I eat popcorn fairly often and I was wondering if I can improve on the taste with minimal effort. Do you guys know any good mix I could use instead of salt alone?

I was about to scroll by because I have nothing helpful to add, when I saw the last few words „…instead of salt alone“. Salt? You guys are wild! The only thing that belongs on popcorn is sugar (and this way I‘m showing that I‘m German, I guess, while you prove to be from the US, I think. Taste is funny. Enjoy).
Sugar is really the thing to add to popcorn over there? That’s wild. Here in Norway we’re all about the salt and butter also.
Well, there are the few of us over here who like to enjoy salted popcorn. But I guess we are a minority…
In the movies they sell popcorn, everywhere. And 99% it’s sweet, in some rare cases they have both. But never, ever it’s only salty. Butter sounds nice, actually. I might buy that when I see it one day 🤔
You can get popcorn with sweet stuff in the US. My dad used to carmelize sugar in a pan and make cracker jack. And chocolate-covered.
But it’s more-frequently a savory snack.
I didn’t know that sweet popcorn was a bigger deal in Germany, interesting.
Chocolate-covered? I’m in! Never even thought about that, very cool. I wonder if a cheesy popcorn would be possible as well.
Yeah, if you can buy popcorn somewhere (at the movies, in rollercoaster parks etc.), if it does not say otherwise, it is always sweet. Some booths have both salty and sweet, but not so often.
Oh, my friend, there’s this stuff called Chicago Mix that is half cheesy popcorn (just a cheesy powder) and half carmel popcorn. It’s a rather tasty blend of salty and sweet.
Sounds like foodporn to me 😆
Not from US! I’m from Brazil and sugary popcorn is very common here, I don’t particularly like it though.
Hah, I guessed wrong then. To be honest, I only tried salty popcorn about 20 years ago, so maybe I should give it another chance. The idea to use bbq herbs or other stuff sounds cool, actually.
Sugar on microwave popcorn is super good. Tastes really close to kettle corn.
