s a news cyclone.
Amazon has turned 4-to-6 week delivery into “I want it on my doorstep tomorrow…or even better, before I press ‘End’ on this iPhone call.”
And God help you if you expect me to twiddle my thumbs while you heat oil and make me watch my life fly by while you pop OLD-SCHOOL POPCORN, GRANDMA!
Setting aside that weird mutant offshoot known as movie theater popcorn, exploded kernels of corn-rific goodness are now synonymous with a bag and a microwave. Even air-popped popcorn is a 21st century buggy whip.
Popcorn is 120 seconds of electromagnetic radiation, then straight into your mouth. No questions, no difficulties and, most importantly, no delays.
But while expediency is the most critical element in the popcorn equation these days, shouldn’t it still…you know…actually taste good?
With Orville Redenbacher, Act II and a host of others vying for the crown, Thrillist conducted their own taste test of the very best of microwave popcorn — and they’ve come up with a winner.
Yes, there is one corn that rules them all.
Find out who reigns atop the popcorn aisle of your local supermarket over at Thrillist.
